Justice for Nirbhaya and a mother’s devotion

It is a good judgment indeed by the Supreme Court to hang the rapists of the Delhi 2012 Nirbhaya gang rape and murder case. But what about the juvenile, Mohammed Afroz? He should have been castrated. This would teach other rapists a lesson; those who keep treating women like sex objects and throw them away when they have satisfied their lust. Its high time men treated women with dignity. After all, a woman too is an educated person born from a mother's womb.

Meanwhile, in India, Mother’s Day is celebrated on the second Sunday in the month of May, every year. But in many other countries of the world, Mother’s Day is celebrated on an entirely different time of the year. Everywhere in the world mothers are respected for their extreme devotion towards their children. And on Mother’s Day children pay their humblest tribute to their mothers and also thank them for the best of care and upbringing. Just as in the West, many Indians too take Mother’s Day to reflect on the importance of mothers in their life. A mother has very special place in the heart of her children. She takes care of her child about everything at each moment. Our mothers are like a security blanket to us because she saves us from all problems.
