Sanjay Dutt involved in murder of hundreds, allowed his home as base for Islamic terrorists and RDX, keeps weapons illegally – he probably will be let off or gets do-chaar saal kee jail.

I havent even touched the subject of Afzal Guru yet.

Cheers India.

PS.. Note the scenario – Manu is drunk already. Manu asks for a drink, Jessica refuses. He feels insulted, the way he is refused. He whips out a gun. Someone comments – Its a fake. People laugh. He shoots.

My point is not to prove that Manu should be let off. My point is, why the unequal treatment in two different cases. If Manu had been a famous actor, would he have got a lighter sentence?

Jason – Good one. That Ram Jethmalani…is a total fucker.

Mehak – I heard and I am dissapointed. But glad that he is atleast behind bars finally.

Now getting on to the other point, the reason behind me calling it a woman’s victory is simply because no many are strong enough to fight against the prejudice society and system of our country. Be it a rape case, domestic violence, workplace harassment or murder – barely do we find women coming in the open and standing up against the wrong-ones.

Not saying that it’s easy for the opposite gender but there is no denying that it’s far more worse for women.

Sabrina Lall is a role model for all Indian women and hopefully her battle will inspire many to come forward and take stand….

And the part where you talk about the media involvement, I agree it’s sad to see that we reached a positive verdict only after the immense attention given by MSM but as they say “Something is Better than Nothing”.

Congrats on making it to the Mumbai Mirror blog section!

Btw, while I understand that the Jessica Lal case has finally punished the guilty, I don’t see any pride in it..

For one, as you have put it, it is not a victory for the Indian woman. This was not a case against the Indian woman; rather simply a man with political clout flouting the law..it could have happened to a man as much as to a woman like Jessica..that was for the ‘woman’ part of why you were proud of.

And coming to the Indian part, it is a pity that only such a huge media scrutiny could finally put a full-stop to so many days of injustice..It happened to Jessica..but in all probability it will not happen if you or I were the victim…

If Ram Jethmalani goes to a bar or any public place and you shoot someone infront of him, making sure he has seen the spectacle, and yeah, before shooting the person you tell Mr. World’s-Biggest-Legal-Know-All that you want to shoot someone, i thing you can be assured friend, that the Personification Of Hope will fight and stand for you with a vigour thats proportional to the size of your wallet.

And the red turban guy… He stopped wearing the turban when he heard Ram knew about the story. Now, the problem is finding him. Do you have any idea how different turbaned guys look without their turbans?
