The voice of justice comes out only on the basis of the caste, community and gender of the victim in the incident. The incident of Rinku Sada and Prakriti Lamsal is the latest example of this.

Who will speak in whose case, who will not speak? How much justice will be given to whom? Who will be punished how much? Another form of discrimination has arisen on this issue. Taking account of everyone, from civil society to human rights activists, women's rights activists, various political parties, their fraternal organizations and the government stood on the same line, but why is Rinku silent in favor of Sada? Rinku Sada has no right to live in this society?
In Nepal, while the case of rape and death of Rinku Sada is going around like a panchayat, the news of Prakriti Lamsal's suicide in India has gone viral on social media. After that, another form of discrimination emerged. From the leaders of the society to the parties, rights activists, government leaders, how sensitive they are to the incident has become a history. From the street to the house, the seriousness, interest and intention towards the incident has been made clear to everyone.
judicial voice based on caste !
On the other hand, human rights activists, civil society, parties and the state themselves seem helpless to establish the rights of oppressed communities. Moreover, it is not within the scope of any party or state to talk about their death. As a result of that, the main reason for the difference between Rinku Sada and Prakriti Lamsal. In the
incident, which caste, community and gender person has become a victim . Only by manipulating it, the voice of justice comes out. The scene after the incident shows that. Let's analyze the incident for a moment, how strong and easy it is for the community to get justice with the dead body.
17-year-old Rinku Sada of Navrajpur rural municipality-1 Bhagwatipur of Siraha was gang-raped on January 27th at 9 pm while going to the toilet. Then, in order to prevent the incident from reaching the police office, the Panchayat sat on the 29th and 30th and started to deal with the incident in the village. On the contrary, instead of giving justice to the victim, he tried to escape by paying a fine of one and a half lakh to the perpetrator.
Rinku, who told the Panchayat meeting that she had been gang-raped, was finally found hanging in her house on 30th of January, suspiciously dead. After his death only the complaint The police office reaches Lahan. But the Lahan police office does not file a complaint on time . At that time, the rapist gets a great opportunity to escape. Even till today, all the accused of the incident have not been caught.
In this way, there is no one to speak even if the incident does not find a way to justice. Various political parties, their fraternal organizations, rights activists, the state is silent. After 21 days, the civil society issued a press release for Lajkaj Rinku's justice. During the Terai Madhesh Campaign, Maoist Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal visited Rinku's family to express his condolences. No one else can be seen except for those Dalit community people who are protesting on the streets.
While Rinku's incident did not get a judicial solution, Prakriti Lamsal's incident heated up the social media . On February 4, a Nepali student studying at the Kalinga Institute of Industrial Technology (KIIT) University in Bhubaneswar, Odisha State, India, was found dead in a suspicious manner in the dormitory of Prakriti University. Immediately after the incident, there was a voice in Nepal from the streets to the houses about the death of nature.
The day after the incident, fraternal organizations of different parties stood together and protested for the justice of nature. Similarly, women officials also condemned the incident. Not only that, the National Human Rights Commission also raised serious objections to the incident and drew the attention of the Indian government. Due to pressure from all sides, the Odisha government formed a high-level committee to investigate the incident at KIIT. Fired 2 security guards and suspended 3 employees . It is called
, "The flour of speaking is sold, the rice of not speaking is not sold." This does not mean that it is wrong to speak of phenomena of nature. What seems wrong here is that the discriminatory behavior of stakeholders in the case of two daughters of the same country is narrow and shameful. In the same way, if we look at the sequence of events, the incident of Rinku's rape seems to be more serious than natural. However, one voice of justice was raised from the street to the house against the phenomenon of nature. And in the case of Rinku of a more serious nature, the house was deserted from the street. This is yet another culmination of discrimination. So that the voice of those who speak for justice shows racist thinking . The consciousness of those who talk about justice has not risen above the gender racist mentality.
After all, if any Lamsal, Dahal, Oli, Deuba, Nepal, Chand were attached behind Rinku's name, those people who speak for the justice of nature would definitely speak for Rinku's justice. The fraternal organizations of different parties used to heat the streets . Even in the House, those same parties raised strong voice for justice.
The brutality of the rape incident
In section 219 of the Civil Code, 2074, severe punishment has been provided for rape convicts. But despite the law, looking at the statistics of rape is very scary. According to the data of the Nepal Police, when studying the number of rapes in the last 8 years, 2073/74 to Police records show that 16,960 people were raped across the country till 2080/81. In which it seems that 5 thousand 105 people were raped during this period.
Likewise, In 2073/74, there is a record that 1 thousand 131 people were raped and 536 people were raped. In 2074/75, 1,480 rapes and 727 attempted rapes took place. In 2075/76, there were 2 thousand 292 rapes and 786 attempted rapes, while in 2076/77 there were 2 thousand 181 rapes and 687 attempted rapes. In 2077/78, there were 2,609 rapes and 736 attempted rapes, 2,380 rapes and 655 attempted rapes in 078/79,
2,387 rapes and 518 attempted rapes in 079/80. Likewise, In 2080/81, 2,507 rapes and 460 attempted rapes have been registered with the police.
Dalit women and girls are the most victims of violence. According to the police, the total number of Dalit women victims of violence is 11.54 percent. The number of Dalit girl victims of violence is 19.44 percent. 11.34 percent of the cases recorded in the National Commission for Women are related to Dalit women. According to some records of Nepal, the number of Dalit women among the victims of violence is 27 percent.
In the year 2075 Baisakh, in a program held at the Union House in Anamnagar, Kathmandu, Jagran Media Center released data on rape. According to which, a total of 792 cases of rape were analyzed. In that, it was mentioned that 34 percent of women belonging to the tribal community became victims of rape in the highest number. Similarly, based on the number of victims, 19 percent of Dalit women and girls have been shown at the second place. In which the number of victims of Kshatriya community was 18 percent and Bahun community was 9 percent. Similarly, it has been shown that 6 percent of Madhesi and 4 percent of Muslim women and girls are victims of rape. It can be understood from this - women and girls from the most marginalized communities in the society have been victims of rape. To be a
, it is said that a new chapter has begun after the new arrangement. But in practice, not a single page of change has been turned. So even today it is customary to manipulate caste and speak for justice. It is not fair for the government formed to guarantee justice and the various rights activists, parties and their organizations who are walking on the same path to treat two citizens of the same country differently. In fact, the voice of those who speak for justice should rise in one voice against all injustice, oppression, oppression and discrimination. Injustice is injustice. A wound is a wound . The pain is the same. The pain is the same. But the mentality of calling a certain caste more and another less is wrong.
In cases of heinous crimes like rape, not talking about the relevant stakeholders is protecting the rapist . Making rape a matter of honor and prestige of society and family is another crime against this woman . Instead of giving justice to the victims, the practice of fear, intimidation and threats continues even today. Putting political pressure on the victim's family and protecting the perpetrator is a big political crime. If the police office does not register the complaint of the victim in time, it is giving relief to the perpetrator. In the future, the judicial voice should be in favor of all victims. All things must be seen from the eyes of justice. The judicial voice that reverberates from the streets to the House must become one tune for all. In the state of law, the persistence of 'Panchayat' in the case of rape is not the 'thumbs up' of the state in injustice, oppression and discrimination!
