Why this treatment (which they undeniably deserve) is not meted out to numerous victims of rapes which go unnoticed into the trash in form of morning papers, tea-time discussions and mere facebook statuses? Just because this society (which i believe plays a major role in becoming what it has become in modern time) can't re-play the drama again and again to say 'enough is enough'. This death sentence raises a very valid question on the operations of our judiciary. Was the death sentence rewarded just to satisfy the conscience of all those people of who protested day and night for one whole week demanding appropriate action? Or to put in straight words, i think this decision has been taken in wake of mounting pressure from society and other rape victims will not be given justice which they deserve in equal measure like any other citizen of India.
The judiciary must not act in order to satisfy the collective conscience of a society, but to reach out to those unfortunate victims of such heinous acts for whom the word judiciary is just another unrealistic utopia. Nevertheless a step in right direction has been taken; hope it'll give a glimpse of light to those who are fighting for it in dark for ages. In my opinion, those who think it'll deter the culprits from doing it again can't be more wrong.
