school girls close their books
it happens every where. the last
time it was in alleppey kerala. it happens at regular intervals. the latest was
a month back.
three girls of a school in alleppey committed suicide. these girls decided just after living for 13 or 14 years on this earth to end the whole thing. they probably had enough.
police arrested three boys of the school. they have been charged with delivering the girls to the sex racket. scribes are out to know what filled their life and choked it. we readers will probably get the story on our breakfast table. neatly sliced and spiced to taste.
we will soon know how the boys talked of divine love. how the girls fell for it and agreed to try out everything in adolescent ecstasy. how the girls were shown the video clippings the next day and asked to report the day after and thereafter whenever they were called. how they were used and abused , sold and bought back and sold again , rented out on daily basis and then on hourly rates.
we may also be told how the girls realised that it was all over for them and took the final plunge.
but we may never know who the boys were reporting to. how the boys are recruited and retained. how big is the big boss and what his reach is. neither the police nor the scribes will get any where near the people who really controls it all.
business will go on as usual . may be with renewed vigour to recover the cost of managing the leak. and with better security system in place to rule out another leak with the result that we will hear less of such incidents in future.
but there are a few things which still haunt me . in spite of the sophistication i acquired , in spite of the practised ease with which i turn away from most of the issues.
1. ok. the girls were tricked into sex. but what made them think it is the end of the road . why didnt they think of confiding in their parents after the first incident . is it because parents are not with their kids any more. are we the parents to blame.
2. what made the boys deliver their colleagues to the sex racketeers. is it the money or the drugs or both. what can we do about it .
3. did our morality kill the girls. is our society to balme. do we make our girls believe that there is no life after an accident if it is of the sexual variety.
