What do you think after the rape of Dr Shazia at Sui. Here is an excerpt from the `satribune.com`:-

``The despicable circus going on under the cover of judicial tribunal, TV interviews and so on is indicative of the entire top brass covering a monster without any qualms. Think, it is gang-rape not breaking a red light at a traffic intersection we are talking about. Are we asking the generals to undo the public relations disaster of Sui? That can`t happen.

But we can surely ask the defenders of our geographical and ideological borders to demonstrate, as a bare minimum, that when military officers commit dreadful crimes like gang-rape there are consequences. Sexual predators don’t go free at our officers’ mess is the least we as a nation are entitled to demand. That goal is easily achievable. This case will write history, affect the course of politics, shape the role of military and have a profound impact on the overall image of the military.``

Won`t you change the last sentence of Faiz`s poem as ``We who were raped in the unlit pathways``.

your anguish falls on deaf ears. people are too dumb and numb to respond such social evils; and have come to see at as one of the norms in that part of the world.

I read somewhere that the character and progress of a state is directly relevant to the treatment of women in that state.
