Masks Of Hypocrisy Poem by Aniruddha Pathak

To feign rather than face the fat cat,
To help hide unholy hind carpet,
And to choose the easy
Masking hypocrisy—
Why we shy away from personal debt.

A disturbing documentary was made on the mindset of rapists.
This case had drawn a country-wide attention. A lot was said, but little was done. Sure, the defence lawyers and family members remain belligerent and unrepentant. But in a knee-jerk response government banned it, as it is always wont to do. Some politicians and police made irresponsible statements. Yes, democracy lets all opinions a space. But things can't be swept under carpet for all the time. A line has to be drawn. Don't we owe the victims a debt?
