My soul is a broken field, ploughed by pain.
Sara Teasdale, poet (1884-1933)
Life imprisonment, death sentence, castration - either surgical or chemical as punishments for rapists are hardly adequate as a deterrent for Delhi males to commit future atrocities.
Inflicting unrelenting and severe physical pain on these misogynists is the answer, I feel. I may sound callous, brutal and primitive, but here is my proposition.
To be really effective, this should be broadcast in real time on YouTube.
This is a common kitchen tool also available in wood. Each of the half a dozen of those rapists and molesters should be given one of these. While they cower in a fetid dungeon, they should be goaded into taking the testicle of their erstwhile partners-in-crime in the receptacle and crush the offending gonad. That's it, no more human interference is required; we'll let Nature take its course.
The agonizing pain during the testicle crushing process is just the beginning of the ordeal. A dull throbbing ache replaces the shooting pain, as suppuration sets in. The stink from the putrefying wound will attract flies. Soon the fountainhead of their virility will tun onto a seething mass of maggots. One of the following scenarios may ensue.
The infection spreads to the blood stream and the former tormenter goes into septicaemic shock and dies while his soul burns in eternal hellfire.
Gangrene and rot set in and the accursed dies, enveloped in a mefitic miasma.
Another development for these abhorrent creatures could be the onset of spasms due to tetanus with the spine snapping like the mythical bow.
If this testicle crushing method is not acceptable, then why not let a rabid dog bite the culprits and ensuring a miserable and agonizing death for them?
As a palliative care physician I am only too aware that the worst physical pain is neuropathic pain which results from nerve damage, either to cancer or herpes zoster. Going against all ethics and tenets of the Hippocratic Oath, I submit the option of damaging the peripheral nerves of all four limbs of the degenerate brutes. The agony of that exquisite, excruciating and eternal pain should be broadcast on YouTube, thus ensuring that Delhi males will keep their roving eyes and libido in control.
Or else flog them. Barbaric methods need to be adopted for these barbarians.
Whatever option is chosen, justice should be done promptly and punishment meted out in full public view. We may be emulating tyrannical governments or reverting to primitive times, but is there any other option left? Bleeding heart liberals and 'human right activists' will be aghast - but I ask them what about the basic human right of that girl to live a life of dignity?
