_*NO PROTEST MEANS CRIME TOLERATED
JUSTICE DELAYED MEANS JUSTICE DENIED*_
Today I Kritee Adhikary a doctor in the making , 3rd year MBBS , DHGMCH, West Bengal, India and a responsible citizen of country, want to share the saga of my survival and protest against the torture of my own full blooded maternal grandparents Mr Anil Kumar Chakraborty and Mrs Krishna Chakraborty.
Are our full blooded male guardian or relative safe for any girl child? The answer is a big 'NO' . Perverted nature of humans have reached its peak unfortunately, that the full blooded father or grandfather doesn't even spare their own daughter or granddaughter. It's the battle to fight for every single woman and girl child , who have been sexually assaulted since their very childhood unfortunately by their very own full blooded father or grandfather . Has they the right to ruin the childhood of any girl child ? Is this the fault of the girl child that she is a woman? Unfortunately , though I Kritee Adhikary am an MBBS student, and belong to a literate family , I have been raped on chronic basis for 8 years by my full blooded maternal grandfather Mr Anil Kumar Chakraborty since my teen age . My grandfather was a retired Head estimator in West Bengal Irrigation department and my grandmother Mrs Krishna Chakraborty was also well educated and worked in WBSEDCL . My grandparents have exploited the trust, respect and obedience of my parents to them . They tortured me and always hid it by explaining it as " for the betterment of their granddaughter " . I have not been spared before any of my exams or my high grade fever . Whenever my grandparents could isolate me, they have verbally and sexually abused me and my grandmother didn't protect me against the beast like nature of my grandfather. Whenever I sought some courage to revolt , my grandparents made a chaos and made my parents ask for apologies to them without any reason . Not only that , my younger brother used to sleep beside me, with my grandmother present in the same bed. Taking the advantage of the darkness, my grandfather raped me every single day he got the chance and muted my cries by stuffing his hanky into my mouth and whenever he couldn't control me and overcome my resistance, he used to hurt the innocent child , my younger brother very badly . Whenever I raised voice against my grandfather, my grandmother used to emotionally blackmail me , blaming me as the reason of all of my grandfather's sadness and always threatened that my grandfather would leave us , if we don't tolerate his torture . I have been diagnosed with inflammatory bowel disease and lost control over passing stool and urine due to ruthless anal penetration. Even a prostitute gets sick leave and daily wages . What I earned was hyperthyroidism , IBD, depression and numerous health problems making me handicapped within 21 years of age .Unfortunately even my mother was not spared in childhood by him . She was regularly made to sleep by giving antiallergics causing drowsiness. Whenever she asked her parents about the pain in her private parts , she was made to believe that it was due to her continued sneezing due to allergy .She realised it only when her daughter shared the incident of heinous crime committed against her by her grandfather. When we raised our voice against him who was named as the "head of the family" only as a way to show respect , though not being dependent on them by any means , not even financial , we were cornered by the other relatives and no one keeps contact with us and boldly accepted the rapist as if nothing has happened. As such , after being treated as an offender by our own family and have been forced to keep mum until now , at last , we gathered up courage to seek justice from the honorable Indian judiciary. Ironically , the defense counsel is trying to nullify such a serious allegation on the accused by addressing it as a “fabricated case” . The investigation is carried on in such a reckless manner that , judicial statement of my mother is not been recorded and my grandmother is even on bail without being enquired sufficiently. My grandfather is one of the most cold blooded criminal who is dangerous for the whole womanhood as many other cold blooded criminal will be inspired to commit the same crime without any guilt and roam about cherishing their victory, if he is not convicted .Being a doctor in the making, it is my responsibility to protest against any kind of anti social action. If this is the plight of a daughter of a literate family, then what is going to be the condition of girl child born in a poor family .Please help for the sake of every girl child who come to the OPD of hospitals after getting pregnant by their own male relatives but are made to keep quiet by their own family, in the fear of stigmatization the reputation of their family.Is,trusting the father or grandfather a huge crime ? Does , being a guardian gives them right to use us as a property? I earnestly request you all to not to keep quiet even if it is your own close relative . PLEASE RAISE VOICE AGAINST IT , NO MATTER WHO THEY ARE . Please help to fight with the tyranny of Patriarchal society and break the shackles of suppression which we women are made to wear since our birth . I want every single person to protest against sexual assault, even if it is done by their own closest relative like their own father or grandfather. The first change we want to see in the world always starts with us, and I have taken the first step of protest by lodging the case . Please help me to raise a voice of protest against intra familial sexual abuse .
I have been doing a signature campaign already in my immediate community , in my college but I want it to spread this protest far and wide . 25th April 2023 is the next hearing date , when most probably charges are going to be framed finally . I request everyone to support us for speedy conviction of this cold blooded criminal. I HAVE THREE MESSAGES FOR EVERYONE:- 1) I want , everyone to know that , it is never late to file a case in the judiciary and everyone should seek for justice whenever they gather courage to revolt, even if the criminal is their own family member .
2) If we don't speak up against the crime , they will keep on torturing us . We should always remember that "The most precious person for you is , YOURSELF " . So for saving yourself, we should pin point the criminal before he becomes life threatening .
3) It is the gross failure of society, that the rape survivor has to hide her identity and not the rapist . It is always said to the survivor, that "He/She had not been cautious, so they were victimized " and ironically the rapist is never asked by the society that "Why did they commit such a crime ? " Though this Thought Process is totally stereotypical, but we , the survivors should wear our scars bravely , because nobody is as strong as to survive even after going through such a pain and we are not at fault for the unfortunate incident which happened to us .
So we should lead the rest of our lives striving towards justice, breaking through all boundaries with "Feet in the ground and Eyes looking up to sky " .
Please sign the petition and share this as far and wide as possible
