A five-year-old girl was raped and murdered in my City. It was a brutal and highly despicable crime. But the irony is that the first question asked after the crime is that who did it?
And that was just to ascertain the religion of the person. Mercifully, most of the rapes of minors in the last year in this City saw Hindu assailants and Hindu victims. Had it been a Muslim accused in even a single case, there might have been a communal riot.
What has happened to our sensibilities? If a Muslim is found indulging in eve teasing it leads to a riot-like situation but when a Hindu brutally rapes a girl, it is regretted that he was a deranged man and a threat to society but nothing more than that.
Similarly, if a Muslim girl is raped by a Hindu, it leads to communal tension. Unfortunately the magnitude of the crime, the trauma of the victim and the other aspects of crime are forgotten. What is thought about is just religion.
Can anything be more unfortunate for a society in this age and era?

Jet broadcast mayday 2 seconds before crash
The last man conscious in the cockpit of a doomed Cypriot airliner made a desperate call for help - "Mayday! Mayday!" - two seconds before the plane carrying 121 people smashed into a mountain near Athens.
