Bravery award for Delhi gangrape victim? Do you agree?

GN Bureau | December 29, 2012



This is what Subhash Agrawal, one of our readers, has written in:

Brave young girl resisted tooth and nail against being gangraped which also resulted in her being mercilessly beaten to death. The brave girl also exhibited unmatched courage to fight for life and recording her statement not once but twice towards the heinous crime of rapists. Union government should honour the girl posthumously with Ashok Chakra, country’s highest civilian award for bravery.
 
Union government has been allowing samadhis for former Presidents and Prime Ministers in New Delhi despite a cabinet-note of the year 2000 against such samadhis. Union government should allow cremation of the brave girl at some prominent place in Delhi/New Delhi which may later be converted as memorial of brave girl.

Do you agree with this?
