Atrocities take place on regular basis and nothing is learnt from them. There is no change in the attitude of the police, the politicians, the civil society and the potential victims. The latest shame of Delhi, the rape on the evening of Friday involving a serial rapist, has proved this point beyond doubt. We learn nothing and bemoan every time an atrocity occurs. Then it is life as usual. Late Justice Varma�s recommendations were followed only in their breach. The GPS system is as good as not there. Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh made a routine statement in parliament on Monday saying that the perception of the society has to change. The Magistrate Court in Delhi has ordered three-day police remand for Shiv Kumar Yadav who was accused of rape in 2011 also earlier. The DCP of northeast Delhi had given a good conduct certificate to the very same Yadav in August 2014. The rapist was even arrested in 2011. But the police officials were not aware of it. The Uber cab service has been suspended by the Delhi administration for not keeping up the safety norms. Travis Kalanick, the CEO of Uber, promised to bring justice to the victim, a hapless software employee who was returning home after a day�s work and was raped in the cab.
