SHIRONAAM
SYNOPSIS
The word "rape" has seen increased familiarity in recent times. It has become an everyday event. This social disease has spread like wildfire over our state and country.
It has become a dominant part of news, print and television. It has become a part of our daily discussions. Social workers spread awareness, intellectuals stage protest marches and meetings, candles burn and the air rings out in screams. "Strictest punishment for rapists!" From the capital to the little cities, it shakes everyone up.
And then? Nothing. Culprits escape through loopholes in our legal system.
And there is rape. Again. And again. And AGAIN! 5 year olds, 7 year olds, 10, 14, 30, 40, 60, even 70 year old women fall prey to rapists.
What is the solution? Strict measures? What measures?
We stage "Shironaam" in search of an answer.
