A Silent Prayer

Sometimes, a tragedy hits you so hard, it knocks you back, leaving you out of breath, helpless flailing. This was somebody else's daughter. She could have been your sister or even mine….The outraged caused by the Delhi gang rape has manifested itself in the form of protests and rallies, as eve-teasing is rampant in our state capital too.

A Prayer Service cum Candle Light March was holded by Students' Oxygen Movement on the Doomsday, 21st Dec, 2012 in S.K Puri, Childrens' Park Patna for the speedy recovery of the Delhi Paramedical Student as well as for bringing about a much needed CHANGE in our system; in our society…so that we can become more HUMAN.

This Prayer Service Meet was attended by many school and college students; primarily from Missionary, Private as well as government run institutions. Noted educationists, teachers, principals, guardians and above all the common people as well joined this marathon service. The students were displaying placards which read “HUM TUMHARI SALAMATI KE LIYE PRARTHANA KERTE HAIN”. Everybody present there was joining in singing the prayer songs and hymns notably “ITNI SHAKTI HAME DENA DATA”. 

The atmosphere over there was raged with intense emotions, anguish and outburst among the people. Everybody was condemning the heinous activities that have been meted out against the “GIRLS” since times immemorial till this present moment. The highlight of this gathering was when everybody marched out on the road  and on the top of their voices once again raised their uproar and concern by proclaiming.. “WE WANT JUSTICE…HANG THE CULPRITS…JUSTICE DELAYED IS JUSTICE DENIED” and so on.

This historic meet was ended on the note that “This is not the end, this is just the BEGINNING. Its high time to bring about a drastic and much-needed change and for that WE need to be the CHANGE.”
