"We want justice,” doctors chanted in Kolkata, waving handwritten signs that read, “No safety, no service!”

16 Aug 2024

Indian doctors have called for a nationwide shutdown of hospital services as public fury over the rape and murder of a trainee medic in the eastern city of Kolkata last week mounts.

The Indian Medical Association (IMA), the country’s largest grouping of medics with 400,000 members, said the 24-hour shutdown would be implemented on Saturday, affecting most hospital departments except for essential services.

The shutdown comes after thousands of people took to the streets in several cities to express their outrage at the rape and murder of a 31-year-old trainee doctor, whose brutalised body was found on August 9 at Kolkata’s state-run RG Kar Medical College and Hospital.

On Friday, large protests were held in various cities – including Kolkata, the capital of West Bengal state, Mumbai in the west and Hyderabad in southern India – demanding justice and better security at medical campuses and hospitals.

“We want justice,” doctors chanted in Kolkata, waving handwritten signs that read, “No safety, no service!”

Demonstrators held banners calling for accountability as they gathered near parliament in New Delhi.

“Doctors, especially women are vulnerable to violence because of the nature of the profession. It is for the authorities to provide for the safety of doctors inside hospitals and campuses,” the IMA said in a statement issued on Thursday on X.

Multiple medical unions in both government and private systems have backed the strike.

Doctors in government hospitals across several states on Monday had halted elective services “indefinitely” in protest.

Indian media have reported that the murdered doctor was found in the teaching hospital’s seminar hall, suggesting she had gone there for a brief rest during a long shift.

An autopsy confirmed sexual assault. Doctors say the circumstances of the rape point to the vulnerability of medics left without proper protection and facilities.

Though police have detained a man who worked at the hospital helping people navigate busy queues, state government officers have been accused of mishandling the case.

On Wednesday night, the hospital where the trainee doctor was killed was attacked. Police did not identify who was behind the rampage, but said they have arrested 19 people so far.

Little has changed

There were more than 31,000 reported rapes in India in 2022, the latest year for which data is available, according to the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB).

The gang rape and murder in 2012 of a young woman on a bus in Delhi, northern India, led to nationwide protests and outrage over the country’s failure to tackle sexual violence against women.

Since 2012, the government has brought in sweeping changes to the criminal justice system, including tougher sentences and the death penalty for repeat offenders.

Conviction rates for rape ranged between 27-28 percent from 2018-2022, according to NCRB data.

The definition of rape has also been widened to include non-penetrative acts and the age threshold for rape trials lowered so 16-year-olds can be tried as adults.

But campaigners say little has changed despite the tougher laws.

Criminal lawyer Rebecca M John, who has represented many rape victims, said some rapists still believe they can get away with their crimes.

“One of the factors would be the absence of fear of the law,” she said.

Many cases of crimes against women also go unreported because of the stigma surrounding sexual violence and a lack of faith in the police.

As much as Dorian loves Manon, she isn’t the one he takes out to authentic ethnic restaurants that open around their city.

Aelin is the person he picks, along with Chaol, Yrene and also Rowan. They’re more open to trying different foods and they don’t mind the spice.

Manon though? She’s too white for that like any spice might kill her because he face gets red and she just doesn’t handle spicy food at all. Worst yet, if something is too hot she can’t drink any milk to sooth away the heat so she just suffers and it’s all… not good for her.

Funnily enough, Manon and the girls frequent this one steakhouse where it’s just all kinds of meat and steak and they spend hours there because the food is actually really good so Manon isn’t averted to food because she’s not. She just doesn’t handle spice very good this is why she got her 12 friends because they’re as bad as she is (except for Sorrel, Edda, Lin and Ghislaine)

Read 'Train to Pakistan' a week ago and I don't know how to say this nicely but I was so excited for the book and was sorely disappointed reading it. The book has touched a sensitive issue of partition and my history self nerd would have loved to devour this topic. However the book failed to deliver in multiple aspects, the length of the book was quite short and it was unable to cover all the angles. There were glimpses where the words touched your soul and depicted the true horrors of partition- how it was just 'they are Muslims, they are Hindus'and that's all what mattered. The decision of partition might have taken place in Delhi but the repercussions of it went beyond the boundaries of state and time. It was a wayward slaughter, completely unplanned and unorganized, a big heap of bad judgement, simple mistakes and grave decisions. Forced evacuation on basis of religion that led to onslaught of feelings of revenge instead of sympthaty. People fled to a land they had no idea would be kind to them and in doing so multitudes died, raped, tortured, burned alive and drowned. The book shows glimpses of it everywhere but it's so scattered that the whole sense of it being pulled together between pages isn't there. The book however depicts the fact that impending death wasn't the only worry for people, there was so much more to life during the 1947 that screams horror and pain and communal anger. It covers a large aspect of people turning on each other and authorities failing to make any decision in fear of being killed for the same decisions. The book with the case of Juggat Singh is unable to cover the whole picture of partition and violence as it takes place, the ending is hollow with a cliffhanger for the reader to figure that the man is Juggat Singh. The identity of Iqbal whether it is Singh or Mohammed remains a mystery till the end and his talk of philosophical endings is much like him accepting his fate of death. Coming from a writer's perspective, perhaps the book wants to point out that the cliffhanger is just an equivalent reminder that anything could have happened with the people of Mano Majra and it is upto the readers to decide.

The line 'The fact is, both sides killed. Both shot and stabbed and speared and clubbed. Both tortured. Both raped.' Captures out the reality of the situation in right words.
