There are many things in our country that discourage poor people from raising their voice against the blatant injustice they face every day. The system has made inequality so smooth that it looks quite normal to the citizens of India. Those who somehow gather the courage to stand up against this structural violence against them, are often subjected to further misery.
This is what probably has happened with the Unnao rape victim in Uttar Pradesh, who decided to take on the high and mighty in the Yogi Adityanath ruled state. She was allegedly raped by BJP MLA Kuldeep Sengar. But her misery did not end there. Since the victim decided to seek justice she has been losing family members.
The latest attack could have taken her own life. She’s currently battling the injuries she sustained in what is said to be a collision between a truck and a car in which she was travelling.
