Nirbhaya's parents seek time-bound justice

It has been seven years to that fateful day when their daughter - who came to be known as 'Nirbhaya' - was brutally gangraped and thrown off a bus, but her parents still await justice.

The tag of rape capital became all the more pronounced after the Nirbhaya incident but her parents say it is a pan-India problem and cannot bring themselves to hate the national capital, which snatched their child.

"Delhi snatched everything away. But we cannot hate Delhi since our state Uttar Pradesh has also been seeing such incidents.There is no place in the world where we can go where such incidents do not happen. You cannot hate the entire world," says Nirbhaya's mother.

But they hope and pray that things improve for the better.

In the last few days, they have seen a bit of hope, with reports saying thefour accused in the case might be hanged soon.

As Nirbhaya's mother puts it, "We are hopeful. We have been waiting for it. It is not easy till the time we get their death warrant and the date."
"I have believed in karma for the last seven years. I have the support of God.But I didn't lose faith in him. Of course there are questions like 'Why did we have to face this? '"
Do they agree with such a thing?
