Where is our society headed?

Well exams still on & i'd thought i wouldnt blog till they get over but just couldnt hold back.
Havent posted anything substantial for over a month now. Well wanted to write abt a lot of things but its just that i culdnt get enough time
One thing tat really moved me was wen i saw d newspaper one morning and read abt a father having raped his daughter and was sentenced by d Supreme court to imprisonment for life. The Hon'ble Supreme Court in tat case had made very emotional remarks abt the incident and had expressed deep concern abt d way things stand today where a daughter cant even trust her father. The father had taken d defence tat he'd been falsely implicated in d case at d instance of his wife as there was some matrimonial dischord between the two and so his wife had persuaded his daughter to make this allegation but this defence was outrightly rejected and d court even rebuked d father for having come up wid such a defence. I was shocked, anguished, concerned..after reading all this but there was more to come Two days later it was in d paper tat the daughter had filed an affidavit in d court tat the charges against the father were infact false n wat her father had stated was true and i was again shocked, it seemed like making a mockery of the court proceedings d judges themselves must hv been very embarassed. I was really apalled after reading abt d whole incident, cant say whether the daughter was saying the truth at the first instance or was she stating d truth later but watever might hv been d case, it just felt so abominable............ Where is our society headed?

I'd read abt this too.. n i was shocked!i mean how low can u get!after such an incident, the judges will be doubly cautious next time.. so tht even whn it's really genuine, it'll be looked upon with suspicion!
