Has anything changed after the Delhi Gang rape Conviction?

Change is a big word. Some like it while some hate it. What remains persistent is that change happens, sometimes for good and sometimes for bad.  We as the public of a democratic India should use our veto rights to voice our opinions in favor of some positive evolutions in our country. Indeed only if we don't just not leave the word "change"  defined in the dictionary. We are the tax payers, we are the receivers of knowledge, we are the people or to be more apt we are the democracy of this country India. Then a country which is so liberal, modern and on the path of development suffers consequences like rape , female abuse sexual and physical and such a constant terror to their security. It's not the government, it's the democracy which has failed.
The recent case of Nirbhaya has set an example that justice is not a vague term in our country, it does happen sometimes. Well, honestly if the rapist would have been some famous politician or businessman son then I guess the situation would have completely different. There are laws for some deaf ears to follow in our country. We are those weak pillars who are ready to fall but not ready to change. So after conviction if we claim that we have changed then I guess we are going the wrong way.  We are same, we have just taken a step towards a good change. Being the democracy we should not just silently protest but take leaps, major one. A building which stands on weak bricks will fall terribly in calamity. Same is our country India. We have strong laws but they are not stringent. We are liberal, yes we are. We let the murderers open in the crowd, we do not arrest them. We pay taxes for the survival of a terrorist and do not even question. We do vote for losers and then sit on Sunday and criticize. This is WE, the power of which is diminished. If a girl is lying naked on the roads of a capital metro like Delhi without being attended then it's a fail of humanity. On what rights we are going and pointing fingers at each other when we ourselves are at fault. I just want people to understand that if we don't take things seriously then we are inviting threats to ourselves. The rapist have raped, enjoyed, killed. The protest have definitely made the government act and the culprits are punished , but this justice is temporary. What we need should last forever. We need a change. A change in our own perception. A change in the outlook towards people. Not only men , but a women should also change her perceptions about herself. She is not someone to be taken granted for. She is not the one to be dominated. She is neither someone to be taken care of, cause she is strong enough to stand alone and fight. That is a women power, much more and greater than men. Not sounding feminist, the males should also learn to respect women not just by words but by action. To make this happen a face book page and status won't help. A universal education of sex will. Not again by mere fakeness but in real. The men should also know that certain outrageous acts will not give them recognition but only destroy their identity. Their ego and anger should not encouraged by women instead be suppressed . A man and a woman are equal , no one is greater than each other. If this equation survives, humanity will survive, Democracy will breathe and women will live a new lease of life with security.
We, are the people who criticize media and government while we are the same people who choose them  I know there are many who are thinking, who am I to say such big things? but definitely I am someone big, I am someone who runs this country, I am that one person who votes for our representatives, I am a common man and I am the most powerful in this democratic country so I exercise my rights. What about you ???
