Justice for Ruchika

It is heartening to see that Ruchika Girhotra may finally get justice, thanks to the media publicity and public outrage following the ridiculous sentence that her molester (and eventually killer?) received. If you think of the crime, he molested his own daughter's classmate. Someone *exactly* the same age as his own daughter. What kind of a sick mind does that? What was he thinking?

While I am happy that Ruchika may finally get justice, what disheartens me is the fact that I do not think justice for her will serve to protect young girls. India is a land where it is far to easy to abuse power and get away with murder.
