    It is shameful being an Indian, writing this, but the fact of matter is Delhi the capital city of India has also become the rape capital of India. A 23 yr old student was raped in a moving bus by 7 inhuman men & also battered for for an hour with iron rods & then thrown out to die. Shes struggling to live but being a brave soul is fighting for life. See this video for more details on the rape that happened https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pUdyFTX4Zyk

    Send in your views & protest sharing that or any document you come across & hope it awakens the Indian people to fight against this crime.

    I heard this in news and it was really so sad. They ruined her life and the innocent girl is struggling to live in the hospital, fighting against death. This has become very common recently in India, as I came to hear at least 5 to 6 rape cases in India during the last 10 months or so. :(

    Men?, aside from the bus driver those arrested are in the 20 and under range, one is a minor



    This article gives a clearer picture.



    I'm not denying the case on the bus in New delhi is horrid, but there is far worse shit going on in the poorer areas.


    Public opinion didnt seem to erupt until some cases with higher caste women in Urban areas. When 3/4 of rape cases are against children, the vast majority seemingly to girls from rural areas of lower caste. And the majority of perpetrators seem to be India boys raised with a sense of entitlement barely out of their teens.

    The caste system technically doesnt exist. although culturally it still does., and seemingly more than ever. Then on top of that you have something like 1 - 3 million Eunichs in the country, a practice and caste that continues

    I'm supposed to be culturally sensitive, why I dont know, name one other country in the world where this is happing at these rates and so severely ...that is not in the middle of a civil war. Name one

    This ^. I really agree with what Vanilla Gorilla has mentioned. Its only about time when we start reacting to such incidents. Rape cases have always been there (I am especially talking with reference to this part of the world) but they always went off un-noticed until something started happening in bigger cities such as Delhi.

    Agree with Vanilla, it gets sensationalized only when happens in a city or metro but 99% cases in rural areas goes unnoticed. It is a sad scenario & no matter how much people sympathize, more than the physical assault the mental scar that the victim goes through is irreparable. Concrete steps are required by the people in power (punishment & strengthening law & order). Also on a grassroots level, first thing required is educating the boys at young age about being sensitive & respectful to girls & women. Education starts from home & India surely needs it before claiming to be a developing economy. Country which cannot respect its woman will never progress.

    I agree with this 100%. ^
     
  7. Every single case of sexual abuse and rape has to be treated with equal severity by the judicial system. As has already been mentioned, the treatment of women and girls in rural India is nothing short of horrendous. The caste system is alive and well even though that is strongly denied by the government!

    The brave heart passed away at Singapore hospital in spite of her tremendous will to live & best of medical treatments. This shows the tremendous trauma she was in. But I hope her sacrifice does not go in vain & INDIA govt, police & especially the people wake up & bring the change to thwart every girl atrocity. This includes girl child abortion, rape, dowry harassment , caste discrimination etc. Going to Delhi to join the movement !

    Anger if channelised can transform into positive action. R.I.P brave heart once again.

    The fact that she had to be flown to another country for treatment is in itself depressing. There isnt a hospital of the same standard at home?

    Castration and death?

    I thought you where agruing for a more humane system?

    How about, instead of trying to come up with sick punishments, doing something about the horrifying caste system which, if not legally enforced, still obviously pins down a massive number of peope?

    Seriously, it's bad and all, but one rape and murder, and the whole world is up in arms about it.... I'm pretty sure that the same thing is currently happening a few places in india, and none of them will be reported.

    Humane system? Against such ghastly criminals who not only violated her body sexually but also battered her & left her to die....!! Any punishment shld set an example & be deterrent for anyone else to even think of doing something similar. India lacks in that & its time a n example is set.

    Yes caste system, corruption, dowry are all big issues but in general strict punishment shld be meted out to anyone violating a woman & her rights.

    You cannot teach good behavior by behaving badly, no matter who the target is.

    The example set should be one of compassion, even while they should be imprisoned to prevent further violence.

    The punishment should be the same for violating a man, woman, or transsexual, or that individual's rights. You don't seem to be in favor of breaking down the social (including gender) barriers that have created this system, you seem to want to entrench and play eye-for-an-eye games, not move forward.

    I think the authorities in India were more concerned about getting this poor lady out of the way where they would not be a total disruption had she been in a local Indian hospital.....it is such a sad and deplorable story.

    We are failing as parents!! Raising greedy, self-centered, lazy children.
     
  16. I knew that this poor woman was in a deplorable state after the attack but I was still not prepared for what was released in world news this morning. Her vital organs failed as the result of more than 100 injuries sustained. This attack by a group of individuals was nothing short of depraved frenzy. I like to think that I would be able to show compassion for the perpetrator as well as the victim but in this case ......not a fucking chance!

    would i be fearful if i knew the punishment of my crime was going to be to spend time in a posh jail cell with a tv and a gym and get 3 hots and a cot? or would i be fearful if i knew that if i got caught doing what i knew was wrong was going to result in "losing an eye"

    there is only one language some people know, and we are better off as a community and as a society without these people.

    The gruesome truth is the gang rape cowards did not insert a iron rod inside her V*****..... They removed her uterus with their hand. And one guy did it just because she slapped him when he was raping her. Strict laws are not in place in the Indian Judiciary System and that's a big problem and every guys knows that law is going to do nothing if he is going to rape a girl.

    I felt that she has already suffered lots of pain in her last two weeks and its good that she died. Even if she survived she could not have lead a normal married life.

    Hope she would be in heaven. RIP.

    I agree punishement for rape must be swift and severe but the root problems of rape are inbedded in the culture and will need just as much help. Even in developed modern countries men and boys disrespect and abuse women. If not taught, by example, by their parents, how do they boys changed?
    Also, what gorrilla said, was 'caste' a variable in this attack.
