There are no Munna bhais,the Indian Robin Hoods in the country,only in films.All Indians are afraid of the courts,summons,and police questionings,so refrain from involvement,thinking it to be of police,and admins duty.Even in the Delhi culture ,the people fight for payments for smallest damages on roadside minor accidents,and settlements on the spot itself,and the onlookers are there for mere entertainment!!The whole society sucks!Its like ,nobody loves you in the country,you watch for your own self and have your own team of relatives and friends ready for the rescue act,whenever you land up in any trouble,be it hospital,govt.office,police or any where.Do you know of someone please any connections!??
I am an Indian by the strength of my Passport. But I hate to say, India is going from bad to worse as far as security of women is concerned. The problem lies in the mentality of the old generation that deem a daughter to be a liability from day 1. Women are therefore suppressed at every stage of their life.
- why should they have to leave their parents house and go to the house of the Husband ??
- why should the parents of the husband be taken care of while the parents of daughter be left alone ??
- why should parents of daughter have to pay dowry and also give away their daughter ??
- why should the parents of the daughter have the onus of a lavish marriage ??
- why should the wife have to fast for the husband's long life ??
all these are simply steps to oppress Indian women and make the men feel themselves to be of higher status. this translates into men taking the women for granted and sexually exploiting them at every stage of life...
if men think that their balls make them the stronger sex, then I beg to differ as we all know that these are the men who fall for women
Pradeep Kumar
An Indian Male who is sorry to see the state of women in India.
You are as outdated as your views.
I totally agree ! We will never have perfection but we have to deal with this horrid generational and cultural issue if India is to be a truly modern democracy .
My view is that women should be independent and not deemed to be a weaker sex....
How does that make me outdated.... don't you want the same ??
Outdated? Are you dumb? That is progressive you idiot.
While Jefferson stressed certain values and education as key components of a stable society, Adams emphasized laws and their proper enforcement. You can find elements common to the belief systems of both American presidents in this relevant discussion.
If I had to choose, I would side with Adams. Female judges together with female police commissioners may not be saints, but they likely can perform miracles while dealing with troglodytes.
You mean troglodytes like Jefferson who owned hundreds of slaves and used enslaved negro-women satisfy his lust? Not to mention making slave children work in his factories making nails! I am always wonder struck by the white people of America who cannot see Jefferson for what he was and insist on lionizing him!
I mentioned today's troglodytes. Besides, in discussing ideas, I agree with those sponsored by John Adams: Adopt good laws, enforce them and, within certain limits, behavior will change. Behavior in this case must change. Now. We are not referring to violence, institutionalized or not, that happened some decades, or centuries, ago. Women are being tortured and murdered now. No excuses, please.
True - 86,000 rapes per year in the USA is nothing to sneeze at. There is indeed a crisis here. We should tackle this problem on a war footing and should not rest until all women are safe in the USA.
Guys I live among the modern society of India and as for my observation, let be the protest against corruption or protest against rape or any other such protests. people don't really care for it.
These protests start right when the media starts exaggerating the issues, a mass gets collected to support the movement and then after a few days irrespective of the result, they just leave it behind and get back to work and wait till another sensational issue is broadcasted.
In fact there were several other rapes happening around the country but none of them saw any protests or media focus. These people are demanding not a general law rather they want the preparators of that particular incident to be hanged. That shows it, its not a social concern, its just a showoff.
From what I have understood, the young Indian population have fallen into a habit of expressing artificial concern. Reason, they think that the their friends respect them more by doing it.
Best example is the protest against corruption. The first protest to bring Lokpal saw millions of people supporting Anna Hazare, later they got bored and that was quite evident as there was no gathering of people for the second protest in Mumbai. worse, nobody even talks about it anymore.
I only wish that people fight for change with a genuine social intention to actually fight for it. Otherwise, none of this is going to workout.
You take quite a superficial and a bit paternalistic view of youth - my impression is that the new generation is much more informed and socially savvy than my generation was. Indians grow up under a heavily disciplined education system. Hence in expressing their disappointment, they are not going as far as protesters in Middle East. And we should be glad they are'nt.
As the protests are spontaneous, it is only natural that they die down after some time. The anti-corruption protests were exceptionally peaceful, the anti-rape protests not so much. The theme that runs through both is large turnouts, and demands for higher accountability from elected governments.
Should the lethargic and colonial governance systems continue, protests may well turn violent as in many of our neighboring countries. If you recall, in 70's and 80's, India experienced 3 violent local movements - Punjab (demand for more autonomy cascading into separatism) Assam (demand for more autonomy) and West Bengal (demand for better justice cascading into violent parallel governments).
Punjab and WB movements were brutally repressed, the Assam protests were resolved better and authority yielded to leaders of the movement. For me, the takeaway is simple - newer and better approaches to governance have to be found and quickly
sorry but I'm not being pessimistic, I'm being practical.
I live with these people all that I have seen is that my classmates join protests only so that they can bunk classes the same thing happened with the anti corruption protest.
I haven't seen commitment in it. Even in a small rally to save environment, I have seen the people in the rally themselves throw food packets and chewing gum on the street. Now how does that help.
The same youth that protested against corruption, bribe the government authorities to obtain their driving licences, passport etc. The same youth who protest against political influence, use it to secure seats in top colleges and jobs in good companies. The same youth pay bribe to the traffic police. Is that the change you saw in them?
The same media which show so much concern to all these issues are engaged in corruption by publishing paid news.
I'll ask you a simple question. Should a social movement start because of emotion of the masses and the version dictated by the money hungry media, or should it start with an idea for the betterment of the nation?
Because I don't see an idea here.
India's tourist board would have you believe this is a land of palaces, yoga ,peace, democracy ,vegetarians .I am indian and I can tell posters that i grew up in a family where women were treated as sub humans , its a highly misogynistic society and the education to teach boys and men starts in the home . The Bollywood films with the macho men with fat mustachios ,always get the woman in the end , its a very repressed society . Its awful that a evil act and a life lost in the most painful manner has to yield some meaningful change . So India lets see how you are really the international reputation is going to be tested this year .
Victims were well educated (medical student, software engineer).
Instead of dialing 100 (police) with their cell phones, they picked up a fight with 6 drunk/frustrated/uncivilized savages.
Looks like victims were under the influence of fighting scenes in Bollywood movies.
My condolence to victim's family.
I think you should rot in hell.
@Communal Award: Seriously what is wrong with you!
As if those uncivilized/frustrated/@#@#@#@ savages would have let them merrily dial police and then waited for the police to arrive!!
You're clearly an idiot and a troll.
You think Berlusconi is 'cool' and dare to cast aspersions on Indians?! Speaks volumes for your hypocrisy! Either you don't know Silvio Berlusconi's perverted sex offences (which means you are incredibly ignorant) or you know of it and think it is cool (which means you deserve to be put in the same docket as these Delhi rapists). Berlusconi has committed everything from child rape to 'bunga-bunga' parties with other select animals like Gaddafi! Way to go 'Cool Berlusconi!' And in case you are hurrying to search for another man named Berlusconi who was not a pervert like Silvio, and claim that is who you had in mind, save yourself the trouble. No one will believe you.
I think you should rot in hell.
Do you know this bus traveled past 6 police check posts during this incident?
You're clearly an idiot and a troll.
What an earth are you talking about "Looks like victims were under the influence of fighting scenes in Bollywood movies" you are a accomplice in this matter of misogynistic society .
What an earth are you talking about "Looks like victims were under the influence of fighting scenes in Bollywood movies" you are a accomplice in this matter of misogynistic society .
Are you naturally inclined towards crime, or just have a soft corner for rapists? Either way,your comments are quite flippant for such a sensitive topic
What a idiot you are guest-ljoaaao.The economist handle is what ever name I wish it to be montythephyton or busghthegreat or nukesaregood or tomthejerrymeetsmango ...but the message after the handle is juicy and loaded with sharp content ..I am not italian but Indian and you are a fool( they exist dead or alive) .India needs to WIPE out macho misogistic behavior in boys and men and stop plying the media with tourist ad's that are peaceful ..it is a ugly nasty corrupt country that treats its girls and women with ZERO respect fix this before you allow India to be attached with the same kind of stigma that Pakistan or Afghanistan has with honor killings .
My response to rapists is:
"Pour petrol on rapists/their parents/their children/their supporters/their houses/their properties and burn them alive."
Check victim's friend anguish about Indian society.
While your comments hit hard, I have to sadly agree. India ranks 145th among a 187 country survey for crimes against women - lower than Iraq, Saudi and China.
Indians are quite hypocritical. Local governments ban women from using mobiles, a state bans women wearing skirts, right-wing groups beat women in bars yet noone is ever punished for assault or dmage of property.
Instead, indian police act as government bully-boys or chastize "the immoral" - spending considerable efforts in insulting couples seen in parks, nabbing prostitutes, arresting facebook commenters and breaking up parties at farmhouses. Of course, core policing does'nt happen- tracking criminals and solving crime cases.
If comments by politicians are to go by, they would like women "remaining in their limits". Sounds a lot like Taliban to me.
I know you are Indian. No Italian would use a stupid name like that. I know handles can be anything, but it clearly shows the intelligence level of the person.
Don't fool yourself, your message is as stupid as your handle. The only reason I responded to you was your incredibly incredibly moronic name. I did not deem your content to be worthy of comment but since you are laboring under some misconceptions, let me try and dispel them - in vain I am sure! Nobody in his right mind equates a tourism commercial to reality. But apparently you are neither capable of such nuances nor are you capable of understanding that movies are just make-believe.
Well, with George Bush logic, we can point to a certain "I" factor, which makes Berlusconi's antics and crimes and those of our country alike.
There is no pride in saying this, for I'd like to be proud of my country and it's people, not ashamed.
Look - there are no saints here. No point comparing Bush to Berlusconi and asking who is better. That is like comparing Hitler to Stalin - not worth it.
I was just pointing out the complete dissociation being displayed by this person called CoolBerlusconi.
Wow you actually spent time focussing on my name not the message congratulation you idiot fools will always be alive sigh . Cough up and admit India has a nasty attitude to girls and women do something about it instead of shooting barbs at someones name . And hey India welcome to the fine club that beats women marry;s them off hide behind saris ,get raped and when they complain authorities ignore it or worse the police tells them to mary the rapist .Move your male population to the Taliban world they will live happily ever after .
As I said - only a total ignoramus would choose a name like yours and you keep proving my point every time you open your mouth! As much as I hate to do this, I want you to say more. It is weirdly fascinating to watch when a moron keeps beating himself over the head!
Sir, you are factually Incorrect
Acording to the testimony of the surviving male friend, the victim attempted to dial 100 but her mobile was snatched away.
Kindly rest your overactive imagination.
It is comically sad to see from TV news (also reported by Jan. 3rd issue of UK's Daily Mail) that Bikram Singh Brahma, Congress Parliament member of Assam, was shown being beaten around by village folks with clubs and sticks for his unlawful entry and rape of a mother of two and his hapless assistants were unable to calm the angry crowd, all this while the national protests of Delhi rape-murder were raging on.
It underscores the chronic raping problem in India. It is not civilised and it is not pretty. And I can understand why so many Indian posters usually active on these threads choose to be silent now.
I, for one, am happy and proud. Not because Mr A**hole was beaten, but because it shows collective will of women of the Assam village. Bravo!
Many Indian dare not and don't want to face the fact and root that something bad may come from Hinduism.Hinduism is a religion which is full of discrimination against women.The best excuse for Indian is Britain pollutions such as moral pollution and so on.British colonists brought the rape into India.
Or blame it on Pakistan.
I am a fan on blaming China.
But primarily, in defense of hinduism, I can't think of ANY religion in this world is pro-women short of Wiccan goddess worship.
Blaming Britain for rape crimes in your country is as absurd as Britain blaming its own rape problems on the vikings.
Wake up and take a long hard look at the awful, brutal and male-centric hell-on-earth culture you actually live in.
Unfortunately our politicians are unable to find a "phoren hand" or a "terrorist group" which can be blamed.
To calrify some impressions, I still think Hinduism is a very evolved and good way of living, but the preachers during centuries of colonization, made it into a cult of convenience to provide solace to followers. It is not unusual - the same happened in european countries during occupation.
Post independence, Hindu religion is heavily discriminated against by foreign bred political leaders, under the guise of minority appeal. Main temples are administered by the government and a large part of collections taken by it, while other religions run autonomous places of worship and educational institutions. Little wonder that Hinduism has stagnated, and could not attract progressive thinkers.
Nonsense. Actually British banned "Sati"-practice
of burning the wife alive with the body of dead husband.
The assumption was that a surviving wife is no good
without a husband so better to kill her.
This practice went on for a long period of time till British rule.
Widow marriage was unacceptable till
Hindu Marriage Act of 1952. Somehow a women was
blamed for the death of her husband. There are lot
of contradictions in Hinduism like other religions.
Hinduism has many goddesses but still tolerated
sati and bar on widow marriage( by custom).Indian
culture need to change a lot before women get a
fair shake.
My friend this has got nothing to do with pakistan This is internal issue of the Indian law I thank you Firozali A.Mulla DBA One man has stated as a witness that he tried to stop many cars but no one stopped for help NOW is that Pakistan I than you Firozali A.Mulla SEE BBC or SKY COM
That made no sense whatsoever.
I would advocate the Indian court system to hand out castration, with the consent of the convicted, if the death penalty is deemed too harsh to the perpetrators.
* 83% of rape cases are pending in Indian Courts.
* Conviction rate is below 25%.
Having an ad that says "Turn Me On" above an article on rape is not just insensitive it is repugnant. Please take more care in your ad placement.
The Saket District Bar Council denies the criminals the right to a lawyer.
Women who walk alone at night are seen as an easy prey, looking for trouble.
I get the feeling that these two statements are related somehow.
It might sound terribly politically incorrect, but it's imperative to mention this. The part of India, which was under Muslim rule, have social norms and hierarchy strongly influenced by Muslim society. This includes position of women in social order. (Also includes the general aggressiveness, assertiveness, propensity to relocate to Western nations as Blue collared worker, level of education, Gender disparity in Human development, Honour killing). This applies for most of North West India.
"To my understanding, consumption of fast food contributes to such incidents. Chowmein leads to hormonal imbalance evoking an urge to indulge in such acts,"
I strongly believe, one must address only and only the point of debate and not the background of commenter. But I figured out that by "coincidence", almost all of your other comments are in India related topics. And the zeal is little short of aggressive vendetta. And the smear campaign is particularly strong in India-Pakistan or Hindu-Muslim issues. Any specific reason for such deep opprobrium ?
I agree with you. The cow belt is especially prone to brutalized actions, But the question is who bells the cat? As long as Indian laws are uniform, I would like to point my finger at the arcane colonial government, with main actors till living in british colonies and continuing to treat citizens as an inferior class.
I must also admit that I have changed my mind abut inhuman punishment standards to the guilty of rape. I lean more towards deterrence through effective policing, and efforts in schools to eliminate gender biases. Yes, it will take 30 years, but it is the only effective action in a country with such poor enforcement standards.
Yes someone was going to blame muslims. If india had never been ruled by muslims this would never have happend. All hindues love women, and all these men secretly muslim with out nowing it, just like the boys in Ohio.
I gues muslims are also to blame for the caste system despite that their are no caste systems in muslim contries.
And that the system is totally hindu.
They are surely also to blame for the skewed gender ratio i india despite the fact that there are no skewed gender ratio in muslim contries. Since they are against abortion.
And the many muslim women who where and are mass raped by hindu facist in gujarat and kashmir,
Are them selves to blame, if india hadn't been ruled by muslims no hindu could ever have imagend doing that.
Why not just blame Pakistan?
Your anti-muslim hatred is discusting. Take resposibility for your own culture and religion.
hinduism is a religion of inequality where humans are not all valued for being human (unlike christianity) but parted into a caste system. There is plenty of hatred and insitement of violence against women, as there are in all the major religions.
the "general aggressiveness, assertiveness" is more due to the fact that northern india was occupied by different rulers at diferent times and intermingled with people from different cultures.. as for "propensity to relocate to Western nations as Blue collared worker",it is equally, if not more, prevelant in south of india.. and i am not sure that in north india "social norms and hierarchy strongly influenced by Muslim society".. these are more or less same across india..
This is not a North India vs South India argument. It is about the social norms of North India, which have much stronger kinship with Pakistan in terms of food, music and clothes. So evidently, gender roles are not much different. This leaves much to be improved vis-a-vis South India. Sadly "different rulers at different times" does not justify that social order. Let me add, the blue collar workers in Canada and UK are exclusively from North West India. And this emigration pattern is closely similar to Pakistan. Lastly, North Indian women participation in high skilled jobs are hugely behind South India, Bengal or Maharashtra.
To D8zA9caebP
You finally see some sense, although not all of it. This is not a North India vs South India argument neither is it a regional or related only to "north-west india" which you say has resemblance to Pakistani culture.. Regarding your other note about food, music and ethnic "north-west Indian" clothes, I am not sure how much these are related to the topic of rape.. As for blue-colour emigration patterns, I do not have the numbers to counter you on that.. I only speak of general emigration patterns. Again on high-skilled jobs, I have not delved into the numbers.. though I can think of quite a few both north and south Indian women in high-skilled jobs.. I dont think Indian women are that disadvantaged in terms of participation in high-skilled jobs as compared to Pakistan or Arab countries
It appears that you are another one of those regional fools.. Either that or you are completely oblivious of both North and South Indian cultures.. How is ethnic North Indian women clothing very different from its South Indian counterpart.. Thats the only thing in your comment that is even remotely connected to rape..
As for women participation in high skilled jobs, I dont think the difference is that huge.. I would love to be enlightened with the exact numbers...
Kindly address the issue and don't attack the commenter with derogatory words. This is not the Comments section of Times of India. Here people are obligated to maintain a civil decorum.
-- If you enter any institution which requires high skilled expertise in Telecommunication, Networking, Medicine or Financial Analytics, you will be able to figure out the regional distribution.
Regarding dress: In South India, Bengal, Maharashtra - Saree is popular. And have several local traditional ethnic wear. Whereas, in NW India, Salwar Kurta, Ghaghra, Gharara, Sharara etc are popular as ethnic wear. Not that, anyone is obligated to follow "Indian tradition" to the T, and promote "Holier than thou" attitude in terms of Indian culture. My entire point, was to prove, that NW India has strong proclivity towards Pakistani (erstwhile Muslim) culture. Gender roles is just an extension of that.
I assume that you have been reading a lot of "international" publications and not poor "Times of India".. I assume than that you also know that another "civil decorum" is to back your arguments with numbers.. but nevermind.. i never expected a fool like you to actually go through the numbers before making comments like "North Indian women participation in high skilled jobs are """hugely behind""" South India, Bengal or Maharashtra"..
as for your "entire point" , it is entirely wrong.. though "NW India has strong proclivity towards Pakistani (erstwhile Muslim) culture", it has got nothing to do with rape or any offence against women.. i also assume that busy as you were with reading all the "international" publications, you never read about the rape in your own backyard, Kerala..
so the "entire point" then is that you are a disguised "international" regional fool intent on blaming troubles on North India or Pakistan while you bask in the accumulated glory of both North and South Indian men in the international arena.. It might also interest you that according to all indicators that you can find, North India is much ahead of South India in terms of development of women personality and their active participation in society..
Here is the problem.
While rape happens everywhere, gang rape in this frequency happens only in India. In India, a woman is taught that their "honor" is more valuable than their lives. So when a woman gets molested or rapes, she tries to hide it in fear of not losing her honor. The ones that do report, gets scared off by male police (there are very few lady police even in the cities), who are the most brutal and rude people in the world. Even if they are sympathetic, it is traumatic for a woman to go over the ordeal again. So most women back off. The ones that insist that they will file a charge, police do not do their job. When they do go to the court, the case is so poorly handled, that the accused gets off in most cases. Plus the definition of rape if is extremely restrictive. So most sexual harassment is not rape. So in the unlikely cases where the guilty is punished, the quantum is punishment is very low. They walk free in a few months and torment the victim again.
To break the jinx, we have to prevent each of them in order.
1) Teach our daughters/sisters that molestation/rape is not the worst thing in life. So if they are harassed, let them come forward and report them.
2) Have a well-trained lady police presence in every police station. So that a woman do not have to interact with a rude male policeman.
3) Train the police on how to investigate a rape case sensitively, without harassing the victim, preferably by lady police officers.
4) Widen the definition of rape to include other forms of sexual harassment, so that the quantum of punishment is higher even for molestation.
5) Fast track grave crimes such as rape and murder.
If we implement these, we will not need medieval practice like capital punishment and chemical castration for rapists.
* Women should wear Burqah and travel.
* Carry a petrol sachet for your self-defense in India.
How about a chastity belt?
You've not seen the plight of lower caste women in rural India.
Subhendu, while I agree with your comments about the 'honor' system its an import from the islam, and is not from Hinduism. And your seeking women constables in the same breath is a contradiction in itself - are you advocating gender sensitivity and equality or separatism, which is what leads to bias, crimes and subjugation?
Let us be realistic - this over-moralizing by criminals posing as netas have led to Indians fragmented along caste, region and religion. Now you want another fragmentation along another axis? Why not just propose a burka, women buses, women bars, women offices and women schools - that will be true progress, is it?
Both men or women needs to be much more sensitive to others and behave in a manner befitting a civilized people if we want to be a developed country some day, not a perpetually 'developiiing' one.
Think about it.
You don't care about India so don't pretend.
I am sorry to spill this. I read most of your comments in various articles and blogs. All your comments are vicious trolling on India related issues.

what took the economist so long to get to this subject?
this has been discussed for three weeks now. i already thought you would never dare to tackle it.
They were waiting for the hysteria to die down and rightly so. Up until now, there was no mood for discussion, only vengeance.
Christmas break
Asking the wrong question will never provide the right solution. Is rape in India the central issue ? Wrong question ! The flood of comments and response from media pundits, the public and the Economist indicate that all of them apear to focus on the wrong question. The right question: Has governance collapsed in the Centre ? Yes, indeed. The flood-light then shifts on to those hooded figures trying to slink away under the protection of the wrong question - the political class and its leaders, the criminals in the legislature who frame the law, the goons in uniform who protect their ilk in the streets and the moneybags disguised as businessmen.
I think this movement concerning violence against women is salutary, but I believe that things like that, unfortunately, might have happened (and might happen again) anywhere, in any country.
Remember that it was in the developed Austria that a daughter was held captive and was constantly raped by her own father for 24 years...
There are devils disguised of men all around the world...And to think that those guys were conceived in a woman's womb!
Eye for an eye! They should be impaled just like they did to her!
Everyday there are many horrible things than this rape happening in India.
I believe the 'real' reason for this agitation by students is
http://india.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/12/20/reservations-bill-hits-hurdles... covertly sponsored by Indian political parties https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BJP and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aam_Admi_Party
Wow. you are a true indian - discovering conspiracy theories in everything that ever happens. Come one, why not find some deeper conspiracy about the Economist publishing this article, while you are about it? Silly, just plain silly.

I think time has come now to stop tarring whole India with the same brush. Time has come now for us to distinguish between us and them. The fact is whole of India does not treat woman the same way. I come from a semi-urban part of West Bengal in Eastern India. In last 42 years, I never heard a single violent sexual crime against woman in my district and the neighboring ones (with a combined population of ~30 million). There are some stray dowry related crimes and some minor harassment cases (very innocuous). But dowry related murders are also extremely rare. In middle to lower middle class family, boys and girls are treated exactly the same way; both get same nutrition, education, and healthcare. In poor family, there is some discrimination. Very few girls go to school (as do the boys). But little discrimination on nutrition and health care. I never heard of female feticide until I came out of Bengal.
Now I live I Bangalore, in South India. I visited, Chennai, Kerala. Although I have not mingled with the whole gamut of the society, it appears to me there is little discrimination in South India as well.
So it seems the problem is confined to a few states in North India. It is an injustice to paint the whole Indian society with the same brush. All my life, I never mistreated a woman. I do not know any friend who does. If anything, we treat our women (relatives, coworkers, general public) with more respect than in the West, where often time, women are objectified. So I refuse to take the blame for a few ignorant, rude, illiterate, uncivilized North India males.
Stop painting issues as regional problems, have you not read the news about rape in Park Street, or in kerala where a gang rape case is pending for 15 years or the public groping of teenager in Assam in 2012? Am sorry to say, you are now painting people from a region of the country as being rude, uncivilized.
It is high time we stand up for our country, and stop behaving as a regional fool. You are an Indian first and Bengali later.
It is a highly myopic view of the problem that you are taking. The problem is not literacy or civility but a combination of law and order and the patriarchal mindset which is uniform across the country. I fully endorse the viewpoint of 'Kluless'.
Very good point about the film and music industry. The same problem goes for even more developed countries like the United States. I see women oppressed on many popular US movies.
Rape often bypasses our police and justice system, because it is subverted by the rich and powerful in urban as well as in urban areas. Further,Women's rights are compromised by the distorted values of caste system, the vulgar and demeaning way popular movies depict women, the free availability of internet porn, alcohol and drugs. The skewed gender ratio, more so in the north, contributed no less to the undesirable and immoral advances of men towards women. For centuries, women never ventured out of their homes after dark. Now, increasing number of them are forced to come out and rub shoulders with men some of whom mistake this for their liberal and permissive lifestyle. To restore women's lost rights, a paradigm change in the attitudes is needed in every walk of life, which may take considerable time, given our lethargic social and administrative dispensations.

* If you kill somebody, you did it in self-defense, if you belong to my caste.
* If you kill somebody, you should be hanged, if you do not belong to my caste.
Why don't you fascinate us with some better ones like they play baseball in the supreme court during the lunch hours or go from delhi to kolkata with a horse.

While we in India are confronting this issue, its amazing how many of them in the west(as per some very sensible western observers) are seeing this as 'Indian Culture' specific issue, conveniently forgetting the reality on the ground.
I mean the first time I heard about the term 'rape culture' was in America by an American female friend of mine in 1999/2000 about 'rape culture in America'. I did not even know such a term existed till then. The highly evolved statements by Republican party members during the recent elections on various issues and statistics of violence against women in Us/Europe etc, depressing as they are, can at best reassure that humans are same more or less everywhere(it doesn't help the victim though). (BTW who was that football coach of some university in US, who abused young boys- sorry, perhaps that kind of depravity doesn't count here - and what was the reaction of a very large percentage of university going people - Don't touch the coach, we need the football trophy).
We in India have to seriously look at how to improve law and order in India - perhaps we are already looking at it and making some progress.
(Also if you have slightly larger than a pea sized brain you would do a better job of understanding statistics. Before labeling the system as misogynist please see how many (say) bicycle thefts are reported and registered('Why did you buy an expensive fancy cycle in the first place, you were inviting theft' is not uncommon to encounter). No I am not equating the two- I am trying to tell you that if both the type of incidents have similar statistics then the answer may not be misogyny, because clearly there is no misogyny in not registering bicycle theft(Also again I am not suggesting that misogyny doesn't exist I am just asking that its worth looking at all factors and we need to learn how to interpret statistics before we start throwing around numbers).
Meanwhile, I did not make any comment on any blog or networking site regarding say America's obsession with Guns. I am sure they will figure out whats best for you.
I also suggest you do an analysis of how many people in New York City or London think that 'how a woman dresses and behaves' invites rape. You may be in for a shock.(Remember that drunk girl who was raped and the judge partly held her responsible for inviting trouble).
Again comparing these two numbers will not absolve the Indian society of the dismal law and order situation - it will definitely tell you that perhaps its not 'an Indian culture' problem. The 'Indian Culture' could be, at best, blamed only for the differential numbers if any(say '68%' in India vs '50%' in US. 18% you may be tempted to attribute to something 'Indian'). Again I am not defending India, I wish to bring the number down to Zero in India regardless of whats happening in other places in the world(Well I actually wish the same for everywhere honestly).
As for the British you may want to re-look at your favorite secret agent James Bond 'Its ok for a man to slap a women...(Sean Connery)' oops, sorry..., he is Scottish, and he was off duty anyway!
When is the last time you heard of a "gang rape" in America? In India, all rapes are "gang rape". Why? Doesn't it indicate a male chauvinist, mysogynist society.
Sweety why don't you do some googling on Ohio Rape!
India is 4th most dangerous place in the world for women.
It is only a little better than war-ravaged Afghanistan and Congo.
Reports like this is exactly why I was trying to drill some sense into people like you. PLEASE read that article AGAIN, where as there are lot of statistics given in the second half of the article 'The fourth position' awarded is based on an OPINION POLL("A Thomson Reuters Foundation global poll reveals this shocking fact"). Do you have the capability to understand the difference between hard statistics and Opinion Poll. Also this has been critized by a lot of analysts.
I would love to get together with a few people and POLL YOU as the most brilliant person in the world. But unfortunately it will not make you one.
(I am sorry, but my tolerance for non-sense is a bit low today).
Oh! didn't you hear about the Steubenville High School football team's wonderful achievement against a single player, also the way where they glorified their moments of success by posting instagram pictures on facebook. And the best part is the hereos are only awarded a house arrest.
I fully endorse the conviction that in INDIA the primary feed to every girl is that her honor is to be protected by all means. That is why even the slightest of harassment is claustrophobic for a girl from Chandni Chowk, in contrast to a girl from Brooklyn. This is one of the factors that holds back a woman to stand up against the male chauvinism. Still you can find hundreds of females in many of the big cities, strolling after 11pm, which was practically unimaginative say 50 years back. Changes take place in civilizations and sometimes they require unified angst and anger.
This horrific ignominy has impelled the mass of a nation which has had only 65 years to self-ameliorate.
Afraid to take your "brilliant" Caste share of land as per https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communal_Award and build your own nation?
Nit, it seems your tolerance for anyone's opinions is also low on most days. Do you really think hard statistics are reliable in a country like India where fudging is a way of life, and truth only lies in the eyes of the beholder.
Reuters, like almost all researchers of any topic in India, used surveys for India for a reason. I will share my own experience here. My 2010 thesis was about telecom usage pattern in BRIC nations. I chose 37 metrics to explore (GDP, population, age groups, urban/rural, telecom coverage, active connections, revenues etc). While stats from Brazil and China correlated well, EVERY SINGLE statistic for India did not pass validation tests - and I was working off CSSO numbers from the fresh census. In deseparation, I went to NSSO and the same thing happened. I asked officers in charge who just shrugged and said - we know the data does not pass validation checks.
My learning - give up on data that comes from any Indian source. They are outdated, not reliable and plain incorrect.
Still looking for data? Try using a police station crime register to assess your neighborhood safety and you will soon realize what goes on.
Well, I can assure you my tolerance for 'Opinions' is pretty close to Zero unless you are Marie Curie or Amartya Sen(and that too if they talk about the subject they are known to be experts in). The problem is people throw around OPINION as absolute TRUTH. Though I do not grudge you having an opinion as I have my own, but I keep them to myself and continue to seek empirical and verifiable facts.
Coming to the point, I am happy you were involved in some meaningful analysis, which unfortunately could not be useful due to lack of valid data. I will also accept your assertion that getting correct data is difficult in India(well as you have done the research- I am assuming you are honest- and so your statement that 'data gathering and recording techniques in India are poor' is not an opinion any more but a statement borne out of your observation and analysis of facts). However the absence of data does not mean that we should discard all future attempts at being objective. All it means is that we have to acknowledge that at this point we cannot come to a meaningful conclusion.
So it means that we have to invest in systems that will help us collect valid data for meaningful analysis.
It still does not mean that we go around passing OPINION as FACTS!

Bennnington man charged in alleged choking incidentJuly 24,2013Man faces charge
in choking incident
BENNINGTON A local man is facing a felony assault charge after police said he choked a man in Bennington.
Miguel E. Maisonet, 34, of Bennington pleaded innocent Monday in Bennington criminal court to a felony count of aggravated assault and misdemeanor charges of simple assault and disorderly conduct.
Officer David Faden of the Bennington Police Department said police responded to a report of a fight June 22 around 9 p.m. on Depot Street.
Joseph and Kristie Pratt told police they were walking on the corner of Depot and River streets when they came across Maisonet petting a dog. Kristie Pratt told police she said excuse me to get around Maisonet but he became agitated and yelled at her, spit in her face and punched her, according to Fadens affidavit.
Joseph Pratt said Maisonet then hit him and pushed him up against a metal fence and choked him, the affidavit said.
Joseph Pratt said he was able to get away, but that when Maisonet was choking him he couldnt breathe, police said.
Another witness, who didnt know any of the people involved, gave police a similar statement.
Faden said he had many past professional encounters with Maisonet and that he was unusually aggressive June 22. The officer said Maisonet threatened his life and urinated on the floor of the holding cell at the Bennington Police Department.
Maisonet was released without bail but ordered to check in daily at the Bennington Police Department and not to have contact with the Pratts.MORE IN This Just InHAVANA Daniela Martinez long figured that someday she would leave the struggles of daily life...

- The Serpentine Gallery's 12th Pavilion Commission
- Posted 34 months ago by Jack Lowe · Art & Design · 2619 Views
Today, London's Serpentine Gallery unveiled their plans for the twelfth annual Gallery Pavilion commission, this time designed by Herzog & de Meuron and Ai Weiwei.
The design will enable visitors to go beneath the Serpentine's lawn to explore the history of its previous Pavilions. Inside the cork clad room, there will be 11 columns to characterise the past designs and a final twelfth column which will support a floating platform roof 1.4 metres above ground.
Previous to this, the design team created the famous Beijing National Stadium (the Bird's Nest Stadium), which was built for the 2008 Olympic Games and received a lot of positive attention.
The pavilion will open 1 June, 2012.

For cyclists, there's always a consistent constrain on space: space to store tools and enhancers en route, space when jockeying with autos along the shoulder, and space dedicated singularly to gathering with like-minded pedalers.
The latter of which, dubbed Maglianero Cafe, is Burlington, Vermont's newest attraction for the two-wheel set.
Opening today, the cafe is located a block from the bike path along Lake Champlain, nestled tightly in the basement of global design think-tank Jager Di Paola Kemp Design (JDK). Maglianero, translated as 'black jersey' in italian and inspired by Johnny Cash's epic tune "Man in Black," comes in the form of a bike wash, commuter shower facilities and a cycle-repair area.
Not to ignore a cyclist's need to boost and improve their mental and physical state, whether heading into the uphill stage or plugging in for a few hours of work, the cafe doesn't disappoint. Serving farm-direct coffees and teas, fresh pastries from local bakers and plenty of comfortable seating zones, all are welcome here --and you don't have to roll-up on two wheels to get served. Although, it's obviously recommended.
The interior design of the space is set as naturally modern, with a hint of industrial roots. A seemingly appropriate blend of Burlington's historic and aesthetic scene.
The space may continue to host exhibits and events like it has in the past, but don't try and drop-in to the infamous skate ramp. It's currently locked-down due to insurance approvals. Who could imagine a technical skate ramp located inside a cafe would give insurance adjusters heartburn? Rhetorical, folks. Even more of a reason to help Burlington build a skatepark.
On opening day, there's a constant flow of young and old, hipster and normie, autos and bikes. Sitting on an aluminum barstool in a window seat overlooking the overcast parking lot, the espresso is smooth, the service is prompt, and the wi-fi is productive.
Don't forget to tip your barista and bike mechanic, or coffee mechanic, in this case. It's the "Modern Mobility Movement." You don't have to drink the kool-aid if you're not inclined, but you should definitely drink the brew.

Ford Atlas Concept
The Ford F-150 has been the best-selling U.S. vehicle for the past 31 years, as we have heard a thousand times in the past week, so the introduction of the concept for the 2015 F-150 is, of course, a big deal.
It does seem that Ford did not want all the attention going to the Silverado and the new Ram 1500, selected as the 2012 truck of the year at the start of the auto show, and so it rolled out a the Atlas concept on Tuesday. But there is something else going on here too: Wednesday, Jan. 16, was the 65th anniversary of F-Series, which was introduced on Jan. 16, 1948.
Ford even dug up the original press release, which noted that "the streamlined 1948 models, completely new from the wheels up, represent the first post-war product of Ford."

Union takes hard stance against German automakers
Europe's largest industrial union, IG Metall, is taking a tough stance against some job rules German carmakers want to enforce, potentially creating the possibility of a strike, according to TheDetroitBureau.com.
"Talks are resuming, but so far five rounds of negotiations have produced little movement and a round of warning strikes earlier this month at several companies, including Porsche, BMW and Daimler, suggest that the powerful union is gearing up for a confrontation," the Bureau reported earlier this week.
The union wants a 6.5-percent pay raise for its workers and a limit in how many temporary workers the carmakers can use. Around the world, carmakers use temporary workers as way to increase production without increasing union membership and save money.
The union was offered a 3-percent pay raise, but that offer was rejected. Currently, German auto workers are some of the highest paid in the automotive world. And while parts of Europe remain in economic turmoil, Germany has shown signs of slow growth, which might be one reason some government officials are backing IG Metall.
All of this doesn't bode well for General Motors' German-based Opel. GM was hoping to get some concessions from the unions representing its workers as part of its restructuring. But if other carmakers are paying more for its workers, it's unlikely the troubled Opel would be able to squeeze much of its people.

The Really Amazing Spider-Man 2 Star Emma Stone On Tuning Out The Haters And Owning Who You Are
You already know you want to see The Amazing Spider-Man 2 if only for the close ups of Andrew Garfield and Dane DeHaan. But its not just about the guy candyit also has an awesome girl-power lead in Emma Stone. Here, the amazingly cool actress opens up about the film, body image, and girl power. And can we just say? Love!
By Brittany Burke
On body confidence...
"It can be really challenging in today's world for anyone—especially girls and women—to feel good about their bodies. No matter how things look from the outside, we can all be super critical of ourselves and of our image in the mirror. I've seen articles or comments that have addressed my weight, or 'caving to pressure to be thin.' Keeping weight on is a struggle for me— especially when I'm under stress, and especially as I've gotten older. That's the way my genes have decided to go, and things will change as time goes on, as does everything. So when completely untrue statements are made about me or my health, of course a part of me wants to defend. Thing is, people have a right to imagine what they want to imagine. My job at those moments is to tell myself the truth. Am I taking care of myself in a healthy way? Am I respecting myself and being responsible? And over and over, I answer yes to that question. Then I remind myself to be kind to myself, and as slightly ridiculous as it may sound, to treat myself in the same gentle way I'd want to treat a daughter of mine. It really helps."

Kydex and/or ballistic cloth nylon with Kydex inserts are used in the multi-carry sheath systems, and a rugged black powder epoxy blade coat is standard for all models in the Becker Knife and Tool line.

We hold a short meditation at the end of every class. Each session begins with unique and deceptively simple mini exercises for improved circulation. You get a powerful workout that doesn't feeling like a workout. I received an MS in Bio/Nutrition 28 years ago from the U. of Bridgeport, well known for it's outstanding nutrition program, and am happy to answer your health questions.

Many people think that Yoga is just a physical exercise. But Yoga is much more than that: it's a method of developing your body, mind and spirit. "Yoga means inner oneness": It's when your words, your voice, actions, feelings, thoughts and soul match... it's when you feel totally at peace with yourself... beyond self-doubt and fear... radiating strength, joy and love from within. We all want to feel like that and we can. Ananda Marga meditation and yoga courses give you the chance to experience that. In our center in Corona, Queens we offer on-going classes on yoga and meditation for beginners and advanced practitioners under the guidance of Yougic monks.

Great Neck, New York 11021
|Contact:Nicole Newman
Dedicated to sharing the powerfully transformative science of the Ashtanga-Vinyasa Method with my students, I see yoga as a tool to open the heart and sharpen the mind. Emphasis is placed on cultivating tristhana, the yoga principle that combines the three areas of action and attention: posture, Ujjayi breathing and drishti, or looking place. Students work to bring the three areas of tristhana into balance. Learning to control the breath calms the mind and presents an opportunity to develop a personal connection to each asana.

Good job all. I got kind of messed up on getting started due to some career turmoil and a bout with pneumonia. I only missed a week on the Nordic Trak. I do 30 minutes every morning with it set on the highest elevation and then propped up another 4 inches with a couple of 2X4's. It is much easier on my old joints than running. I had to replace a roller, which was a 5o cent piece that cost me $50. but it is worth it. I did buy (for the price of lunch) another full machine I can use for parts next time. Now I just need to get the diet going and get back on the weight machine.

About Utica crime rates
With a crime rate of 50 per one thousand residents, Utica has one of the highest crime rates in America compared to all communities of all sizes - from the smallest towns to the very largest cities. One's chance of becoming a victim of either violent or property crime here is one in 20. Within New York, more than 98% of the communities have a lower crime rate than Utica.
Importantly, when you compare Utica to other communities of similar population, then Utica crime rate (violent and property crimes combined) is quite a bit higher than average. Regardless of how Utica does relative to all communities in America of all sizes, when NeighborhoodScout compared it to communities of similar population size, its crime rate per thousand residents stands out as higher than most.
The crime data that NeighborhoodScout used for this analysis are the seven offenses from the uniform crime reports, collected by the FBI from 17,000 local law enforcement agencies, and include both violent and property crimes, combined.
Now let us turn to take a look at how Utica does for violent crimes specifically, and then how it does for property crimes. This is important because the overall crime rate can be further illuminated by understanding if violent crime or property crimes (or both) are the major contributors to the general rate of crime in Utica.
For Utica, we found that the violent crime rate is one of the highest in the nation, across communities of all sizes (both large and small). Violent offenses tracked included forcible rape, murder and non-negligent manslaughter, armed robbery, and aggravated assault, including assault with a deadly weapon. According to NeighborhoodScout's analysis of FBI reported crime data, your chance of becoming a victim of one of these crimes in Utica is one in 152.
In addition, NeighborhoodScout found that a lot of the crime that takes place in Utica is property crime. Property crimes that are tracked for this analysis are burglary, larceny over fifty dollars, motor vehicle theft, and arson. In Utica, your chance of becoming a victim of a property crime is one in 23, which is a rate of 43 per one thousand population.
