Oh my God, the story continues in India…….



Sexual assault and protest and then the discussion in Parliament. Strict rules are again formed but the act of sexual violence continues.

and this time a 5 year old girl, a four year old girl and a nine year old girl is raped. two are battling for life. and the nine year old's throat was slit after raping her, to kill her and to avoid her identifying the rapists. and in all these cases the neighbours were the culprits.

Official show that a woman is raped every 20 minutes in India. However, many incidents of sexual crimes go unreported. India's conviction rate for rapes and other crimes against women is among the lowest in the world.

I am also for the strict rules and I don’t object any death penalty for the culprits. But I am sure also that penalizing alone doesn’t save women from these lustful men.

The European Union, United Nations chief Ban ki Moon and the Amnesty International are all very vocal against the death penalty in India. I would say that it is time for them to shift the focus from trying to abolish the death penalty to press the Indian government to implement the measures for the emancipation of women in India, and to educate everyone properly about sex and humanity.

Once when Australian missionary Graham Staines and his two sons are burned alive by radical Hindus while sleeping in their car in Eastern India, the Australian government responded very effectively and the Indian government had to yield to their pressure.

What happened when a Swiss woman was raped by seven men in India and her boyfriend beaten up? Swiss government issued a warning to the other tourists and then thanked the Indian government for bringing those culprits in front of justice. It is all after in 2008 a Swiss woman working in the Swiss embassy was raped in the parking slot.

It is time for the whole world to react and respond with stringent measures and save the woman in India. it is not the terrorism, it is not the economic depression, it is not Pakistan, it is not poverty that is the greatest evil and enemy of India. it is the Indian cultural taboo which permits no one to express their love and care to others in front of another third person but to do anything and everything in the dark.

I just remember what John Lennon said. “We live in a world where we have to hide to make love, while violence is practiced in broad daylight.”

What is the future of the world when more than one sixth of the world population is in India and when they behave so? Among the more than a billion people there 65% are below the age of 35 and India is the land from where the most migrate for valid reasons. If India behaves so with the women it is not a domestic problem alone but an international problem. I don’t like this sort of culture being transmitted outside India. So time for the international community to react.
