Italy Returns Marines Only Power Talks
Now Italy has agreed to return the marines involved in the killing of Fishermen in Kerala, India.
earlier Italy refused to return the marines who had gone to Italy from Indian Custody after an undertaking by the Italian Ambassador to The Supreme Court of India that they would be returned to India.
When Italy reneged on its commitment, India made a smart move in moving the Supreme court which blocked the Italian ambassador Mancini from leaving India and a blazing row ensued between India and Italy.
India’s firm stand against EUs quoting Vienna conventions India refused to buckle.
This has paid off.
Obviously Power usually works!
Wish India does it with Pakistan and Sri Lanka s well.
Story:
Italian Marines involved in the Murder of Indian Fishermen, NEW DELHI—Bowing to pressure from New Delhi, Rome announced two Italian marines will return to India to stand trial on murder charges, a move that is likely to end a diplomatic impasse between the two countries.
Following discussions with Indian officials, the government of Prime Minister Mario Monti said that the two men—Massimiliano Latorre and Salvatore Girone—will be returning to India on Friday.
“Indian authorities have given us a written assurance that the marines will be treated well, and that their rights will be respected,” the Italian government said in a statement on Thursday night.
Rome was previously worried that the two men risked the death penalty in India, a form of punishment that is banned in Italy.
Foreign Minister Salman Khurshid, in a statement to Parliament Friday, said his government informed Italian officials that capital punishment is not applicable in this case.
The men are accused of fatally shooting two Indian fishermen off the coast of southern India last year. They deny they committed murder.
They were detained by local police, sparking a disagreement between Italy and India over where they should be tried.
India’s Supreme Court in January ordered its own courts have jurisdiction and said the criminal case will be handled in a special court in Delhi.
Italy contended the men should be tried in Italy as the incident occurred in international waters.
A month later, the court agreed to a request from Italian Ambassador Daniele Mancini, on behalf of his government, to allow the two men to travel to Italy for a four-week period to vote.
Last week, Italy announced the naval officers would not be returning to India as planned, a decision that led to an escalating diplomatic crisis.

Boy Friends For Hire ,Grooms Shortage
China is facing the pressure of shortage of bride grooms and Boy friends are available on Hire.
The attempt of man to control population has unforeseen side effects.
Compare this with Kerala , India where is a dearth of females!
By aping the West, even the most cultured , old and Conservative Societies like china and japan have descended to this level beating the West .
Boy Friends For Hire, China. Story:
Twenty-somethings in China – young women especially – face a strict societal deadline to find a husband before they turn 30.
In the basement of an office tower in downtown Beijing, a cloud of gloom hovers over the canteen at lunch time. Groups of young women huddled over large bowls of noodles look depressed when asked about the February’s impending Chinese New Year holiday.
“I’m pretty old – I’m almost 30 – but I’m still single,” explains Ding Na, a woman hailing from China’s northeast.
According to Zhou Xiaopeng, a consultant with Baihe.com, one of China’s biggest dating agencies, the pressure for singles to settle down crescendos around Chinese New Year.
“I might find someone who shares my interests and it would make both of us happy”
“Picture a scene where people sit around a table,” Ms Zhou says.
“Chinese people love to get together for dinner. On New Year’s Eve, everybody is sitting in pairs, your brother with your sister-in-law, your sister with your brother-in-law, and so on. If you’re the only one left behind, you can imagine the pressure and frustration.
…Kiss for $8
Luckily for some, China’s most popular online marketplace, Taobao, offers a band-aid solution: the rental of fake boyfriends.
For as little as $50 (£32) a day, dozens of classified adverts promise to provide a male companion for the holidays, pretending to be a single woman’s plus-one.
Some postings list a full menu of possibilities – charging $5 an hour to accompany a girl to dinner and $8 for a kiss on the cheek. If the fake boyfriend stays overnight with his client’s family for Chinese New Year, he charges $80 a night to sleep in his own bed, and $95 to sleep on the couch.
Sex is not even an option on the list.

A site in Japan is offering Boy Friends on Rent at $ 364 .
Girl friends?
Japan provides its lonely men with plenty of way to find sweet respite from the emptiness and isolation of everyday life-provided you have the cash. And we’re not just talking about prostitution: you can rent a girlfriend at Moé Date for day of “simulate romance” or find a cuddle partner at Soine-ya to help you rest easy at night.
But what about the ladies? Women get lonely too, so it seems unfair that such services would only be available to men.
Believe it or not, even before either of the above establishments were in business, there was Soine-ya Prime, a dispatch service where women can hire a handsome young man to lay with her in bed for a night.

The firm, Taobao.com, China’s largest online marketplace, is hoping to cash in on plight of millions of single women during the next month’s Chinese New Year, which is traditionally a family reunion period.
The online service is offering single women a ‘Rent a Boyfriend service to accompany them during their visit friends and families, go shopping, having meals and even getting a kiss out of courtesy.

Porn Watching Washington DC No: 1
Kerala had the dubious distinction of being n o; 1 in Watching Porn in India and pakistan No;1 in the World some time back.
USA wants to be on top of every list.
Now Washington Dc has become the number 1 watching porn as revealed by Porn Hub porn site.
Infographic may be found on Buzzfeed.
Porn watch Infographic Buzzfeed Story:
NEWSER) – If the Midwest is America’s heartland, apparently Washington, DC, is a somewhat lower-positioned organ. Leading smut website PornHub.com has announced that the nation’s capital is the US leader when it comes to watching porn, as compared to the 50 states, reports the Washington Post. In fact, DC residents watch nearly twice as much pornography as any other state—an average of 14.18 videos a year per person, compared to 7.57 videos a person in Hawaii, 7.52 in Massachusetts, and 7.5 in New York. The Post suggests that perhaps one reason for the city’s ranking is that it is so single, with just a quarter of DC residents married, or about half the rate of the rest of the country. Check out an infographic filled with other porn-viewing stats at BuzzFeed.”
Realted:
The reasons cited seem to overlook the simple important reason, that Porn is titillating.
I do not see how sex education will make you not to watch porn as also a ‘Conservative Society’
Does it mean that porn watching will be less if your society is Liberal?
Please read my blogs on Sex.
By the way, if Kerala is ‘God‘s own Country’ then what about others? God’s rented Countries? or Devil’s own Countries?

Rape of A Girl By 42 Men 40 Days Family Ostracized
A girl ,Suryanelli in Kerala was raped by Forty two Men for Forty days in 16.
She was 16.
Suryanelli Girl raped by 40 men in 16 Two Senior Congress leaders were involved and they were acquitted.
PJ Kurien,One that got away. “KOCHI, MAY 8: The Peermedu Judicial First Class Magistrate Court yesterday found Congress leader and former Union minister P J Kurien prima facie guilty in the Suryanelli sex scandal case. Judicial first class magistrate G Girish, while giving his verdict after the hearing on a private complaint lodged by the victim of the scandal, said Kurien could be implicated in the case.
The court has asked Kurien to appear before it on June 7 next. Kurien, who represented Mavelikkara constituency in Kerala in the dissolved 12th Lok Sabha, was the Chief Whip of the Congress.
In her complaint, the girl from Suryanelli had alleged that Kurien had sexually harassed her at the Kumily panchayat rest house on February 19, 1996. Though she did not recognise him then, later she identified him from a photograph published in the Mathrubhumi on March 26, 1996.”
More than the conviction rate in rape cases it is the Political pressure that embolden rapists.
Irony of this case is instead of the rapists being ostracized,it is the victim’s family that has been ostracized!
The main culprits are still active in Kerala.
The case .
Amid widespread demand for speedy proceedings in rape cases, the Supreme Court (SC) today decided to hear urgently an appeal against the acquittal of accused in the 17-year-old Suryanelli rape case in which a woman from Kerala was allegedly raped by 42 men for 40 days.
With the appeal pending at apex court itself for eight years, a bench headed by Chief Justice Altamas Kabir assured that hearings would begin on it within three weeks.
The bench gave the assurance after it was brought to its notice during mentioning period that the appeal against the acquittal of accused in the case is pending in the apex court for last eight years.
The Suryanelli rape case involves gangrape of a 16-year-old girl continuously for 40 days by 42 men in 1996.
The girl from Suryanelli in Idukki district of Kerala was abducted in January 1996 and was transported from place to place across Kerala.
On September 6, 2000, the special court had sentenced 35 persons to rigorous imprisonment for varying terms.
The Kerala High Court, however, acquitted all 35 convicts earlier and found only one of them person guilty of crimes related to the sex trade and sentenced him to five years jail term and a fine of Rs 50,000.
Later her family and the state moved the Supreme Court in 2005 against the high court’s verdict.
Background.
Suryanelli Incident occurred on January 16, 1996, when the victim, an 8th standard student in Nallathanni, was abducted by bus conductor Raju. She was subsequently kept in illegal custody in places like Kottayam, Ernakulam, Kumali, Palakkad, Vanimel, Kambam, Theni, Kanyakumari, Thiruvananthapuram, Kuravilangad, Aluva and Muvattupuzha, and subjected to sexual harassment up to February 16. The girl was set free in Idukki after 42 days in custody.
The name of former Union minister and Congress (I) leader Prof P.J. Kurian did not not figure in the chargesheet, though the girl had recognized his picture in a copy of Mathrubhumi newspaper. In May 1999, the Peerumade first class judicial magistrate court had issued a direction to file a chargesheet against Prof Kurian on the basis of a private complaint filed by the victim, but using influence at the Centre, Kurian managed to get an injunction from the Supreme Court against this indictment. Congress leaders in the state including “Mr Clean” Antony took a covering-up stand in the case.
Congress-CPM Role in the Rape Scandal
While several of the convicted including Jacob Stpehen are active Congress leaders in Kottayam. Union Minister PJ Kurian escaped indictment only because of his influence and the backboneless attitude of the CPM! Marxists who came to power using this case, took a back seat in catching the Congress leader (Most likely CPM leaders would have taken a big purse from the Congress counterparts for not following up the case politically!)
Here is the whole story (with links) of Congress Minister PJ Kurians involvment in the Rape.
35 found guilty in Kottayam sex scandal: PTI
