This calls for deterrent punishment to the Guilty.
I have signed the petition.
I request my Readers to sign and let’s make our voice be heard.
It does not matter whether you are from India or not .(this is a special request as most of my Readers are from Abroad) for this is a Human Issue, wherever you are.
This was probably an honest mistake—Amazon is a stand-up company. We’ve reached out for comment, but, you know, it’s Christmas Day, so we’re not holding our breath. Ben has already contacted Amazon, and they said to return the thing.
It mentions Teenage pregnancy along with Malnutrition, Early marriage and forced marriage at an early age for girls.
Malnutrition is not selective for Girl child it is generic to both the Sex
Early marriage is definitely is on the wane and as to forced marriage,in fact the forced marriage often emanates from the girls/boys concerned now,look at boys and girls eloping when they are studying in X standard.( Forced marriages do exist albeit Ina small way as compared to the population and Literacy)
Teenage pregnancy;
The data does not provide an insight into how many rapes are due to Teen pregnancy .
All teen pregnancies are not due to rape.
That a woman can call even a consenting sexual act a Rape latter is some thing else!
So much for these Statistics.
Now to India’s ‘Rape’
Rape Tally,IndiaAssuming parity in definition, India on a population that is 400% larger has a rape incident ratio which are 24% of US. | Graphic source – hindustan times.com; Hindustan Times e-Paper dated 2012-12-23 accessed at 17-29-59.
Out goes your argument that India Tops the Rape List!
‘We abort Millions of fetuses’
The source for the writer in The telegraph article.
Tell me how many of these are from rape?
Look at this from the same article.
‘
The mean number of children per Indian woman fell from 3.8 in 1990 to 2.6 in 2008.
Selective abortion of female fetuses accounts for two to four per cent of female pregnancies in India, roughly 300,000 to 600,000 per year out of 13.3 to 13.7 million carrying a girl in 2010, the study found.
From 2001 to 2011, the practice increased at a rate of 170 per cent, slowing from 260 per cent over the previous decade.
In the study, researchers led by Prabhat Jha of the Centre for Global Health at the University of Toronto, analysed census data from 2011 and earlier.’
Figures speak.
Single woman. Quoted from WSJ. No body eyes a Single woman with suspicion ,in fact . at least in the South we try to take care of her as
in loco parentis.
Only when male visitors stay up late in the night in her room or drinking and partying goes on we do object it.
Reference has been made to Dowry.Please tell us whether it is the Boy, The father of the Boy or the Mother of the Boy demands the
Dowry.
How many female Fetuses are aborted by the commands of women?
No doubt Rape is a heinous crime and has to be eradicated.
It does not mean that all men are ogres and Rapists.
Shall I talk of Female rapists? ( especially at the work place)
The article is curiously silent about the provocation of women in scantiest of Clothes.
On top of it there is a placard showing .
Placard against Rape.
Unfortunately the advice is given only to protect two men and not to encourage Rapists.
Sex is a primordial urge;don’t incite it by sexiest dresses(revealing) or statements like ‘I want to look sexy.
If women continue finding fault only with men there is no solution,look at your self as well .
Remember Your Father, Brothers, Husband and Sons are all…….MEN.
India hates women. It is with this bald fact that I wish to begin—and end—my response to the horrific crime that occurred this week in Delhi, the rape, by multiple perpetrators, of a young woman on public transport in our capital city. She was raped by a gang of men, and she and her companion were both severely beaten, stripped naked and thrown from the bus in which they had been travelling. The young woman, to whom this response is dedicated, now lies fighting for her life, her uterus and intestines ruptured from the brutal attack, in a Delhi hospital.
If any Indian claims to be surprised by this crime and that Indian is a mentally competent, responsible adult, then he or she is lying. There are, of course, other, gentler names—ignorance, hypocrisy, denial. But let us call a spade a spade. Anyone who has experienced life growing up in India, who can claim the minimum level of education and awareness that should come with reading the newspapers, with a high school diploma or by simply keeping one’s eyes open, knows about India’s hatred for women. If he or she says otherwise, that assertion is false. In other words, he or she lies. And it is in those lies of ours, in that denial that persists in spite of India’s shameful record asone of the most misogynistic countries in the world—it is those lies that beat up and raped that young woman, that sent her crushed and bleeding, torn and broken inside and out, to that hospital where she lies now in her agony. Our lies made the attack possible, created a space for it to happen.
A woman claiming to be the wife of the assassinated(1991) Prime minister of India , claimed and obtained his Death Certificate.
‘
The woman identified herself as Sabeen Firdous from Hyderabad and mentioned her age as 50.
Though the authorities wanted to keep it a secret, the news leaked to the media. The Kancheepuram district authorities are now probing into the procedure that was followed before issuing the certificate.
A special team is also inquiring whether the person resides in the address at Dada Sahib Road, Hyderabad that she mentioned while obtaining the certificate.
‘I was part of various analysis teams of Indian intelligence agencies during the 80’s and 90’s and now live a anonymous life in a distant land. What I am going to propagate over a 3 part series in the next few days might seem very farfetched and even fantastic to most people and many conspiracy theorists might gleefully accept it as vindication for whatever they have been screaming from rooftops for quite some time now. My attempt though is neither to please any one nor to prove someone else wrong or right; it is just to come out with the truth as we perceived it. Most of the theory that I am going to put forward in part 1 is the work of us 5 people in 1991 while analyzing all the intelligence inputs over the years in connection with the assassination of former Prime Minister Mr. Rajiv Gandhi. We in the intelligence parlays termed it as “the Rajiv brief”…
Scenario 1: The Rajiv-Sonia marriage
At the outset there is nothing more than just another love story to Mr Rajiv Gandhi’sromance with Miss Antonia Albina Maino in the mid 1960’s. Any suggestion that there were characters in the Cambridge university campus that not only hooked them up but also nurtured the famous romance is too farfetched. But having said that, let us consider some of the London tabloid reports of that time which variously suggested Rajiv was “constantly influenced” by a couple of students of European origin (I would not take names and let researchers do some hard work) and that at least one of those students was later absorbed by the Vatican’s intelligence wing. It would also be farfetched to speculate on Indian intelligence requesting the help of MI5 to analyze the Rajiv-Sonia romance, at least am not aware of any such report ever being filed. All these rumours and theories have done their rounds in the intelligence quarters of Delhi, especially during 1991-1992, but then we are rushing ahead of time so we shall deal with that later. I would now present as to what intelligence agencies actually did, which was very little, and let people draw their own conclusion.
