South Africa girl dies after rape, comparison made to Indian case Reuters | Updated: February 07, 2013 00:32 IST Johannesburg:  A 17-year-old South African girl has died of injuries received in a gang rape at the weekend, provoking rare cries of outrage on Wednesday in a country with a high level of sexual violence. In an echo of the gang rape and murder of a 23-year-old student on a New Delhi bus in December, the Cape Town-based Cape Argus newspaper said the victim was sliced open from her stomach to her genitals. She was dumped on a building site in the town of Bredasdorp, 130 km (80 miles) east of Cape Town. The Indian case triggered protests against endemic anti-female violence. But the Bredasdorp murder is unlikely to provoke a similar outpouring of anger in South Africa, where women's groups say rape has lost the power to shock. "It is difficult to find reason behind the many different acts of gang rape, child rape, rape of the elderly, corrective r

Wed, 06 Feb 2013 04:52:04 GMT Iron rod thrust into teenager's mouth during rape bid New Delhi , Feb 5 (IANS) A teenaged Class 9 student fought off a rape bid in her own house here by an electricity contractor who thrust an iron rod into her throat to quell her cries for help, police said Tuesday.

He was

Fact of 21st generation is… Everybody admires: Truth, ethics , morals, discipline, down-to-earth attitude, and honesty. Everybody wants (more and more): Money, love, respect, honor, and attention.   But to my surprise…. Nobody wants to remember and practice values taught by Truth, ethics, discipline, down-to-earth attitude, and honesty. Nobody wants to give/share: Money, love, respect, honor, and attention to needy and deprived people.   “Ethics” taught me to not to hate anybody, but on the same time “values” inside me do not allow me to luv such people. Rules of “Respect others” do not allow me to abuse anybody, but on the same time “Morals” do not allow me to forgive and ignore them too. Discipline does not allow me to keep quiet against wrongs, but Knowledge accrued by the Education does not allow me to reduce my standard.   We’re having a ruined, unmoral , ethicless admirers of truth and honesty. The Tech-savvy (instead of using their brain, they Googl

In an effort to shield their rapist sons and all other relatives…. Leaders of “khap panchayat” in Haryana opposed the demand of death penalty to rapists. http://www.ndtv.com/article/india/khaps-oppose-death-penalty-for-rapists-311434   Misuse of tough laws (as if they themselves never misused their power): These local leaders of village fear is that this new (tough) law will be misused, but how can their cheap brain forget about the misuse of power by their sons/relatives? It is an open fact in such villages that son of these khap leaders have tasted (raped) almost every woman in the village. Victims and their family are forced to remain silent bcoz of fear of getting isolated and molested by these powerful village leaders. When these khap leaders misuse their power… that is not wrong. But if government will toughen laws….. then that will be wrong … What a cheap statement, and such cheapos call themselves leaders only bcoz they have money, power, authority, and goons t

Ban skirts and Jeans….. Breaking all barriers of shame, cheapness, and stupidity……. Local head of villages, few uneducated Ministers, and a handful of Fame-Hungry powerful men are demanding for a “Ban” on wearing skirts/jeans by women in India. My personal advice to all female Tourists is to make a VERY SERIOUS note of this ban. But…. On the other hand… wearing proper cloths will NOT save u from getting “raped in India” (precisely New Delhi). If u r a woman…. presently in India…. Then be ready to get raped… anytime, anywhere, for any number of days, and by any number of men. If u’re a woman who don’t enjoy getting raped and killed, then Plz don’t come to India.   List of cloths banned for women in India: http://www.techversion.in/2012/10/women-clothes-banned-to-wear-in-india.html   Few Examples in Indian News: http://www.topix.com/forum/in/new-delhi/TRS1BFIBCV0N1R1E1 http://indiatoday.intoday.in/story/now-women-panchayats-in-up-ban-jeans-use-of-mobile-phones/1/2

Being a male myself.. I must be another unfortunate 1 who had a closest view of “Animal-like” behavior of Indian men. Their thinking, their excuses, their cheapness (towards women), their mean thoughts, their sex maniac secrets (and they’re proud of it). No matter how educated they are, no matter how good their parents are, no matter how properly they r taught about Indian culture…. A common thing today is that all Men/Guys now-a-days look at a woman like a dog is looking at a piece of flesh. If u carefully observe the expressions of a guy looking at girl (in public)…. U can literally see their tongue hanging from his eyes, as it they have learned to lick from eyes and now they are on full-practice. Shamefully….. but it’s a fact that Indian Men have become cheaper and most unethical creature alive on this earth I ever know of . I request everybody to be aware of an Indian male on internet, most probably he is another dog with two legs. They don’t even know the basic differenc
