Really perturbed by the daily news on the abuse of women. Scary because it is on rise. What kind of world are we heading into. Why are we deteriorating on values as basic as respecting and treating other human being as “human”. Why are we going back to Dark Ages where women were just to be treated as objects?
Was going through the article – Rape and the ugly Indian by Anand Soondas
Excerpt from the article –
If only India’s other stats – on economy, poverty alleviation, healthcare – grew at the rate crimes against women are climbing up in this country. At an increase of 31% it is exponential. It is also shocking, amazing and ridiculous. A 2006 report by the National Crime Records Bureau said in India a woman is raped every half hour and is killed every 75 minutes. And this is according to 2004 data…………
India, as an article in TOI recently said, is now one of the most dangerous places for women to be in. We can do without this dubious distinction.
