I have seen on the news & heard from friends some really disgusting stories about how women are treated in the North….Delhi, Kanpur, UP etc….not to mention dangerous places like Bihar !

Its just shocking. DOnt these men/boys have female members in their house ? How would they feel if they are treated like that. Have they no basic decency in them ? To do a crime & so arrogantly do away with the person who protests or stops them is just shamelessness & lawlessness of the highest order. Mindboggling.

I feel lucky to have been born & brought up in Maharashtra!

Mehak: Oh yeah! but if the media would cover all other victims without prejudice to who the victim or the accused is?

You are right. I sometimes believe in the non-Gandhian, eye-for-an-eye rule in such scenarios. I think any one can predict what will happend to those people who actually shot her to death. At the most, our Indian court system (if at all) will give them a few years in jail. And that is about it. Something should be done so it stops other people from doing it too.

This reminds of me of an incident I was following a couple of years ago where an apartment security guard in Delhi or around there somewhere (not so sure about the area) raped and killed a 13/14 year old girl who was alone after school in her apartment and then when he was brought to justice, a LOT, I mean A LOT of people were oppsing the death sentence for the guy. I couldn’t believe people wer e supporing the rapist and the killer. Now, you have got me goin..sorry about the long comment…
