This might cause some unruffled feathers. But I am not going to be fucking apologetic.
Yesterday, at 4-30 pm, bright sun shining, sea waves crashing, cars rushing past and people, walking in groups etc, a 17 year old college student was raped by a police constable at Marine Drive - one of the most populated areas in Mumbai. A place where I walk, catch buses, drive, eat icecream. A place which is supposed to be the safest spots atleast during the afternoon. But oh, I forgot, when the upholders of the law are busy raping young girls, then safety does not enter into the picture.
Know what our problem is? We Indians are always fucking in denial. We deny the presence of hippocracy in our so called culture, we deny ourselves progressive advancements, we deny ourselves our very own freedom. We are pathetic deniers. And then we make big statements about hey, India is going to be another super power in the next, and there will be this nonsense time frame which will be loudly stated by some Minister who is 60 years and probably as literate as the lady who comes to clean my office toilets. Super power? Sure, super power in increasing crime rates, violation of women's rights and everything which is a direct ticket to hell.
Why should I be scared of walking down a road, fearing disgusting lewd comments? Why is it understood that a woman is supposed to get turned on by watching an ugly, dark man who I would never consider as my social equal scratch his genitals? Why do I need to have a separate ladies compartment in a local train, though considering the number of sexual crimes that have occurred in such places, that is also a redundancy? Is this country ours too? Or, is there only one gender on this planet? Men. Men. Men. Except for the intelligent ones, who may be considered the educated lot, the rest are like a sick disease. They rape. They fucking abuse. They hit. Alright, so maybe even the educated ones do too. But atleast then we educated women can drop them. Education is important. But more essential is intelligence.
I am really worried as to what sort of place will this world be in the future. It will definitely be a place for no children.
The constable was beaten up by a mob once they heard the girl's screams. I personally would have taken him by the balls, made him watch while I cut off his penis and then burnt him alive.
The bastard.

Just one point. Civility is not really related to intelligence. "Intelligent" men are probably just as likely to be rapists as "unintelligent" men. (The reason for the quotes is that I doubt if it's possible to determine clearly who's intelligent and who's not.) Education would help, I suppose.
3quarters, —What do you mean by this: "justice was served and people have learnt a lesson"?
Think u open the news paper, read a col which says a 17 year ol raped taht to by a policeman next story our politicians not handling the Indo-Bangladesh Border tussle... and BSF people loosing life .... I mean wtf I was angry enuf to hav shot the bastard if he were in front of me or i had a remote method of making him suffer
......or just get him castrated
fuck man !! I always had a sense of pride of being an Indian and these ppl are tryin to taint my jingoism ......
no wonder i don't read the newspapers. i kinda like it when i'm oblivious to the worries of my own ppl. me sick? i know.
seriously people, it's okay to say we'd react like this in such a situation, but i really think that the 'civilian' attitude is lacking in us. even the educated ones. how many of us have helped old people cross roads?
Maam ,with all due respect u oversimplify things, and then tend to amplify then.
[Elaborating]
as ashok said civility!=intelligence
"the rest are like a sick disease. They fucking abuse. They hit. Alright, so maybe even the educated ones do too"
Believe me this kind of a treatment is not only restricted to females. Males do it to other males 2.Let me change that - even females do that ... The thing is anyone who believes he has power (cant be harmed by you) in our nation has a habit of wanting to show it in some or the other exercise. Females just werent a majority in this [power-bloc] for a long time. But as their number increase so will their abuses : in equal proportions to men.
It is never about sex m'lady.
Always about power...
This is in reply to what Axe has written -
"Females just werent a majority in this [power-bloc] for a long time. But as their number increase so will their abuses : in equal proportions to men.

First, women are the gentler sex, remember? We do not particularly care for cock fights. Second, power and power blocs are nothing but manifestations of the sexual self. So all the drivel about females being abusive is nothing short of hogwash.
Oh well ... in for a dime - in for a dozen .
LEmme clarify - firstly i am not endorsing current male behaviour . I am as repugnated with these incidents as any nun.
Now thats out of the way >>>
>>> women are the gentler sex, remember?
- Whoa .... women are the gentler sex . Big statement . You honestly believe that ?? Get rid of that illusion m'lady .Just being born with two same chromosomes does not make a person "gentler".
>> Second, power and power blocs are nothing but manifestations of the sexual self.
- You are totally missing the point . I am not ostracising females . I am just pointing out they are in the end "homo sapiens" too .... and reversing the roles - will just reverse the scenerio ... not improve it.
Dont abuse the males. The society as a whole is responsible - including you and me.
>>So all the drivel about females being abusive is nothing short of hogwash.
-What on eart are u talking about ?? Females are as abusive as any other gender - perhaps not overtly like males because then they would be decked on the nose :).
A woman was raped by 7 men,in Bangalore University,2 weeks later this incident.
Its good that the news have made good rounds in Mumbai.The Bangalore incident was given very low coverage in the papers.I had to wait a few days before manually posting this news in the bangalore orkut community,where people were busy playing games.
Yep,its a long way to go.
Arun, did I say we women folks are bold? What's your point? You can say high handedly that 1000 women pimps engage girls from villages into hard core sex and rich ladies pick up guys in Nariman point and there are stories of women raping men too. Ye, yes....but do you have statistics? Can you prove that in an hour, two, er, men are raped daily?
About rich ladies picking up men; so you are saying is that men can basically go to prostitutes for gratification but when women do that, it's either women showing off their bold side or they are cheapening themselves?
We women are bold, true. But the sad thing is that men like you have effectively managed to turn that boldness into something quite degrading.
...To everyone....
Yes a degrading, horrendous, disgusting, shameful act was committed. We agree to it and we also believe that the cop's balls should be chopped and he should be severely punished.
I just have one question to ask: What about the girl? The 17-year old who is almost now made to feel like an untouchable by her parents, the neighbourhood she lives in. By the same Sharma uncle who used to treat her like her daughter now tells his daughter not to interact with her. Don't you think that this attitude against the victim [though I would hate to call her that] needs to stop? How many so-called NGO's are striving towards this? Don't we all have the right to live with dignity?
Justice had to be served - may be because the incident took place in a metropolis like Bombay. What about the villages of India? Bihar? B'Lore [Yes you are right Vishnu!!]?
Its not about the battle of the sexes as far as I am concerned. Sexual abuse does not restrict itself to gender, so that question does not arise. What needs to be done is get women and men enrolled in self-defense classes [one option that I would definitely consider] and may be there are more means to deal with it.
I think this is what democracy does to you. Makes you too free for your own good. Its bloody stupendous to say that the cop was incited by what the girl was wearing - now one cannot wear what one wants to...
At the end of the day, are women dependent on men for their security? Anyway, what did those two guys do who were with her? One of them said, "I respected the cop's uniform". Bollocks!! I hate to see the day when women are so dependent on men. Shameful. For all of us. And somewhere down the line I thought Bombay was safe.
Enraged are u? want to fight.
a post, thats all !!! is it all the fight.
justice was not served there.
u`r blog was fun reading, filthy abuses serves no end.
The dark, old men turn on nobody, they know it, but why accuse dark old men? only.
if the incident is still closer to heart. try making a differnce.
p.s:
things loose their emotional value overtime, actually the blog today sounds erotic.
It's a sad situation. Have grown so sick of rape news that have stopped going through newspapers. However think of it: it's unlikely that the no. of rapes have increased, I am pretty sure that the no. of rape cases being reported has increased due to an increased confidence in the law and a healthy acceptance of victim by the society.

Simply chopping his nuts off would be far too humane. He should be set up with a horny stallion first so that he knows what it feels like.
Great democracy we have here.
