Delhi Rape Capital: India 3rd in rapes. Woman raped every 20 minutes in India

Delhi is the rape capital of the world.
The latest rape statistics released by the Indian National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) has once again put Delhi on top of the shame table with Mumbai is a close second on the list.

Rape cases in India more than doubled between 1990 and 2008, and national crime records show that 228,650 of the 256,329 violent crimes recorded last year had women as victims. The conviction rate for rape cases is 26 per cent.

According to experts only about ten percent of the rapes are reports. The TOI reports, that Delhi registered 568 cases of rape, compared to 218 in Mumbai in 2011 according to NCRB records. In the 2007-2011 period, Delhi topped the chart, followed by Mumbai, Bhopal, Pune and Jaipur.

_
While there is much chagrin in Bharat and the West over the latest rape in a moving bus–the Western media is silent. The Rape NGOs in America and Europe are silent, and the silence is deafening.
More than ten million Dalit women are raped. While they are untouchable but they are raped.
More than 2000 rape victims in Kashmir have come forward, but their cases are not heard, because the army is the culprit.

India stands third when it comes to rape cases, latest data of the Union Home Ministry suggest. Ahead of India are only the United States and South Africa.
According to the data, 18,359 rape cases were registered in India in the first three quarters of this year while in the US, 93,934 and in South Africa 54,926 rape cases were registered respectively.
According to the data, the incidence of various crime per one lakh population in India are — murder (3), sex offences (4), rape (1.7), serious assault (24.6) robbery and violent theft (2.1), breaking and entering (8.2) and theft of motor cars (7.8).
According to the latest figures released by the Government of India, a woman is now raped in India every 20 minutes. Despite the increase in sexual violence the number of convictions is falling in Bharat.
In the past year there have been a number of high-profile cases which have caused outrage across the nation.
One of the most shocking attacks happened in the state of Haryana where the victim waived her right to anonymity. There Sixteen-year-old Shabnam was gang raped by eight men from her village. Her attackers took videos on their mobile phones.
When Shabnam’s father discovered that the images were being shared around the village he committed suicide out of shame.
But the brave schoolgirl wants the world to know what happened because she says too many victims are either too afraid or too ashamed to speak out.
“I don’t want the sacrifice of my father to be wasted,” she said. “I’ve decided to get them all punished so that whatever happened with me should never happen to anybody else again.”
The rise in sexual assaults in Haryana reflects what is happening in other states across India.
The reasons:

• A preference for sons and the illegal practice of female infanticide and foeticide have left the state with a badly skewed sex ratio.
• In Haryana there are just 830 girls per 1,000 boys.
• Women’s rights campaigner Rishi Kant says the problems are deep rooted within Indian society.
• “Because of these problems we are facing with female infanticide and foetcide, due to (the fact there are) less girls, young boys are doing all these crimes which are very heinous crimes and they should be booked immediately with a fast track court so that a proper sentence can be given against them.”
• Campaigners say India’s laws for the protection of women are robust but are demanding better policing and stiffer jail terms.

My views regarding 'GIRLS SAFETY'.!

2 points I want to add here..
Need of hour:
1.Change is required in the mentality of boys.
2.'Awareness among girls 'and this is very important.. girls can waste their time on facebook-social networking sites, can surf internet, can do every thing but she will never  bother herself to search for some self defence videos etc.
The girl in delhi rape case was also a simple girl as we are.. and we think nothing wrong can happen to us..But how are you all so sure about this??
No one knows whats going to happen in future so why are you are not worried for YOUR safety??
Don't you want an independent life???

Delhi rape case was really shocking and i am not able to figure how one can come out of that incident but I know one thing if she would have learnt some techniques then maybe she could have atleast tried..
All rape cases are not same..some are gang rape.. but we still 'WE GIRLS' can make a difference we can atleast fight back..!
Awareness is required in society too but firstly we girls should change our WAY OF THINKING, OUR VIEWPOINT..!

So, i just want to say my dear readers especially my female friends..We don't know what is going to happen in future so just make yourself ready to face even the worst situation..
Be alert, Be safe.!
We all say normally 'NO ONE CAN TOUCH ME, I WILL DO THIS AND THAT.. bla bla..' But just think what you will do and HOW??
Today i will not give any link regarding self defence videos etc which are already posted on my this blog BECAUSE one thing is very clear to me today NO ONE IS HAVING ANY TIME FOR WATCHING THOSE..now you all are worried, tensed and want to do something regarding these rape cases. But Is this necessary to find a solution to a problem when something bad has badly shaken you..Why can't you try out to figure out the solution earlier in the beginning only???

On the whole i just want to say that PLEASE WAKE UP MY FRIENDS..! Its never too late for doing something good..try to be independent..try to fight back..Its your life..!!

Punish the culprits, says Delhi rape victim

NEW DELHI: The 23-year-old woman who was gangraped four days ago by a bunch of men in a moving bus, wants her tormenters to be punished.

She has been communicating by writing notes to her parents.

"The culprits should be punished," she wrote in one note; in another, she enquired after her male friend who had tried to defend her and was beaten, a doctor at Safdarjung Hospital told IANS.

In one note, the victim asked if the culprits had been arrested; in another, she enquired after her male friend who was beaten up by the six accused. The woman and her male friend were stripped, robbed and then dumped by the roadside by the six men in a private bus. The torture lasted about 40 minutes.

The four men arrested for having tortured and gang-raped the physiotherapist, have shown no remorse. Investigators said that they behaved like hardened criminals.

"None of the accused have shown even an iota of remorse or any kind of regret for what they have done," a senior police officer interrogating the four men told IANS.

Observing their demeanour, police said they would verify whether the men have criminal records.

"Their involvement in cases not yet reported might surface," another investigator said.

Meanwhile, doctors said that she was conscious and in a stable condition but warned that  there was still danger of infection setting in during the next few days.

"She continues to be in stable condition," B.D. Athani, medical superintendent of the Safdarjung Hospital, told reporters.

"She is alert, conscious. She is making an attempt to breathe on her own. Our immediate and foremost aim is to get her out of ICU and get her stable," said Athani, who was flanked by a panel of six doctors who are treating the girl.

"She is stable but there is still a danger of her catching infection," he said.

Doctors have been admiring the young woman's fortitude and grit, despite the intense pain: "Being a medical student, she understands the treatment process and has been cooperating with the hospital staff. Her lower vagina has been badly damaged, but her upper vagina is not so affected. If she comes out of this crucial phase, she could lead a normal life," the doctor told IANS, on condition of anonymity.

According to a doctor, who is treating her, they have a "extremely unusual case".

"For the past 30 years as a surgeon..I have not seen such a grave injury to the intestines in any case of sexual assault. It is extremely unusual and rare.. none of us has seen such a case," Sunil Jain, a specialist in general surgery at Safdarjung Hospital, said.

Calling her a "brave girl," Athani said she had withstood a lot of suffering in the last few days and had undergone two surgeries since her admission Sunday night.

"She is fighting it out. The girl has an immense fighting spirit ..needless to say, because today (Thursday) is the fourth day ..she has sustained such grievous injury and remained alert and withstood it all," Athani said.

Doctors from the adjoining All India Instititute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) are also providing assistance.

The doctor also said that the young woman knew that her torture and gang-rape by six men in a moving bus had left the nation shocked, and that there has been a massive outpouring of grief and expressions of support.

Delhi police official said the horrific incident took place when the young couple reached Munirka in south Delhi around 9.15 pm Sunday after watching a movie and boarded a stationary bus to go to Dwarka.

Around six men in the bus, including the driver and conductor, allegedly misbehaved with the woman. When the boyfriend intervened, he was brutally beaten up with iron rods. She was then sexually assaulted in the moving bus.

The girl and her boyfriend were then thrown out of the bus under Mahipalpur flyover in south Delhi. The assailants also snatched their mobiles.

A toll plaza patrol vehicle spotted the girl and her friend and called the police, who took them to Safdarjung Hospital around 12.15 a.m. Monday.

The woman's ordeal, a police officer said, lasted for 45 long minutes.

Its really shameful and shocking..!

Delhi gang-rape: Victim's parents want rapists hanged

New Delhi: Even as the nation demands strictest possible action against the accused in the brutal gang-rape of a 23-year-old para-medic student, her family has said that they want the rapists to be hanged.

Union Minister Krishna Tirath on Wednesday visited the family of the victim in the Safdarjang Hospital.

The minister reportedly said that the victim’s parents want death punishment for the rapists.

Even Prime Minister Manmohan Singh today described the gang-rape of the student as “a heinous crime,” adding it was “very upsetting”.

The PM also directed the Home Minister to ensure culprits are brought to book and such incidents are not repeated.

The 23-year-old girl meanwhile continues to battle for her life at the Safdarjung Hospital. Doctors today performed a second surgery on her.

The biggest problem being faced by the doctors is said to be septicaemia - a systemic infection, usually caused by bacteria of various types contaminating a person’s blood. In the girl’s case, Septicemia may have been caused due to the cuts she was inflicted with becoming infected.

The next 24 hours are critical for the girl; if she pulls through, her chances of survival will improve.

Two of the four accused, meanwhile, confessed to the crime before a court.

Vinay Sharma confessed to beating up the victim’s male friend and demanded that he be hanged.

“I have committed a horrible crime. I had beaten up the boy. I should be hanged,” Vinay told the court.

Pawan also said he had committed a “heinous act” and was ashamed of himself, but refused to undergo an identification parade.

The third accused, Mukesh – who is the brother of main accused Ram Singh – did not confess to the crime but agreed to undergo identification test by the victim's male friend.

Ram Singh, the driver of the bus, was yesterday sent to five-day police custody.

Facts About Date-Rape Drugs

What are date-rape drugs?
These are drugs that are sometimes used to assist in committing a sexual assault. Sexual assault is any type of sexual activity that a person does not agree to. Because of the effects of these drugs, victims may be physically helpless, unable to refuse sex, and unable to remember what happened. The drugs often have no color, odor or taste and are easily added to flavored drinks without the victim’s knowledge. 

What are the most common date-rape drugs?
GHB (gamma hydroxybutyric acid), ketamine and rohypnol are the most common date-rape drugs. Street names for GHB include Grievous Bodily Harm, Liquid G, Liquid Ecstasy, Somatomax, Cherry Meth, Easy Lay and Gamma 10. Street names for ketamine include Special K, Ket and K, Vitamin K, Kit Kat, Keller, Cat Valium, Purple and Super C. Street names for rohypnol include Roofies, R2, Roofenol, Roche, Roachies, La Rocha, Rope, Rib, Circles, Mexican Valium, Roach-2, Roopies, Ropies, Forget Pill, Trip-and-Fall and Mind Erasers.
There are other drugs that affect judgment and behavior, and can put a person at risk for unwanted or risky sexual activity. Alcohol is one of those drugs, and can result in impaired judgment, less ability to protect oneself and blackouts or memory loss. 

What do these drugs look like?
GHB comes in a liquid with no odor or color, a white powder and a pill. Ketamine is a white powder and Rohypnol is a pill that dissolves in liquid. 

What are the effects of GHB on the victim?

• drowsiness
• dizziness
• slow heart rate
• nausea
• loss of consciousness
• inability to remember what happened while drugged
• seizures
• coma, death

What are the effects of ketamine on the victim?

• hallucinations
• lost sense of time and identity
• agitation, aggressive or violent behavior
• convulsions
• loss of consciousness
• loss of coordination
• potentially fatal respiratory failure

What are the effects of rohypnol on the victim?

• lower blood pressure
• sleepiness
• muscle relaxation or loss of muscle control
• visual disturbances
• loss of consciousness
• problems talking
• inability to remember what happened while drugged
• nausea

How can a woman protect herself from date-rape drugs?
Whether you are at a bar, restaurant or in any public setting, keep yourself and your friends safe by doing these simple things:

• Never leave your drink unattended.
• Do not accept open-container drinks from anyone but a bartender or server. If you are accepting a drink, make sure it is from an unopened container and that you open the container yourself.
• Be wary about accepting drinks from anyone you do not know well or long enough to trust.
• Attend parties or visit bars with a group of friends, arranging beforehand to watch each other’s drinks.
• If you arrive as a group, leave as a group.
• Watch out for your friends. If a friend shows symptoms of date-rape drug ingestion, seek medical attention immediately.
• Notify other females you know about the effects of these dangerous drugs.
• If you think that you have been a victim, notify the authorities immediately.

 What should a woman do if there is a suspected assault? 
 If you are ill or injured, go a hospital emergency department for treatment. If you want to report the incident, call the police and preserve the evidence – do not shower, change clothes, or brush your teeth – until you get a medical exam. Try not to urinate until medical/legal evidence is collected at the hospital. Your urine can be tested for the presence of sedating drugs. The sooner you get to the hospital, the more likely the drug will be found in your system.

As you all know 'Veera' in punjabi means elder brother so this word itself is very close to my heart and brother-sister relationship is cutest and best relationship. So personally i just love this show..Just Amazing and very cute serial.

ATTENTION PLEASE..!!!

Share with everybody you know, particularly your wife, sisters, daughters, nieces, mother, female friends and colleagues.

At a petrol pump, a man came over and offered his services as a painter to a lady filling petrol in her car and left

his visiting card. She said nothing but accepted his card out of sheer kindness and got into the car. The man then got into a car driven by another person.
As the lady left the service station, she saw the men following her out of the station at the same time. Almost immediately, she started to feel dizzy and could not catch her breath. She tried to open the window and realised that the odour was on her hand; the same hand with which she had received the card from the person at the service station.
She then noticed the men were immediately behind her and she felt she needed to do something at that moment. She drove into the first driveway and began to honk her horn repeatedly to ask for help.
The men drove away but the lady still felt pretty bad for several minutes after she could finally catch her breath.
Apparently, there was a substance on the card that could have seriously injured her.
This drug is called 'BURUNDANGA'. (Not known To People So Far but sufficient Information Is available in the Net) and it is used by people who wish to incapacitate a victim in order to steal from or take advantage of them. This drug is four times more dangerous than the date rape drug and is transferable on a simple card or paper.. So please take care and make sure you don't accept cards when you are alone or from someone on the streets. This applies to those making house calls and slipping you a card when they offer their services.

Yes .. Such Incident Can Happen With Everyone ..
Be Safe

What does Burundanga mean?

Apr 19, 2009, 03.29am IST

Burundanga is the other name of the drug 'Scopolamine', used for criminal activities like rape or to rob innocent victims. The drug is passed on to the victim through business cards, pamphlets, etc. Even if the skin, through touch, absorbs just a very small quantity of the drug it has the desired effect. The drug is also administered through tablets added to drinks. This is known as the 'dating drug'.

My 101th post dedicated to someone very special--MY CUTIE PIE..!

Meet My Gorgeous-Dazzling Niece..!!!

And special thanks to all my readers and supporters..!! :)

Wana be Independent and free from Fear???

ONLY FOR THOSE GIRLS WHO WANT'S TO FIGHT FOR THEIR SAFETY THEMSELVES..!! 

Elbow Strikes

Elbow strikes can be delivered assisted or unassisted. The elbows can be thrown forwards and back. Remember, never step in to deliver the elbow, but if he's already this close, it will help you get out!
Elbows are pointy and generally a strong point of impact. To avoid hurting your "funny bone" the point of impact could be the fore arm or bicep, depending on the direction of your strike. Be sure to torque your body when delivering the blow to add to the power. A strike can be delivered low or high, front or backwards.

Here the elbow is delivered unassisted, without the help of your other arm.

Here, the strikes are delivered with the assistance of the other arm. Grasp the fist of the associated elbow with the other hand. Use your entire torso to torque the blow.

Here it is delivered to the back assisted by the other arm. Use torque from the shoulders and hips to "Super-Size" the impact! If some one grabs you from behind they'll be surprised!

Here the elbow is thrown to the attackers solar plexus or his head, when he makes the mistake of not securing my arms. Same goes here- torque!

You could be a little more threatening, Sweetie!

Elbows can be used effectively in women's self defense. Used to impact pressure points you could buy enough time to run!

Ik Ghar Tera Jodeya Te Ik Jodan Challi Ni (Sharry Maan) Aate DI Chiri (Dedicated To Girls)

Basic Self-Defense Moves Anyone Can Do (and Everyone Should Know) Continues...!

The Most Effective Body Parts to Hit

 When you're in a confrontation, you only have a few seconds and a few moves to try before the fight may be decided. Before an attacker has gained full control of you, you must do everything you can—conserving as much energy as possible—to inflict injury so you can get away. (This is no time to be civil. In a physical confrontation that calls for self-defense, it's hurt or be hurt.) So aim for the parts of the body where you can do the most damage easily: the eyes, nose, ears, neck, groin, knee, and legs.

Su Ericksen, who writes the very helpful Self-Defense for Women website, offers techniques for striking these pressure points so you can defend yourself and get to safety. She writes:

Depending on the position of the attacker and how close he is will determine where you will strike and with what part of your body you will employ. Do not step in closer, say, to strike his nose with your hand, when you can reach his knee with a kick.
When striking a target on the upper half of the body you will use your hand. Effective strikes can be made with the outer edge of your hand in a knife hand position, a palm strike or knuckle blow for softer targets or a tightly curled fist.

Here are some photos Su offers on attacking these highly sensitive pressure points (you can view others for additional pressure points on her website):
 
Eyes: Gouging, poking, or scratching the attacker's eyes with your fingers or knuckles would be effective, as you can imagine. Besides causing a lot of pain, this should also make your escape easier by at least temporarily interfering with his vision.

 
Nose: If the attacker is close in front of you, use the heel of your palm to strike up under his nose; throw the whole weight of your body into the move to cause the most pain and force him to loosen his grip on you. If he's behind you, you can strike his nose (from the side or front) with your elbow. Either way, aim for the nasal bones.

 
Neck: The side of the neck is a bigger target, where both the carotid artery and jugular vein are located. You could possibly temporarily stun your attacker with a knife hand strike (all fingers held straight and tightly together, with thumb tucked and slightly bent at the knuckle) at the side of the neck. (For even more injury, you could thrust your elbow into your assailant's throat while pitching the weight of your body forward. See the Target Focus Training video below.)


Knee: Su says the knee is an ideal self-defense target, vulnerable from every angle and easily kicked without risk of your foot being grabbed. Kick the side of the knee to cause injury or partially incapacitate your attacker. Kicking the front of the knee may cause more injury but is less likely to result in imbalance.

Basic Self-Defense Moves Anyone Can Do (and Everyone Should Know)

Would you be able to defend yourself and your loved ones if someone were to physically attack you? It's a question most of us don't want to consider, but violence is, unfortunately, a fact of life. Thankfully, regardless of strength, size, or previous training, anyone can learn several effective self-defense techniques. Here's how to prepare for and stay safe in common real-world violent situations.

Get Loud and Push Back

 As soon as the attacker touches you or it's clear that escape isn't possible, shout loudly ("BACK OFF!") and push back at him or her (for simplicity's sake we're going to use "him" for the rest of the article, although your opponent could be female). This does two things: it signals for help and it lets the attacker know you're not an easy target. The video at top from Rob Redenbach, a former trainer of Nelson Mandela's bodyguards, shows why this is the first thing you need to do. It may not dissuade all attackers, but getting loud will warn off those that were looking for easy prey.

90% rapes consensual: Haryana Congress leader

Chandigarh: At a time when a spate of rape cases has brought shame to Haryana, a local Congress leader has raked up a controversy saying ‘majority of rapes in the state are consensual’.

Haryana Pradesh Congress Committee (HPCC) member Dharamvir Goyat made the controversial remarks at an interaction with media persons at Hisar on Thursday.

"If we go into the details of rape cases and abductions, it is found that victims and accused in 90% of cases are runaway couples. So the cases are consensual," Goyat was reported as saying by The Times of India.

The remarks drew sharp criticism, with the National Commission for Women chairperson Mamata Sharma asking Goyat to "respect women before making tardy assessments of such a heinous crime".

"Rape is a reproach on Haryana. Rather than suggesting measures to control and set his government's house in order, he's inciting more such cases" Sharma told the daily.

Just two days ago, opposition leader and INLD chief Om Parkash Chautala had seconded the Rohtak Khap’s suggestion that girls should be married young to prevent rape cases.

Referring to marriages during Mughal period, Chautala had said that "people would marry girls early during those days to prevent cases of rapes". He however retracted his endorsement later.

The Congress government in Haryana has been under fire after 17 rape cases were reported over the past one month in the state. Congress president Sonia Gandhi had on Tuesday visited the family of a Dalit rape victim in Jind. The girl had committed suicide after being gangraped.

Dear Readers, Do you think 'Marrying girls at young age' is the solution of this problem??? 

Smart self defense tips for women

Common sense is a powerful weapon that can fell any opponent. It helps you to come out of potentially dangerous arenas without a fight.

Unfortunately, this lesson is not imparted to most women in India. Naturally few use it when they are faced with piquant situations.

What should a woman do if she finds herself alone in the company of a strange male as she prepares to enter a lift in a high-rise apartment late at night?
There is nothing to fear.
Enter the lift. If you need to reach the 13th floor, press all the buttons up to your destination. No one will dare attack you in a lift that stops on every floor. Simple.

The examples are endless.

Most women I have met in my 30 years as a trainer in self-defence techniques harbour the illusion that one needs to be powerfully built to take on a male aggressor.
Many also feel that without knowing judo or karate, they can be easy victims to lecherous men.
Nothing can be farther from the truth.

In Bangalore and in several other cities, my team holds workshops to explain in detail to women how they can come under attack in the most unexpected circumstances.
So it is good to learn and understand simple but effective self-defence methods. These need not be based on a rigid set of rules.
Rather, your safety lies in your habits, attitudes and activities. It is also learning what handy tools you can convert into powerful weapons for your protection.

How to stay safe while traveling in a cab or a vehicle? How to use every inch of your body to develop devastating power? How to address real street situations? How to protect yourself from a much stronger attacker?

One can learn all this in a matter of hours.
If a stranger tries to attack you when you are alone in your house, run into the kitchen.
You alone know where the chili power and turmeric are kept. And where the knives and plates are. All these can be turned into deadly weapons.

If nothing else, start throwing plates and utensils all over. Let them break. Scream. Remember that noise is the greatest enemy of a molester. He does not want to be caught.

Before getting into an auto at night, note down its registration number. Then use the mobile to call your family or friend and pass on the details to them in the language the driver understands.
Even if no one answers your call, pretend you are in a conversation.
The driver now knows someone has his details and he will be in serious trouble if anything goes wrong. He is now bound to take you home safe and sound. A potential attacker is now your de facto protector!

What if the driver turns into a street he is not supposed to - and you feel you are entering a danger zone?
Use the handle of your purse or your stole (dupatta) to wrap around his neck and pull him back. Within seconds, he will feel choked and helpless.
What if you don't have a purse or a stole? Just pull him back by his collar. The top button of his shirt would then do the same trick.

If you are stalked at night, enter a shop or a house and explain your predicament. If it is night and shops are not open, go inside an ATM box.
ATM centres always have security guards. They are also monitored by close circuit television. Fearing identification, no one will dare attack you.
What is important is to stay cool at all times. When you have spare time, think of everyday situations where you can be in trouble. And how you can save yourself.

After all, being mentally alert is the greatest weapon you can ever have.

Gender got Talent!!! by Quadd [MUST READ]

I don't know what is happening these days, and why life is so surprising these days, I am discovering bitter realities of life and I don't know why every reality hurt these days.

Once again I have a story, and once again I don't want to write it. And I am not able to decide which genre I need to express this time. So, let the head think and let the fingers type, and see what comes up.

Picture Source

A famous TV show title read as "India Got Talent", and I know this is right. India got talent. But ever we hear such title for any TV show "Girls got talent" or "Boys got talent". I wonder when INDIA have no gender why talent have gender.

My readers will be surprised that out of the blue I am talking about gender of talent. Gender of talent? You must be thinking I am gone crazy. A thing which is not living got gender. But, I am not crazy. And If I am crazy, believe me my reader after few paragraphs you will also go crazy and start believing that even a non-living thing like Talent got gender.

As indiaonlinepages.com, says there are 591.4 million women in country by now (2012) from total population of 1.22 billion, which is around 48% of Indian population, from which 50% population are between age of 0-25.

As mapsofindia.com, says the literacy rate of women 64.46% as compared to 82.14% in males, whereas whole India Literacy rate is 74.04%, as per 2011 Census updated on 25 August 2011.

nlm.nic.in, gives following reasons for this literacy inequality:

1. Gender based inequality.
2. Social discrimination and economic exploitation.
3. Occupation of girl child in domestic chores.
4. Low enrolment of girls in schools.
5. Low retention rate and high dropout rate.

I will not go in detail of these reasons, because this is not my topic of today's writing. Because these facts don't matter, what matter is what we see and write.

My focus is on urban India, the most developed India, with modern culture, modern outfits and modern thinking. But is this urban India got truly modern or just got developed? This is a big question, lets try to find some answers.

I really subscribe to view of my 'International Politics' lecturer, Ms. Alka Vij, when in her mood she used to say this in between her classes, "Jeans to pehan li humne par, nayi soch nahi pa sake..", which in English means, We have started wearing modern outfits like jeans or denim but our thought is still not modern.

Honestly speaking I never understood the complete meaning of this statement of my teacher. At that time I thought she means to say that we wear modern outfits but we are not easy wearing them, because after wearing them either we feel special or we feel that we are revealing, and we like revealing is other part of the story. I related my this theory with girls and boys who wear jeans.

But now, I realize which deep thought she got behind this simple looking statement in Hindi. But I will come bit later to it.

One thing is very shocking, if we talk about rural areas, we can understand differences between male and female and their rudimentary thinking about women inferior to men and that they got separate jobs to do in social setup.

But in Urban areas, I have seen a new kind of differences:

1. A brother and sister studies at same school. They obviously live at same house, and they have same bus stop. Sister is younger to her brother. But, brother have subscribed to secure and comfortable school bus, whereas sister daily wait for public transport full of unknown persons, for her same destination of school and back home.
2. Another brother got cycle for reaching his tuitions. And his younger sister goes there by foot.
3. A brilliant elder sister, who has immense talent in particular subject and she managed to get a dignified position is council of that subject. But she can't do overtimes and can't work with full dedication at her post, as her teacher is male. And she can do that if her younger brother who is no way interested in her subject, join her on her duty.
4. Girls students in urban schools prefer to fail or have below standard performances rather to go for help to their male teachers, as they have strong instructions from parents of being aware.
5. Girls can't work on Internet on regular basis as compared to boys.
6. Girls can't use mobile phones, whereas boys at same house have 2-3 numbers....personal numbers.
7. If a girl have social network ID like facebook, they are definitely spoiled.
8. Wrong deed of a girl gets her a label for life, like if she had affair in past, so she have it with her name forever, which is highly unlikely for boys.
9. At last, girls have certain places to go, certain people to talk, certain topics to talk, whereas boys are free to explore and learn.

Now, if we see the results of all recent classes for any university and board, we have one common fact, TOPPERS ARE GIRLS!

And one common fact prevailed is, ITS CRAMMING! 

If its really cramming, then why don't boys do it and top!

Its a sheer talent that women proved on every front, provided whenever she got a chance to compete.

God have not seen gender while gifting talents, then why we see while training them. If we are afraid about their security, like teacher may abuse them or anyone do same with them, OK, then when we will give them chance to excel and A CHANCE TO BELIEVE THEMSELVES THAT THEY CAN SECURE THEMSELVES. When we will give them chance to be strong and stronger.

And question above all, is this security issue enough for ruining talents?

And why don't boys have this security issue, can't they be misused?

Yes then can be misused. BUT THE DIFFERENCE IS OF 'ACCEPTANCE' AFTER MISUSE. Girl's life is ended after such incident and Boy's get over just like any ordinary bad happening. Can't we give this Social Security to our daughters and sisters?

This rudimentary and narrow thinking, force us to think that genders got talent, like society give more freedom to boys as they are more talented and less freedom to girls as they are less talented. THE DIVISION WHICH GOD NEVER THOUGHT OF, BUT WE MADE IT A LAW OF NATURE!

And finally, I understood simple-looking statement of my teacher, We allowed our daughters and sisters that much of freedom which declare "US" MODERN in society. Apart from this modernity, urban and rural girls are no different in freedom and modernity.

And today when I realised this true meaning of my teacher's statement, I am not surprised only, also something within me is just choked and died.

Two arrested in Jind married woman's gang-rape case

Jind (Haryana), Sep 26 (IANS) After being accused of inaction over the last four days, Haryana Police Wednesday arrested two men who were allegedly involved in the gang-rape of a married woman in Pillukheda village of Haryana's Jind district, 200 km from Chandigarh.

Jind district police chief Sourabh Singh Wednesday said police were interrogating the duo and would soon arrest the main accused, Sandeep, who was still at large.

The victim had complained last Friday that three men raped her at gunpoint after forcibly entering her home.

 After her complaint, a special investigation team was constituted. Police have arrested Suraj and Azad, father of main accused Sandeep," Singh said.

The victim, who is in her mid-30s and is the mother of two children, and her husband Wednesday threatened to commit suicide outside the office of the superintendent of police here, alleging that Haryana Police were deliberately not taking any action against the accused.

In her complaint to the police, the victim said three youths entered her house Sep 21 (Friday) and raped her at gunpoint in the presence of her children.

"I filed a complaint with the police Sep 21 itself. The accused are roaming free but the police are not taking any action," the victim said.

Police registered a case of rape following her complaint but did not make any arrest.

The gang-rape of the married woman came close on the heels of another gang-rape of a teenaged Dalit girl by eight men in Hisar district earlier this month.

In neighbouring Hisar district, the father of a 16-year-old gang-rape victim committed suicide by consuming poison Sep 18 after he came to know that his daughter was gang-raped Sep 9 near Hisar by eight youths, who later circulated an MMS clip of the crime.

In that case, police have made nine arrests till Wednesday.

SHOCKING AND SHAMEFUL..!! 

Kaur :- "Princess" and "Lioness"

Kaur is a name used by Sikh women either as the middle name, or as a last name. It can be regarded as a true surname. The tenth guru of Sikhs, Guru Gobind Singh Ji, made it mandatory for Sikh females to use the name Kaur and for Sikh males to use the name Singh when he administered Amrit (baptism) to both males and female Sikhs. All female Sikhs were asked to use the name Kaur after their forename and males were to use the name Singh. (Since 'Kaur' means 'Princess'&'Lioness', it acts as a symbol of equality among males and females.) This custom further confirmed the equality of both genders as was the tradition set by the founder of Sikhism, Shri Guru Nanak Dev Ji. It was intended to give women a sense of self-respect. Singh is also used by some females because Singh can be a last name. It is the most common last name used by Sikhs.
Kaur provides Sikh women with a status equal to all men. This was also intended to reduce the prejudice created by caste-typing based on the family name. Prejudice based on caste was still rampant during Guru Gobind's time (17th century). This particularly affected women who were expected to take their husband's family name upon marriage. The British required women to take on their husbands' names.
Sikh principles believe that all men and women are completely equal. Therefore, a woman is a princess and can lead her own life as an individual, equal to man. She does not need a man's title to raise her own status. Saying this would go against the principles stated in the Sri Guru Granth Sahib, the religious text of Sikhism. Guru Nanak Dev Ji states:

English translation	From woman, man is born; within woman, man is conceived; to woman he is engaged and married. Woman becomes his friend; through woman, the future generations come. When his woman dies, he seeks another woman; to woman he is bound. So why call her inferior? From her, kings are born. From woman, woman is born; without woman, there would be no one at all.

Sunita Williams creates history

ISS astronauts take second spacewalk

  Moscow, Sep 6 (IANS) Indian-origin astronaut Sunita Williams and Japanese Akihiko Hoshide began a spacewalk Wednesday in another attempt to install a power unit on the International Space Station, RIA Novosti reported. 

The operation was broadcast live on NASA TV.

Their main task was to complete the installation of a spare power unit on the station's truss, which caused problems during an Aug 30 spacewalk.

Williams and Hoshide built some improvised tools to assist with their installation tasks, NASA said.

The spacewalk was scheduled to last 6.5 hours and included other tasks postponed from last week's excursion if the installation task is completed on time.

Last time, NASA Flight Engineer Williams and Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency Flight Engineer Hoshide spent eight hours and 17 minutes in space, but failed to install a new Main Bus Switching Unit (MBSU) on the ISS's s-zero truss as they had difficulties driving the bolts to secure the equipment.

The MBSU is a heavy component used to relay power from the station's solar arrays to its systems.
Williams and Hoshide's previous spacewalk was the third longest in history.
The longest of eight hours and 56 minutes was carried out by US astronauts Susan Helms and James Voss in 2001.

Newborn girl found partly buried in farm, survives

JAIPUR: In yet another incident of discrimination against the girl child, a newborn was found partially buried in an agriculture farm in Pawata village on the city outskirts on Thursday. She was rushed to a hospital where she was declared out of danger.

Doctors said she was born less then seven hours before she was spotted by a villager. Police have lodged an FIR against unidentified parents.

The police were informed about the infant about 6 pm on Thursday. "A woman was working in an agriculture field between Pawata and Pragpura villages when she heard the cries of a child. She went to the spot and found a girl wrapped in a piece of cloth," an officer said.

The woman told the police that some sand had been sprinkled on the girl's clothes to make her less visible from distance. The police rushed the girl to a primary health centre in Kotputli and later shifted her to a shelter home in Jaipur.

"She was partially buried, but it seems that she was spotted immediately after she was abandoned. So her condition was not serious. She was kept under observation throughout the night and then sent to a shelter home in Sodala area in Jaipur," said the officer.

"We have recorded the statements of some villagers who claim to have seen a woman. Records of nearby health centres and hospitals are being checked. The possibility of it being an institutional delivery is less," said the officer.

Several incidents of girl children being abandoned were reported in the state in the recent past. The state government had launched several measures to curb the practice of female foeticide and infanticide.

Shocking and Terrible..!

Value of "Rs 200"

In a shocking incident that has put humanity to shame, a newborn girl child died at a government hospital in Jalandhar (Punjab) after doctors removed her from the incubator because her parents could not pay Rs 200.

The girl child was born on July 20. Being a premature baby, she needed incubator support. However, civil hospital authorities asked her father to arrange money - to pay the electricity charges to run incubator – to continue keeping the baby in incubator.

A painter by profession, Sanjiv Kumar, could not arrange Rs 200 demanded by the hospital. The poor man asked many people to lend him money but no one came forward to help.

Despite Kumar’s inability to pay Rs 200, hospital authorities, showing no empathy, removed the incubator leading to the death of the baby on Wednesday night.

Kumar said, "The baby was very ill. They (hospital authorities) asked us to deposit Rs 200 first. We begged and pleaded them to admit our child but they refused."

He also alleged that the glucose drip was also removed from the baby for non payment of dues.

The child’s mother Sunita is inconsolable. “They killed my child,” she said.

Hospital CMO says that he can’t believe that an incident like this can happen. He has asked the baby’s father to submit a complaint and then he will look into the matter.

Meanwhile, the state government has ordered an inquiry into the incident.

The incident marks a new low in the absolute lack of compassion in our society. A baby loses life for Rs 200, what next?

Indian teens kill granny for Indian Premier League bets

PANAJI - Indian police in Goa said Thursday they had arrested two teenage males on suspicion of killing their grandmother and taking her money to gamble on Indian Premier League (IPL) cricket games.
The youngsters, aged 14 and 15, were among a gang of five held by police for the alleged murder of 65-year-old Linda Cajetan Andrade, who was found naked in her home last month.
The group are suspected of stealing 400,000 rupees (S$9,530) and some gold ornaments from her home.
"These boys wanted money to bet on the Indian Premier League and the (football) Euro cup," police superintendent Arvind Gawas told AFP, adding that the cash was used for betting but that it was unclear how much was gambled.
"After the murder and robbery they sold all the gold and distributed the money amongst themselves," he said. "They betted during the IPL and continued during the Euro cup."
The five accused were picked up from different locations in the south of the holiday state of Goa after one of them confessed to the crime, Gawas said.
Along with the grandsons are three males aged 15,19 and 21.

Google adds face blurring technology to YouTube

Google has added a new face blurring feature into YouTube in an effort to provide visual anonymity for video on the network. Google says the new feature has been added following a recent observation from human rights group called WITNESS that no social networking site offers such technology.

To use the feature, users need to select the video they want to edit within YouTube's Video Enhancement tool, then go to Additional Features and click the “Apply” button placed under the 'Blur All Faces' option. YouTube also lets you have a preview of the video before making it live. There is also an option to delete the non-blurred and original copy of the video from your account.

Google has explained the feature with an example of the Arab Spring protests in Egypt. The Internet giant, however, points out that this feature is an “emerging technology” and that it might not be 100 percent accurate.

“Whether you want to share sensitive protest footage without exposing the faces of the activists involved, or share the winning point in your 8-year-old’s basketball game without broadcasting the children’s faces to the world, our face blurring technology is a first step towards providing visual anonymity for video on YouTube,” says Google in a blog post.

Speaking about visual anonymity, Google says it is proud to be a home for activist videos, and hopes the new feature will encourage more people to speak out against oppression. "Visual anonymity in video allows people to share personal footage more widely and to speak out when they otherwise may not," the blog post further stresses.

"Because human rights footage, in particular, opens up new risks to the people posting videos and to those filmed, it's important to keep in mind other ways to protect yourself in the people in your videos. YouTube is proud to be a destination where people worldwide come to share their stories, including activists,” the post concludes.

In the recent past, Google has been using this technology to blur faces and licence plate numbers on its Street View mapping service.
