Another Rape in India...

Yesterday a little girl's body was found in woods in Assam, India. Apparently she was raped tortured and killed. The monster who did this said that he wanted to take revenge on the family.

Raping a little girl to take revenge? This freaking awful man and the thought makes me sick.This is not the only time I heard about this revenge rape, Its a pretty common thing atleast in India. Words are not enough to describe how disgusting it is to hear how common rape is in my homeland and its committed to punish someone.

Is Rape part of our culture? I guess I cant really take the answer as yes. I am not all objective when it come to judging Indian culture. Why doesn't this sort of rape as revenge does'nt happen in western societies? Why is it only in our society we hear and see this? Now now, lets not compare ourselves to those countries which haven't developed at all, I am not taking any names here. All said and done, women are considered property atleast in rural and uneducated parts of India, may this the part of the reason of hurting women to hurt the family psyche

The other reason may be the taboos we have around anything sexual in our society, which may cause lot of repression of ideas and wants and who knows would turn a normal man into a sexual monster. I am not sure about this second reason, but as I said this may be reason for the rapes in India.

This psycologist seems to concur with me

"If we are getting cosmopolitan where sense of belonging is less, there is need for outlets for example in red light areas. The minor is an easy prey. There are a lot of policies for the girl child which perhaps haven't been implemented or even monitored," said Sangita Goswami, a counselling psychologist.

Recently there were a spate of rapes in Delhi, A Swedish diplomat, was raped in the heart of Delhi and Police haven't found the culprit as yet. Can there be any justification for this crime? None in my book, he should be given the punishment of worst kind.

The only solution to this problem as many problems in India is women empowerment. As long we treat women as property there is no way we can be part of the developed world, we will called a third world country no matter how hard we cry.
