IS INDIA A LAND OF RAPE?

With my head down in shame as an Indian – not by choice but by force – I strongly condemn the horrendous rape and brutal physical assault on a 23 year old medical student in Delhi, the capital of India, by the 5 or 6 barbarian Indians. It is said that every 40 minutes one rape occurs in India and yet they remain away from Police notice. It looks India is become a country of Rapes only where females are become easy victims for the bastardised Indians because the bastardised Police Force and Politicians are immune to the plight of rape victims.

Immediately following this rape the Police Chief of Delhi when questioned by one TV Channel, he replied accusing the society. He should know that if society is so upright then why there should be a need of Police Force? Police are brought into the picture just because society is weak to control such crimes. Indian Police force is the most corrupt in the world because they are protecting the wrong doers with the help of bribe and also thru the instruction of politicians.

If such crimes can take place easily in Delhi which is the Capital of India then what about other less known places in India? I cannot understand why India has reached to such ebb!! India by our elders was called the land of sages and saints but now India is become the land of Barbarians and Rapists. It is a shame for civilized Indians to be the citizens of India where there is nothing good.

It is nice and encouraging to see students coming out on to the streets in support of the victim girl not only in Delhi but also in other parts of India including Kashmir. Up to now I did not notice any students group in Goa coming out on to the streets in solidarity with the raped girl. Goan students must also show their solidarity to their fellow student raped in Delhi.

I ON MY PART STRONGLY CONDEMN THE RAPE OF A MEDICAL STUDENT IN DELHI AND SHOW MY SOLIDARITY WITH ALL WHO ARE WITH THE VICTIM.

According to the available information, the raped girl and her companion had argument with the rapist gang when they approached her in the Bus with sexual advances. Then the process started not only of raping by all the gang members but also physically abusing and attacking the girl and her companion. Normally a rapist is the one who is burning with anger and this anger he releases on his victim and if the victim resists the rapist’s attempt then the rapist becomes more violent turning his total anger physical and sexual on his victim. This was what has happened to the poor girl in Delhi since doctors treating her said that such physical and sexual injuries they have never seen before. Such is the degree of attack made by those wild animals on the 23 year old medical student.

While pondering over this ugly incident of rape in Delhi I thought of George Bernard Shaw who once remarked thus “WHEN RAPE IS INEVITABLE, THE GIRL SHOULD JUST LIE DOWN AND ENJOY” without any resistance because if you resist the rapist will even kill you.

GOA CM PROMOES CORRUPT OFFICIAL.

By Aires Rodrigues

On what basis does Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar claim that corruption has come down by 50 per cent? Despite fear of a backlash by this government the complaints at the Vigilance department are mounting. Those having the Chief Minister’s blessings are managing to get the complaints against them shelved in cold storage.

Manohar Parrikar’s appeal that people should co-operate to ensure a corrupt free state is deceptive. I have personally drawn his attention to a couple of cases but the Chief Minister conveniently chose to look the other way. Despite an F.I.R of corruption being registered against the then Director of Prosecution Mrs. Shobha Dhumaskar, the Chief Minister high handedly gave her two extensions in service. Was that Zero tolerance to corruption. The Chief Minister should stop making any further promises and just start delivering on the pending pile up.

 

The Chief Minister does not want a sturdy Lokayukta because the corrupt deeds and blatant acts of maladministration by this government will stand further exposed. The earlier Congress government was very corrupt so is this one. Only the agents, brokers and beneficiaries have changed. You know it all, Mr. Chief Minister.
