Ms. Das has her own view about rapes and we should respect it.  However, this writer hold an opinion that a strict punishment in place for the rapists definitely serves as a deterrence to the culprits.  It is true that a display of cleavage and other parts of the body for females attracts the opposite sex, but there is no reason that the female community should be placed under any kind of restriction not to use moderate western clothes.  You don't want to take the country to the 7th century.  Therefore, in my opinion, moderate fashionable clothes are not the main reason of this problem, but the lack of severe punishment for such criminals is something the legislators ought to ponder upon.  Ms. Das is comparing the culture of other countries with the Indian culture which, in my opinion, is not the right way to handle this menace.  The purpose of enforcing strict punishment for such criminals is very psychological.  Once a criminal knows that there is a good possibility that he may be hanged, if proven guilty, he will think ten times before he proceeds for such crime.  THE BURDEN IS ON THE SHOULDERS OF INDIAN LAW MAKERS TO SAVE THE FABRIC OF A CIVILIZED SOCIETY BY ENACTING SEVERE PUNISHMENT - NO ONE SHOULD BE ABOVE THIS LAW - FOR RAPISTS.

What Mr. Attrey has been doing for the last 5-years is another addition to the chapter of rapists.  Everyday we read and hear stories of this type of crime which is sickening and degrading for the female community of India.  It needs to be stopped and the perpetrators ought to be punished severely.  It may need a constitutional amendment as to how to treat the MPs and other government officials at par with the ordinary citizens of India, but this is something the legislators have to think and think quickly before this menace gets out of hand.  In this writer's opinion, the rapists- once proven guilty - should be put behind bar without parole for life at least.  This law ought to be applicable on the same basis irrespective of his caste, creed, party affiliation, age and the status in the society.  A more serious crime like what happened in the case of Delhi gang-rape, rapists ought to be hanged in public to set an example for the future such criminals.  THIS SOCIETAL PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE TACKLED NOT WITH FRIENDLY GLOVES, RATHER HAS TO BE HANDLED WITH A HEAVY HANDEDNESS.

What Mr. Owaisi is doing is simply inciting the Muslim community of India against the non-Muslims.  It ought to be declared as unacceptable act.  His stay in London needs to be probed whether he has some genuine medical problem which cann't be treated in India or is he trying to escape imprisonment.  The Indian Government should seek assistance from the local government in London to release Mr. Owaisi unless his medical situation is so acute and unique that he has to receive medical treatment in London.  I heard his speeches and to me he did not show any medical problems in his voice.  He was roaring like a lion prompting the audience to rise against the Hindus.  Yes, there have been complaints filed against him, but the question is what type of treatment he will get if he is sent to the prison.  If he is going to be treated like a Maharaja in the prison, he will never change his attitude.  People like him ought to be declared as 'traitors' first and then need to be handled differently.  He does not need a treatment with friendly gloves, rather he needs to be assigned a hard labor in the prison to set an example for others who might be contemplating following the same path.  IT IS AN APPROPRIATE TIME FOR THE INDIAN GOVERNMENT TO MAKE SOME CHANGES IN THE INDIAN CONSTITUTION AND HANDLE THESE GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS LIKE ORDINARY CITIZENS - WHETHER THEY ARE GUILTY OF CORRUPTION, RAPE OR ANTI-INDIAN SPEECHES.

Mr. Owaisi is one of many Muslims in India who are inciting Muslims against non-Muslims.  They are the crop of bad seeds in a society who need to be properly fertilized and irrigated.  what is warranted right now is to probe thoroughly who their supporter is and their long term motive.  Needless to say, these type of people are enemies of India, they are ungrateful people and they don't even realize for a second that they are hurting the same land they live on, the land which provides them food and shelter.  They obviously are the mouth piece of some anti-Indian sect which needs to be shut.  The local government's step to level charges against Mr. Owaisi is a step in the right direction.  In this writer's opinion, these type of speeches ought not to be allowed and these speakers should be declared as 'traitors' and brought to justice without wasting too much time.  Democracy may be one of the best governing systems in the world, but under no circumstances the soft tenets of the system should be allowed to be exploited.  These misguided individuals while living under the democratic system take everything for granted.  They need to be punished severely.  IT IS THE RIGHT TIME FOR THE INDIAN GOVERNMENT TO SHOW SOME TEETH TO HANDLE THIS ON GOING PUSH ON THE PART OF FANATIC MUSLIMS.

This is another case of on going saga on the rape cases.  This 17-years old was raped by two boys by offering her a drink which was mixed with intoxicated substance.  This sounds like a pre-planned act on the part of these criminals.  After reading these news about the sub-human behavior of male vs. female, one wonders how many more females have to face this type of degrading treatment before the judicial system tighten its noose around the neck of such criminals.  These rape cases in India are propping up like mushrooms.  It seems like no one in authority cares about doing anything to stop this societal menace.  This writer has a firm belief that inaction about this matter will lead to catastrophic societal consequences.  The leaders at the center and at the state levels ought to devote all their resources to curb this menace before it gets out of hand.  When I say 'out of hand', it is not a far fetched statement.  The situation is almost there.  Therefore, the pressure is on the political leaders, cops and the community workers to solve this riddle and, in my opinion, the only solution to this enigma is to enact a tough anti-rapist law with no ambiguities.  Attorneys should not have any room to wiggle through the wording to find loopholes in this law.  THE WHOLE WORLD IS WATCHING WHAT THE INDIAN LEADERS DO IN THIS MATTER.

Here is another addition to the on going saga of rapists.  This Congressman in Assam raped a mother of two children.  Even though he was humiliated in open by the local residents, it is not an adequate punishment for such criminals.  Country needs a law which will be applicable and adhered to by all the states of India to eradicate this menace.  Women need equal and full respect in the society.  These type of criminals and even supporters of these criminals should be brought to justice without wasting any more time.  May be special courts need to be established across the country just to hear the rape cases so that they can be disposed of quickly.  As we know, there are so many such cases languishing in the Indian courts which need to be resolved urgently with a severe punishment.  The idea of awarding harsh/severe sentence is to set an example for the future criminals who might be contemplating repeating the same crime.  In the opinion of this writer, no rapist, once proven, should be given less than a life imprisonment without parole.  During the imprisonment, they ought to be required to work hard labor, and this principal needs to be applicable to all such prisoners irrespective of their party affiliation,  gender, caste, creed and a status in the society.  Any recommendation or support from any one for such criminals needs to be highlighted so that the whole country becomes aware of people who have a soft corner in their heart for such crimes.  IT IS THE DEMAND OF TIME THAT THE INDIAN GOVERNMENT TAKES AN  OWNERSHIP OF THIS ISSUE AND DO SOMETHING CONCRETE TO ERADICATE THIS MENACE FROM THE INDIAN TERRITORY.

This type of heinous crime ought to be handled with a severe punishment.  These criminals treated a female mercilessly and, in my opinion, they should be paid in the same coin.  Death penalty being asked by the prosecutor is justified.  Mr. Throor, one of the state ministers has very rightly suggested to name the pending anti-rape law after the name of the victim, if there is no objection from her parents.  I am astonished to see the picture of one of the culprits whose face is hidden behind a mask.  It is not fair.  The faces of all these culprits should be shown to the whole world and then hang them in public to set a precedence for future criminals who might be contemplating repeating the same crime.  Also, it will help the incumbent government to expedite this case and award the death penalty to all culprits- including the juvenile.  Age should not have any consideration in this matter.  Once the anti-rape law is enacted, it should apply to all rapists irrespective of their age, caste, creed, party affiliation and a status in the society.  IT IS A HIGH TIME FOR THE GOVERNMENT TO BECOME PROACTIVE BY ENACTING A SEVERE ANTI-RAPE LAW TO PROTECT THE FABRIC OF A CIVILIZED SOCIETY.
