A girl liking a Facebook post gets immediate arrest but a gang rape requires "due process". The law here is a cruel joke.

@waglenikhil Also want to see what if a poor woman was the victim? Not a solid, middle-class, English speaking girl.

India anyway the lowest crime rate in the world | Sushil Kumar Shinde announces measures to make Delhi safer by MANJUL dated 12.20.2012
Delhi has a population of nearly 1.5 crore, (15 million).
Delhi’s population is more than the population of nearly a 100-countries of the world.
Can deviant behaviour by a couple of hundred people make Delhi the rape capital of India?

A cartoon on the infamous Lorena Bobbitt case. Is anti-men attitude valid and justified in India | Cartoon by Satish Acharya on December 19, 2012
If imprisonment can solve the crime problem, USA would not have the world’s largest prison, probation and prosecution numbers.
If executions can solve problems, after 30-years of executions, China would not have a corruption problem.
After 1300-years of cutting hands, legs, heads, fingers, the Islamic world is still not crime-free.
Deviants like these gang-rapists must be dealt with professionally.
Are these gang-rapists worth the anger, vindictiveness, vengefulness?
Have a quick trial – and ensure expedited appeals. Carry out the sentence.
Victim Women; Guilty Men
The very fact that we in India call molestation and rape, eve teasing is a clue to what we think of it.

To protect our women from rape, Our government should call those crazy Connecticut shooters from USA to do random massacre here in Delhi.

Why did only women parliamentarians stage a protest against rape? Do our male MPs believe this does not concern them?

#Rape is an outdated thing.Media is not anymore interested in rape.They r interested in gangrape.If u r not gangraped,none wll come 2 help u

For starts, Stop telling the stories of Rape in Silhouettes & Shadows. And stop saying Victim. Say Survivor. Better still, say Fighter.

For desi cops RAPE is just another four letter word. Shame in the extreme.

Is a woman any more a victim than a child? Or a old-couple robbed and murdered? Or a young couple who leave orphan children behind? This musical chairs of crime against children, against women; against the aged guarantees that the subject changes – but not the situation.
Sick Society
@SastiBaat @waglenikhil Be real. Outrage is coz a low-income, Hindi-speaking UP-bhaiyya raped a solid, middle class English-speaking girl

Derek O'brien on Delhi gangrape: We often make the mistake of considering rape as a women's issue..it is not..It is men's issue
— Tapan Budhwar (@EXZ_DRON) December 19, 2012
Does deviant behaviour by a few hundred people from among crores of people make a society sick? But when large parts of the society go on rampage that is surely a sick society.

Dear media networks, don't give me this bull abt which city ranks where in rape stats…even a single rape is shameful…#Delhi 1/2
— Roshini Sharma (@SandraBullocart) December 19, 2012
If a member of your family have cancer, does it the makes your family ashamed? If a few members of the society display deviant behaviour, where is the shame? We just have to deal with it?
Help for the victim
Checking Headlines every hour..just to read "She is better, improving & responding well to treatment".. #PrayForHer #Delhi #Rape
— Isha Ganeriwal (@IshaSG) December 19, 2012
While people are out having candle-light vigils, protests, posters, twitter-campaigns, is anyone trying to do anything for the victim? Without intestines, how will the girl manage her life? How will she manage her future medical bills? Instead of this silly shame, meaningless outrage I did not see anyone working to establish a 25-lakh corpus to take care of this girl!

if Mahatma Gandhi were alive today, he would recommend four monkeys, the fourth one holding his crotch so as not to rape. #Delhi #Rape

Almost all rape cases happen during the night in NCR.Thn why cant Delhi police get at least 60-70%cops to work night shifts? #DelhiGangRape

What a place for it to happen every 40 mins. In delhi the natl capital of the worlds largest democracy a rape happens every 40 mins!

Shiela Dixit's been quoted by ToI demanding that rape be made non bailable.The 3 time Delhi CM shud know that rape is already non bailable!

Wow! Some jerks are really turning this whole rape issue into a Delhi vs. Mumbai debate.

If the Delhi rape case was occurred in gujarat instead of Delhi then modi was enough to punish the rapist wit death sentence !!

2day BJP leader protecting against Delhi gang rape and tomorrow they will forget and all party will celebrates victory on Guj election.
— Pawan Choudhary (@pawanchaudhray) December 19, 2012
What about respect for men? What about respect for elders? What about some respect for children? Any special reason why only women should be respected? What about some respect for our leaders? For our police? For our diplomats? For our public servants?
What do we expect? Four policemen in four direction for each citizen of this country?
When we believe that some one should get more respect, we compensate and automatically respect some people less! Is this the reason why we respect some people less.
What happens when societies indulge in hysteria at periodic intervals? They react more and more … and more.
And think a whole lot less!
