Of late, I have been witnessing a very disturbing increase in the crime against females, be a girl child, a teenager, or an adult woman. It has almost become the order of the day. Newspapers are replete with such news. No doubt, India has been placed at parity with Afghanistan as the worst countries for a female to born in. Sometimes, I guess, had it been there in the past too but very less reported?.. or the mind set of the Indian male is becoming less human, devoid of any compassion and respect for the other gender, and is also becoming fearless of the Indian Law!
So, I fancied an idea to let the world know the dark side of "Being a Female in India."
Let there be the consciences shaken, people of all walks do some soul searching..take a pause and raise their voice, wherever they are, against the atrocities being meted out to girls and women, with a result that cruelity against the female gender starts receding, and we give to our generations to come a society where a woman is respected in its true essence-as as wife, as a sister, as a mother, as a grand mother et al..is the sole objective of this blog.
Amen.

Honour killing: 19-year-old boy arrested for killing teen sister TNN | May 29, 2012, 05.22AM IST


KARNAL: A 19-year-old youth was arrested on Monday for murdering his teenaged sister, whom he suspected of having an affair. The weapon used by him in the crime, a knife, has also been recovered.
Paras confessed to killing his sister Payal, a class 12 student, after she refused to stop meeting the man with whom she had an affair. She was found in a pool of blood, with stab wounds at her home in Ashok Nagar area on May 20.
A case under Section 302 (murder) of IPC has been registered against Paras even as police are probing the role of other family members in the crime. Superintendent of police Shashank Anand said they were informed about the murder by Payal's father Naresh, who claimed he was in Ambala when she was killed.
Police though said Naresh tried to mislead investigators by claiming Payal committed suicide as she was under the influence of "evil powers" and was suffering from depression.
"Circumstantial evidence and nature of injuries, especially five stab wounds and injury on her head and skull, present a clear picture of murder," said Anand.
Paras told police that he had caught Payal speaking to her boyfriend over the phone. "In a fit of rage he banged his sister's head against the wall and stabbed her repeatedly," said Anand.
The police nabbed Paras after probing Payal's call records to trace her boyfriend, who told the police that her family members, especially her brother, were staunchly opposed to their relationship.
