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.

Man sets wife, little daughter ablaze Rajiv Kalkod | May 9, 2012, 03.36AM IST

BANGALORE: A man's craving to wed repeatedly took a ghastly turn when he set his second wife and their baby daughter on fire after she opposed his plan for a third marriage. V Chandana, 18 months old, was charred to death, while her mother, V Asha, was rushed toVictoria Hospital, where she is battling for life with 80% burns. 

R Venugopal, who set his family afire, is absconding with his parents and brother. 

Venugopal had identified a relative to become his third wife. But Asha opposed the marriage plan and filed a dowry harassment case. 

Around 1pm on Tuesday, an infuriated Venugopal set his wife and their daughter on fire in their ground-floor residence in Manjunatha Layout, TC Palya, near K R Puram. 

Hearing Asha and Chandana's screams, neighbours rushed in, doused the fire and called for help. Chandana died much before an ambulance arrived. Asha told police Venugopal set them on fire and fled. 

I saw a bundle of fire, says neighbour 

Asha was in flames as she ran out of home
