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.

Acid attacks against women on the rise Deepender Deswal, TNN | May 27, 2012, 07.36AM IST


ROHTAK: The appalling incidents of acid attacks point to a new shocking phenomenon in crime against women and girls in Haryana.
The latest incident of acid attack here comes closely after the death of an acid attack victim woman in Kelram village of Kaithal district. Two such incidents had occurred during the last one year in Rohtak and Sonipat districts.
In Sonipat town, a 17-year-old girl Kiran died after acid was thrown on her by three motorcycle-borne youths on July 13 last year. The girl was standing outside her house at the time of the incident. Police arrested the main accused Sanjay of Gohana road locality in the town, who was reportedly stalking the girl and pressurizing her to marry him. On being rebuked by the girl, he threw acid on her.
Three minor school student girls had also been victims of acid attacks in Rohtak's posh Sector 1 locality when some unknown motorcycle-born youths threw acid on them when they were returning from tuition classes on June 18 last year. Police however failed to crack the case even though it claimed to have nabbed one of the accused, but police chose to bury the charges.
The victims then approached the state legal services authority, which moved the Punjab and Haryana high court alleging police inaction. The court had rapped the Haryana police and transferred the probe to CBI with a six-month deadline to the investigating agency. The court has also directed the CBI to investigate allegations of police exonerating the culprits.
