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.

Minor dies after giving birth TNN | Jun 8, 2012, 03.42AM IST


PUNE: A 15-year-old girl, who was allegedly abducted by a 20-year-old youth on the pretext of marriage, died on May 24 after giving birth to a stillborn baby at her parents' house in Undri.
The Chatushrungi police have booked the suspect, identified as Vicki Rajeshwar Devkar, and his two relatives under sections 376 (rape), 304 (a) (causing death by negligence), 366 (kidnapping woman to compel her for marriage), 323 (voluntarily causing hurt), 504 (intentional insult with intent to provoke breach of peace), 506 (criminal intimidation) of the Indian Penal Code. All the suspects are from Solapur. The victim's mother has lodged a complaint in this regard.
Police sub-inspector Pratap Bahure, who is investigating the case, told TOI that the complainant, the victim's mother, and Devkar were construction labourers. The girl met Devkar at a construction site in Pashan in August 2011. "He abducted the girl and later forced her to marry him," he said.
Bahure said Devkar then took the victim to his native place in Solapur. They were staying in a slum there. "When the victim got pregnant, Devkar called her parents over. In March, the complainant and her husband went to bring their daughter back.
When the victim's parents reached Solapur, they were thrashed by Devkar and his relatives, who also threatened to kill them."
He said that on May 24, the victim gave birth to a stillborn baby at her parents' house in Undri and died following some complications. "We are yet to arrest the suspect," Bahure added.
