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.

14-yr-old raped by neighbour TNN | Jul 8, 2012, 04.28AM IST


PATNA: A 14-year-old girl, Reena (name changed), was raped by a mason, Ajit Kumar (22), at Sheikhpura under Ramkrishna Nagar police station in Patna late on Friday night.
Ramkrishna Nagar police station SHO Raghav Dayal said Ajit, a native of village Rauniya under Naubatpur police station in Patna district, was staying in a rented house at Sheikhpura with his brother-in-law for the last four years and worked as a mason. The house is close to Reena's house, whose family runs a cosmetic shop in the locality. The girl's family hails from Hilsa in Nalanda district, he added.
Dayal said on Friday night at around 8.30pm, Reena, a Class IX student of a local school, was returning to her house after closing her shop. Ajit intercepted her and took her inside an under-construction house and raped her.
The SHO said Reena returned to her house and informed her parents about the incident. She later lodged an FIR with the police station concerned against Ajit, who was arrested and sent to jail on Saturday. The girl has been sent for medical examination.
