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.

Homemaker tonsured, stripped by villagers in Bengal Sanjib Chakraborty, TNN | Jul 6, 2012, 01.16AM IST


BASIRHAT: A 35-year-old mother of three was stripped, tonsured and tortured by a kangaroo court in Basirhat, barely an hour's drive from Kolkata, on Wednesday evening. Her husband was beaten up when he tried to protect her.
The kangaroo court accused the victim of having an affair with her nephew. Though, she denied it and her husband stood by her, a mob tied her to a tree and tortured her for over an hour. 

The incident took place at Amarkati and the victim's husband on Thursday, lodged an FIR against seven persons, including five women, who brutally tortured his wife. Two persons have been arrested and police are looking for the others accused. 

On Tuesday evening, a group of local women barged into the victim's house and allegedly dragged her out. They then stripped her and allegedly beat her up. Locals said the attackers suspected that the woman was having an affair with the son of her husband's elder brother. Earlier, some villagers had allegedly threatened the woman with dire consequences, if she dared to continue with the relationship. Apart from the woman, the incident has left her three children utterly traumatized. 

"Some villagers who are not on good terms with our family, hatched this plan to humiliate us ," said the victim, breaking down in tears. 

"Two persons including the prime accused have already been arrested and they are being interrogated," said Champak Bhattacharya, SP North 24-Parganas.
