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.

Mother stabs 4-year-old 21 times on chest in Nagpur Soumittra S Bose, TNN | Jul 4, 2012, 12.55AM IST


NAGPUR: Call it a murderous rage or psychic outbursts, the woman had already stunned the society by jumping before an oncoming train hours after stabbing her four-year-old daughter at their housing board quarters at Raghuji Nagar on June 28.
The fact that Sheila Bhake had stabbed 21 times on Vaishali's chest has now even shocked the cops and also the doctors who performed the post-mortem on the little girl at Government Medical College and Hospital (GMCH). Vaishali's blood-smeared body was discovered by Vaishali's husband Atul who had returned with son Abhishek after having snacks at Sakkardara Chowk. She was found sipping a cheap beverage by the neighbours moments before her murder.
While the reason behind Vaishali's murder has kept the cops guessing, several theories, including that of the human sacrifice to appease the so-called 'godman' for prosperity, were also explored by the investigating agencies. Hudkeshwar police also interrogated a 'godman' from Tajbagh, identified as Baba Sailani, whom Sheila visited frequently with son Abhishek. After the incident, police took Abhishek's help to zero down on the self-styled 'godman'.
Though nothing transpired from the interrogation of the 'Baba', it is now learnt that the forensic experts found a unique pattern of the woman's stabbing while performing the post-mortem. "All the stabs were almost on the girl's heart. There were multiple stabs within a circular area of merely 10 cm diameter. Many of these pierced the heart too. There were no other injuries apart from those on and near the heart," said Dr Pradeep Dixit, deputy dean and head of the forensic department of GMCH, after consulting experts from his department. Dr H V Pathak conducted the post-mortem.
Dr Dixit, who termed the pattern of assault as unique, said that he had barely come across such an incident in his career as a forensic expert. "This is a perversion of the society and should be tackled. Even in a progressing society killings take place merely on the basis of blind faith," he said.
Assistant police inspector Vinod Dighore said that his discussion with the forensic team indicated that Sheila may have been driven by disturbed phase of mind. "We had questioned the Baba but nothing came out. The baba said that he knew Sheila but never demanded money to bring good luck to her.

There is no evidence of the Baba's involvement so far," said Dighore. The Baba, it has come to fore, had gone to Kanpur when the incident took place. Several people, close to the family including the kin, claimed that Sheila was asked to bring Rs one lakh by the Baba and she was eager to sell the house for money.
