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.

NAGPUR: Two minors girls, aged 12 and 14, were allegedly gang raped by five youths in Swagat Nagar and Narsala on Sunday night. Police said that one of the rapists was the 14-year-old girl's boyfriend.
Within an hour of the matter being reported toHudkeshwar police station, cops arrested the victim's lover Pankaj Budbawre (22) along with his friends Prashant Jogdand (24), Chhagan Shirvas (30), Bhushan Jawre (21), all residents of Swagat Nagar in Narsala, and Sanjay Sontakke (23), a resident of Sharda Nagar.
"The girls had gone to meet Pankaj. But he and his friends raped the girls," said Hudkeshwar police.
The 12-year-old victim, Pranali (name changed) is a Std V student while 14-year-old Rupali(name changed) is Std V dropout. The girls live in the same locality and are good friends.
Police said that Rupali left home around 7pm informing her mother that she was going to a tailor along with Pranali.
The girls walked down to the tailor shop. Rupali then took Pranali to Pankaj's home. After half an hour, the girls left Pankaj's home. However, Pankaj followed them on his bike and said that he wanted to introduce them to his friends. As the girls agreed, Pankaj took them on his bike to Chhagan's residence.
Police said that when the girls reached there, Chhagan and Bhushan were watching a porn film. While the girls were chatting with the boys, Chhagan called in his friends Sanjay and Prashant.
As Chhagan's parents were not at home, the boys started misbehaving with the girls. When the girls resisted, the youths threatened them and raped them. Pranali told police that she fell unconscious after the first youth forced himself upon her. She was not in her senses for long.
Meanwhile, the victims' worried parents started searching for them and finally approached the Hudkeshwar police station to file a missing persons complaint. Later, Pranali's parents found the girls near a grocery shop and alerted the cops who brought them to the police station.
After interrogation, the girls finally narrated the incident. Police are trying to clear the inconsistent statements given by the girls.
Both the girls were in a bad shape and were rushed to the Government Medical College and Hospital (GMCH). Medical test confirmed that the girls were raped and a case was registered.
DCP Zone IV Chandrashekar Mina said that one of the accused is married. "None of the accused belongs to a good family. Some of the accused are into painting business while one owns a tea kiosk and another a pan kiosk," he said.
