Do you think your daughter is among the 9 out of 10 people you mention? I think not.

if you would like men to respect your daughter then you should also respect the daughters of other men. yes?

that may be the impression that mrs. bagchi and hindi movies gave you, but that's not true. in any case, you don't know ten real people, let alone ten women.

New Delhi: For nearly eight years, a woman from Kerala who was gang-raped by 42 men in 40 days has been waiting for the Supreme Court to take up her case.

Today, the Chief Justice of India Altamas Kabir said hearings will begin within three weeks.

The case is known as the Suryanelli rape case, after the village in Kerala where the woman lived with her parents. They have moved houses twice since then, driven out they say by jeering neighbours.

"Nobody accepts us; when they see us, they try to avoid us. We don't go out," said her father.

The Supreme Court's decision today to begin hearing her case comes after the Chief Justice said yesterday that fast-track trials are essential for rape cases. His comments were made as he inaugurated a special court which will hold daily hearings in the case of a 23-year-old medical student who died after being raped by six men on a moving bus on December 16. The attack and her death have pushed India into demanding improved safety for women and tougher and more effective laws for sexual crimes.

In the Suryanelli case, a 16-year-old was abducted by a bus conductor who raped her, then passed her onto others, some of who were powerful and well-connected in Kerala at the time.

She was then discarded with no money and in no condition to return home - she couldn't sit or stand because of her injuries.

It was her case that led in 1999 to the commissioning of Kerala's first special court dedicated to handling cases of sexual assault.

35 people accused of raping her were convicted. But the Kerala High Court, three years later, reversed that decision, holding only one person guilty. The grounds for this verdict were criticised by many people.

Her family and the state prosecutor both appealed to the Supreme Court in 2005 against the High Court's verdict. Nothing happened after that.

The family survives on her parents' pensions. The victim was given a job as a peon in a government department but in February, she was arrested and suspended for financial misappropriation.

btw, mrs bagchi probably didn't break up with her husband; that break-up story was part of an elaborate scheme mrs bagchi and her souththiNDian slave kinnamma created to attract more idiotic men to the now-"unattached" mrs bagchi.

Except that one woman (unfortunate) here, 10 out 10 people know that you are a moron. So why is there a Statistic check?

STFU behanchod!

Bittu, you do realizes that Delhi police is seeking death penalty for 5 Bittus in the gang rape case.

Just like those rapists have some women in their lives supporting them, you too have a few (unfortunate) women bloating your ego here.

What are you trying to say here, Mr. DNA? That they have no conscience and cannot be shamed?

by Petrichor Thu Jan 03, 2013 7:49 pm

I ain't saying nothin' - its all mister mitra here:
1. Most of them get away with their crimes most of times, and eventually get caught.
2. Hong Kong Police example - active cops on the streets, looking for the right signs will help. Inebriated, groups of young men etc...
3. Increase certainty of punishment.
4. Naming and shaming will not work in the indian context - it may do the reverse (think Lecter)
