Bengal Shames India Again

Retarded. Oh you love a guy well we might as well rape you. Makes me mad. I can almost certainly guess what even happened there. The head had an eye on the girl and seeing her with some one else he was like hmmm. What better way to get her then raping her as a punishment for loving some one.

All in all I just want to say Panchayats/Kangaroo courts worked in 1800/1900 India as people were not educated/no courts/no police but now when India is richer we have established justice system. Panchayatas need to be abolished and declared illegal.

Do you know why these courts aren't banned yet? Is it a failure of central government to establish rule of law over the whole country or do they deliberately allow the presence of these courts?

This is not the first incident I've heard that involves these retarded courts.

The writ of the law hardly reaches the interiors of the country.

So you have the cities, and vast tracts of the rural interiors where there is small policemen to a large area and people.

The policemen themselves believes in the councils.

In places like Haryana, the Congress party relies on Khap Panchayats for votes.

It's a cocktail of illiteracy, poor law enforcement, weak institutions and often times, collusion.

Meanwhile, the Women of the village vehemently deny that the girl was ever raped, let alone by 13 men. Rape seems to have been institutionalized by the willful compliance of the Females there.

Women are often the gatekeepers of power in Patriarchal societies.

They suck upto the powers that are to scrounge out what little power they can get.

Much like how the slave overseers in the American South where usually Black and they got extra privileges for that role.

Will the people of our Nation take to the streets against such Khaps too, like they did in the Nirbhaya case? Or are such Khaps too 'traditional' to be abolished?

Nope. Political parrties rely on their organisational skills to get votes.

 

[sincity]

What kind of tradition to order gang rape on the women?

Exactly. Most Governments are like; Tribals? Meh, who gives a $h!t if they're dead or alive.

What that Ravi Nair said. Cops per 1000 population is not enough in villages. Courts are far away as well they are usually in cities which are really far away from these backward villages. All in all lack of infrastructure and illiteracy is what keeps them working. But with growing economy and rapid urbanisation of vast parts of India things are chaning.

I tough Indian Bengalis were honoroud and educated people going by how bollywood portay them. Shame on bollywood for misleading us yet again.

We need a non-tolerance to Rape ASAP. It should start all over India simultaneously, be in Bengal , Delhi or somewhere else. Frankly this problem is so pervasive , I am willing to close my eyes and vote for the next party who promises to remove this social ill and delivers on their promise.

But at least as a first step , a massive AWARENESS campaign can be undertaken throughout the country.

RAPE = AIDS , Non -Tolerance ...something on those lines.

Sorry to say , Bengal state administration and Police etc. are so pathetic that they can do next to nothing to prevent such cases .

We must understand that instead of playing this Blame-Game and pointing fingers at one another based on states , we need to look at EVEN A SINGLE RAPE CASE --BE IT DELHI, KOLKATA , BIHAR , UP or BANGALORE as an ALL INDIA PROBLEM.

As of now there seems to be only one direct solution. The UNION GOVT should direct each and every IPS Officer in each and every state to sound out a red alert to prevent this Rape Cancer and if , god forbid anything happens again ---then without regard to State Political mechanisms -- pursue stringent punishment at all costs.

Set up a special court in Delhi , transport the perpetrator and convict him there under the harshest laws if necessary.

I tough Indian Bengalis were honoroud and educated people going by how bollywood portay them. Shame on bollywood for misleading us yet again.

Taking a needless potshot huh ? Bengalis don't need Bollywood to prove their honor and education and culture.

Stupid of you to base your perceptions of people on Bollywood films in the first place .

West Bengal: Tribal woman gang-raped on a platform for all to see
Dwaipayan Ghosh & Someswar Boral,TNN | Jan 24, 2014, 01.56 AM IST


SURI: Cops in Bengal's Birbhum district on Thursday arrested 14 men, including a village headman who had ordered the gang-rape of a 20-year-old tribal woman for alleged sexual relations with a man from outside her community. As tempers flared across the state and another anti-Mamata Banerjee wave over rising gender crime swelled, the chief minister replaced the district police chief C Sudhakar with Darjeeling SP S N Gupta.

Even as the administration claimed it had acted promptly, moregruesome details emerged. Villagers told TOI on Thursday that after the kangaroo court ordered her to be sexually savaged, the woman was placed on a raised bamboo platform so that the gang-rape was viewed by the entire village, children included.

"If the family does not pay up, go and enjoy yourselves," is what headman and now prime accused Boloi Murdy allegedly told the men.

The woman's family alleged she and her lover, a man from a nearby village, were tied up in Murdy's courtyard, where a kangaroo court was held and handed down the punishment — a Rs 50,000 fine for the man and gang rape for the woman. Some villagers told TOI that the woman's cries rent the air all night but no one stepped forward to help her. Even her family, who lives 50 metres away, could not rescue her.

Doctors attending to the critically injured woman said on Thursday they had "clinical evidence" of penetration by several men. The report has been sent to police, said Birbhum medical chief Dr Asit Biswas.

The woman's family was not given even a night's time to arrange for the Rs 50,000. Once the headman ordered rape, it was a free for all. "Among those who raped her were teenagers and some old enough to be her father," said a villager, who was willing to depose to escape arrest. "Almost the entire village — including children — had joined the kangaroo court. All of them hailed it as the correct move," he said.

The village, 60km from Shantiniketan, the cultural and academic hub created by Rabindranath Tagore, is populated by adivasis and has no electricity or school. The administration has always been wary of interfering with tribal traditions, leaving the adivasis to live by their own laws. It saw a horrific humiliation of a teenage girl in 2010 for having an affair outside the tribe. She was paraded naked through four villages and anyone was free to grope her. Although it triggered outrage across the country, the Bengal government wasn't quite proactive. All the accused are out on bail.

Even on Thursday, a day after the gang-rape by up to 13 people, the village didn't show any hint of repentance. The women, in fact, barracked police, insisting the men had done nothing wrong and that the woman had to be punished. The women tried to stop police from arresting the accused and additional SP Prasanta Kumar Chowdhury had to rush in reinforcements. Journalists were barricaded until Santhal outfits intervened.

No less shocking is the attitude of the administration. Police didn't seek custody of the accused—something unprecedented in gang-rape cases. The public prosecutor didn't even turn up in court, apparently because it was a holiday. "We have arrested all the accused in quick time," said Sudhakar by way of an explanation. Despite the prosecutor being missing, the court sent the accused to police custody for 14 days.

No government official—from the BDO to the district magistrate—bothered to meet the survivor's family or visit the scene of crime. Armed policemen milled about the village and some were seen cordoning off the shack in which the rape platform stood, barely 20 feet from the hut of Murdy, the headman.

The villagers threatened to ostracize the woman's family for cooperating with the authorities. "We will never allow the woman and her family to return," cried out villagers. They accused the woman of framing the accused because she was ordered to leave the village if she continued her affair.

"We know that she lived elsewhere with that mason. She made a lot of money. How can we allow the family back? Nothing happened. She made false allegations against our family members because we opposed her illicit relationship," said Panmuni Tudu, a villager.

Bhaju Hembram, who was the headman a few years ago, told TOI that he knew what was going on but since he had "lost his voice" he left without any protest. "What can I do? Now Balai is recognized as the headman," he said. He acknowledged his son witnessed the gang-rape but he, too, refused to say anything.

At Mamata's behest, Trinamool Congress leader Mukul Roy made a formal statement, saying: "The government is firm and will take strictest action against the culprits. It is a social malaise and we shall combat it politically, socially and administratively.

There is something about this headman that is not right. He wanted it to happen. And I suspect this is not the first time this has happened.
