India, Pakistan and the Middle East etc. have a long wong to go in advocating women's rights!   God bless the USA!!

I agree. Guyana is doing much better than those Countries.

My take, when I live there is was a lot of talk and action.  But it seems ill directed and not well thought through.  The way they (police) react end up placing women in cages for their own safety which then oppresses further.  The police harass the women for "putting them selves at risk" they say while the scoundrels roam free.

In this recent case, the guilty parties should all be hung and Indian should pass tougher laws against such brutality.  Aggravated assault resulting in rape should be a capital offense.

In India raping a woman is a right not a crime.....

Death sentence should be mandatory for those who commit acts of violence and rape of women in India. Political leaders must step up to the plate and act now. This is totally unacceptable.

Kudos to those who are posting on this serious issue.

Why not to apply practices like those of Saudi Arabia where the victim, not the perpetrators of the rape, goes to jail.

The punishment for rape in SA in death

You need laws like that in India

you mean, making rape legal?

Would you folks focus some of your angst against abuse of women and children to our own national tragedy of the same kind? Benn's son recently beat up his pregnant girlfriend and not one of the regular news outlets focused on it.  How many women died or were mutilated or horribly abused this year in our small country and no one seem to care?  It is clear our society treats women marginally better than in Afghanistan or India and Pakistan.

South Africa remains the 'rape' capital of the world

South Africa's National Freedom Party (NFI) has said the sexual offence statistics in the country were still very high despite a small decline observed.

"We note that while sex-related crimes... decreased by just more than 1%, these crimes still remain very high as compared to global figures and South Africa remains the rape capital of the world," News24 quoted NFI president Zanele KaMagwaza-Msibi, as saying.

KaMagwaza-Msibi welcomed an overall decrease in crime reflected in the latest statistics released by Police Minister Nathi Mthethwa on Thursday, and she added sexual crimes were not always reported.

"We call on the government to provide safe shelters for the elderly and orphans, especially in rural areas, as these sections of our population are the most vulnerable to sexual crimes," KaMagwaza-Msibi said.

Why eastern DR Congo is 'rape capital of the world'

 Complain about the rape crisis in South Africa if you must. The rape in India got the media attention so it is the reason it is being dealt with. It also was particularly horrific for a region where horrific acts of oppression against women is not unheard of. Even the society itself has seen fit to condemn it and make their voice heard by mass protest.

INDIA is the raping paradise...simply because there are so many rapes happening all the time in trains, in buses, on the crowded streets right under the midday sun. Nobody cares, it is so normal and natural. It is the right of every Indian man to have a woman by force.

These indian bast-rds love to drink their heads full of cheap nasty rum and beat up the indian women.

NEW DELHI (Reuters) - One of hundreds of attacks reported in New Delhi each year, the gang rape and murder of a medical student caught Indian authorities and political parties flat-footed, slow to see that the assault on a private bus had come to symbolize an epidemic of crime against women.

In the moments before the December 16 attack, the 23-year-old woman from India's urban middle class, who had recently qualified as a trainee physiotherapist in a private Delhi hospital, and her male friend, a software engineer, were walking home from a cinema at a shopping mall in south Delhi, according to a police reconstruction of events.

A bus, part of a fleet of privately owned vehicles used as public transport across the city of 16 million, and known as India's "rape capital", was at the same time heading toward them. Earlier that day, it had ferried school students but was now empty except for five men and a teenage boy, including its crew, police said. Most of the men were from the city's slums.

One of the six - all now charged with murder - lured the couple onto the bus, promising to drop the woman home, police have said, quoting from an initial statement that she gave from her hospital bed before her condition deteriorated rapidly.

A few minutes into the ride, her friend, 28, grew suspicious when the bus deviated from the supposed route and the men locked the door, according to her statement. They then taunted her for being out with a man late at night, prompting the friend to intervene and provoking an initial scuffle.

The attackers then beat him with a metal rod, knocking him unconscious, before turning on the woman who had tried to come to his defense. Police say the men admitted after their arrest to torturing and raping the student "to teach her a lesson".

At one point, the bus driver gave the wheel to another of the accused and dragged the woman by the neck to the back of the vehicle and forced himself upon her. The other five then took turns raping her and also driving the bus, keeping it circling through the busy streets of India's capital city, police said.

The woman was raped for nearly an hour before the men pushed a metal rod inside her, severely damaging her internal organs, and then dumped both her and her friend on the roadside, 8 km (5 miles) from where they had boarded it, police said.

Robbed of their clothes and belongings, they were found half naked, bleeding and unconscious later that night by a passerby, who alerted the police.

Last year, a rape was reported on average every 20 minutes in India. Just 26 percent of the cases resulted in convictions, according to the National Crime Records Bureau, which registered 24,206 rapes in 2011, up from 22,141 the previous year.

At first, authorities treated the assault on the medical student as one crime among many, and they were not prepared for the furious public reaction that led to running battles between protesters and police near the heart of government in New Delhi.

No wonder an indian woman would not think twice about running off with a crazy like CaribNY.  At least she would not be beaten by a drunken Indian husband.  I have never met  a Pakistani woman who is married to a foreigner.  The reason is because Pakistani men do not generally drink cheap portugeese or British Guiana rum then beat up their wives. Governments should ban rum sales to indian husbands.

As far as I understand Caribny is African descendant...

you need to understand the gist of the prasad's comment

The problem with Indian men who drink and abuse women is most of them are sexually deficient---they can't deliver the goods in the bedroom so they resort to physically abusing their women.

The next time you read or hear about any man abusing a woman---know this--that man is sexually deficient---he can't deliver the goods.

Who vex, vex!

Rev

Rev, you're so way off in your preaching!  Read the opening article to understand the problem. 

Additionally, India created its own monster.  Before marriage, the grooms and their families demand huge dowries, which leads to murder of female babies, then shortage of women, then the desperate men turn to desperate measures.  The gender ratio is grossly skewed.  They need to ban the sick dowry system and that will eliminate the problem. 

CaribJ tried for years to get an Indian woman to no avail. I even told him to bring flowers but he did not follow my advice and was dumped. I heard he even tried dressing up in doti.

As for the Paki husbands, they prefer kerosene. hahahahah

Why would Caribji be interested in you?

You need to stop following me around like a puppy dog looking for attention. You stalker. Maybe you have the hots for goadie. ahahhaha

That's not what your mother nor sister said to me.

Mitwa, someone mentioned the word 'tilak' to me the other day regarding Indo-Guyanese weddings.  Is it the same concept brought over to Guyana from India, and has been toned down over the past 100 years to reflect life in the Caribbean?  Please enlighten me.  Thanks.

All Hindu weddings culminate with the groom putting of vermillion (sindhur) or kumkum on the hair parting of the bride to complete the marriage. This ancient practice is called saubhagya chinha ( blessing of the bride) by the bridegroom  who then gives the bride a necklace (mangal sutra)  which represents their love, togetherness and  sacred union. Jagdeo and Varshni performed this ancient ritual to solemnize their wedding ceremony.

Rev,

If drunk Indian men are sexually deficient, how come so many drunk Indian men in Guyana have a basketfull of children? Looks like the logic works in the opposite direction.

Maybe di daddy ain't di daddy, but di daddy don't know!!

Rev is talking about his own defiency.

Base: Is this speaking from personal experience? LOL

Well, you nevva know, but all mi pikney dem gatt mi big nose and big foot.

Glad you saw it as ribbing. We all give and take this kind of crap.
