Loose Lips Sink Ship - II


Loose Lips Sink Ship

The following list contains some even more ridiculous public statements. Some of these atrocious comments made after the Delhi incident, it looked like as if these peoples were appearing for an IQ test without having any.

Abhijit Mukherjee

Abhijit Mukherjee, Congress MP and son of President Pranab Mukherjee, kicked off a row with his outrageous reference to female protestors in Delhi as "dented and painted.""I would term the protests in Delhi as what is popularly known as Pink Revolution. It is becoming fashionable to land up on the streets with candle in hand. Such people are completely disconnected from reality. They go to discotheques. I am very well versed with student activism and I can bet on it that most of the protesters are not students. They are dented and painted women chasing two minutes on fame, giving interviews on TV.

Banwari Lal Singhal

Banwari Lal Singhal, BJP legislator from Alwar city constituency in Rajasthan, who said wearing skirts in schools led to sexual harassment. "It should be prohibited keeping in view the rise of social crimes against women. The school should have pant-shirts or salwar suits as uniforms for girl students."

Anisur Rahaman

CPM MLA Anisur Rahaman, whose cheap comments on West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee was slammed by his own party leaders. His remark, which came against the backdrop of the Delhi gang-rape case, was made during his speech at Itahar in North Dinajpur. "The government will do good to all - farmers, workers, rape victims. This is the same Mamata Banerjee who went to South 24-Parganas and brought Champala Sardar to Writers' Buildings claiming she was raped. She takes up those hela fela girls. I told her if you want to bring some girls, bring some good ones. There is no better girl than you. We ask, didimoni what is your price? How much will you take for getting raped?" Rahaman reportedly said referring to the Trinamool Congress chief's announcement of to give Rs 20,000 to a rape victim.

Raj Thackeray 

Like Mamata Banerjee, he too always there commenting for something than other. Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) chief Raj Thackeray  as always targeted the Bihari’s, saying, "Who were the one who did this? Nobody is talking about it. Just register cases against Raj Thackeray when he speaks. And after the rape, no one will talk about all rapists being from Bihar." However, his brand of politics has largely been aimed at targeting people from the Uttar Pradesh and Bihar so this comes as no surprise.

Ms. Vibha Rao

Chairperson of Chhattisgarh State Women Commission Ms. Vibha Rao says that women, influenced by western culture, send wrong signals through their dress and behavior and men often take the cue from those signals. “Women display their bodies and indulge in various obscene activities. Women are unaware of the kind of message generate,” she said.

Abu Azmi

Samajwadi Party leader Abu Azmi thinks that women should not go out with men other than relatives. These are some of the statements by him: “Women should not venture out with men who are not relatives. What is the need for roaming at night with men who are not relatives? This should be stopped.” He also blames the Western culture and scantily-clad women. He strongly feels rape cases are on the rise due to “women wearing less clothes”. For your kind

Ashok Singhal

Ashok Singhal, head of Hindu organization Vishwa Hindu Parishad blames the ‘western model’ of lifestyle for growing incidents of sexual assault on women including rape, saying cities were losing the values. He termed the rising trend of western model of living as “alarming.” “This western model is alarming. What is happening is we have imbibed the US. We have lost all the values we had in cities,” he said. “It is not only foreign to our culture, but also hostile.” Virginity was preserved. But the purity has been totally disturbed, we are losing it,


Kailash Vijayvargiya is current  BJP cabinet minister of Madhya Pradesh was speaking to reporters in Indore and said women must keep themselves within the limits of  morality/dignity or face the music.


Mohan Bhagwat

Women Should Be Just Housewives And Husbands Should Be The Breadwinners prominent politician Mohan Bhagwat has created a row with his statement that a woman is bound by contract to husband to look after him. "A husband and wife are involved in a contract under which the husband has said that you should take care of my house and I will take care of all your needs. I will keep you safe.

Asaram Bapu

Beg Your rapists and Call them brothers to stop them. Spiritual Guru Asaram Bapu blames Delhi rape victim saying, “She should have called the culprits ‘brothers’ and begged before them to stop. Had she recited the Saraswati mantra, she would not have boarded any bus after watching a movie with her boyfriend.” he victim’s father was rightfully enraged and asked whether Asaram Bapu will tell women in his family to surrender to rapists, asks Delhi gangrape victim's family.

This year there is a tie between Narendra Modi and Asaram Bapu, my heartiest congratulation to the winner.

Loose Lips Sink Ship - II




Once more back with the American English idiom ‘Loose Lips Sink Ship‘ meaning "beware of unguarded talk" and as mentioned before was an American propaganda poster of WWII.  Last year, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee was the clear winner and way ahead from others, let us see who is the lucky person for 2012-2013. This year there are many contenders, because of aftermath effects of the horrific incident in Delhi and thereafter turns of events. Some of the comments  exposed the intelligence of our politicians. They kept commenting as they were in a competition for the most obtuse person of the year. One thing is sure that every worthless politicians have sort of advice for the women, as women are sort of object and belongs to their paternal property. Many of those politicians are so camera friendly that whenever they see one they shoot their worthless motor mouth. Listing some of the award wining comments random order. List is quite bigger than the last year and decided to divide it in two parts. The parts are divided as pre and post Delhi incident. The  list contains some very distinguish(?) person too.

Anna Hazare

Anna Hazare said to a group of journalists at Ralegan Siddhi when he learned about the attack on Union agriculture minister Sharad Pawar “Ek hi maara?” The comment was followed by a big laugh among the audience but Anna’s attitude of being sympathetic to the attacker who assaulted the Union minister brought huge criticisms on him.
Prashant Bhushan

Former ‘India against Corruption’ member and current AAP member Prashant Bhushan calling Prime Minister Manmohan Singh as 'Shikhandi' and as usual Bhushan denied the statement later.

Narendra Modi

Like Mamata Banerjee he too is very list friendly. During a rally in Himachal Pradesh Monday, Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi said "There was a Congress leader who was a minister in Parliament. He was accused of amassing wealth from cricket. He had said in Parliament that he is not connected to the Rs 50 crore in the lady's name. Have you ever heard of Rs 50 crore girlfriend?".

Modi was referring to a controversy relating to a cricket franchise involving Sunanda Pushkar, who was Minister of State for External Affairs Shashi Tharoor’s girlfriend then.

Mamata Banerjee & Co

No one in the world have power to keep Mamata Banerjee out of this list, she is tailor made and always comes up with something that other to find a place. This time it was about horrific incident when a woman raped on gunpoint in a moving car. She had termed the Park Street rape case a "sajano galpo (concocted story)".

Its seems that she is in good company and well supported by her own party (partly) members.

Transport minister Madan Mitra had questioned why a mother had to go to a night club as there is a special criteria for peoples who preferred to visit a night club.

Trinamool Congress MP Kakoli Ghosh Dastidar hit out at the Park Street rape victim and questioned about her rape complaint. She also, attempted at character assassination as she dubbed the case a misunderstanding between a "woman and her client". "They (the Park Street rape and Delhi gang rape) are totally different. The incident at Park Street was not a rape at all. It was a misunderstanding between two parties involved in professional dealing between the woman and her client."

Shahrukh Khan (You Can so He Can)

Shahrukh Khan, had said in an article that he sometimes becomes the inadvertent object of political leaders who chose to make him a symbol of all they think was wrong and unpatriotic about Muslims in India.

He should realize that an average person like him, whatever he achieved being and Indian. If he still not satisfied he can try his luck somewhere else and it seems he is having many well wisher and sympathizer elsewhere.

Rehman Malik's (Over Boundary)

Rehman Malik’s IQ always was in questioned. Rehman Malik's controversial statement, asking India to ensure security cover to the actor.

During his visit to India, Malik, had said nobody wants to see the recurrence of incidents like Mumbai blasts, Samjhauta blasts or Babri Masjid issue. Later, however, he denied comparing the demolition of the shrine to the Mumbai attacks, adding that he had been "misunderstood".

Nitin Gadkari

When BJP finally got rid of Nitin Gadkari, when he was quietly dismissed as the  BJP  president, he was a free man and came up with the following ridiculous statements.

Mard hoon, dekh loonga. I-T department yad rakhe, BJP ki Sarkar ayegi tab kahan jaoge?” Gadkari is reported to have said to his supporters after returning to his home town of Nagpur.  He was referring to I-T officials and CBI.

Southward – [AP] – III


Hyderabad was the last destination of our tour itineraries. After two days at Vizag and a day in Araku Valley we took Godavari Express from Visakhapatnam. As Visakhapatnam is very close to the Orrisa and Chatrisghar border, Hyderabad is share the border with Maharashtra and Karnataka. Distance between Hyderabad and Visakhapatnam is about 620 Kilometer and by train it is almost ten hours journey. We reached Hyderabad in the morning and lodged in a hotel very near to the station. The day was given for resting but we passed the day for little shopping. Next day, we left for some local sight seeing like Golkonda  Fort and Birla Temple in the morning and in the evening we were at NTR Garden and Lumbini Park. Adjacent Hussein Sagar Lake was very disappointing one as it was very dirty and not at all well maintained but Light and Sound Show, a Laser Show at LUMBINI PARK was OK. After two days third day we supposed board the train at evening from Seccunderbad  station. In the morning we were at Salar Jung Museum and to Charminar and sorry to say the place was very dirty and not at all projected as a tourist attraction. I don’t know how such place represents the face of the city. When we talk about other cites like India Gate in Delhi or Gate of India in Mumbai or Victoria Memorial in Kolkata, all are tourists delight.

During our tour ten days tours, the tour operator provided us a luxury bus for the local sight seeing, therefore there were not much hassle-bustle for us. It was an average tour but as everything was taken care by the tour operator so it was quite relaxing.

Hyderabad

Hyderabad was established in 1591 CE as Bhaganagar by Muhammad Quli Qutb Shah. The city remained the princely state's capital from 1769 to 1948, when the Nizam signed an Instrument of Accession with the Indian Union at the conclusion of Operation Polo. The 1956 States Reorganisation Act established the modern state of Andhra Pradesh, with Hyderabad as its capital.

Hyderabad means "Hyder's abode" or "lion city". One popular theory suggests that Muhammad Quli Qutb Shah, the founder of the city, named it "Bhagnagar" after Bhagmathi, a local nautch girl with whom he had fallen in love. She converted to Islam and adopted the title Hyder Mahal. The city was renamed Hyderabad in her honour

Golkonda  Fort

The most important builder of Golkonda was Ibrahim Quli Qutub Shah Wali, the fourth Qutub king of the Qutub Shahi Dynasty. Ibrahim was following in the spirit of his ancestors, the Qutub Shahi kings, a great family of builders who had ruled the kingdom of Golkonda from 1512. Their first capital, the fortress citadel of Golkonda, was rebuilt for defense from invading Mughals from the north.


Golkonda  Fort
















Birla Mandir

The temple is built on a 280 feet high hillock called the Naubath Pahad on a 13 acres plot. Though the chief deity is Lord Venkateshwara, the temple has pan-Hindu character with deities of Shiva, Shakti, Ganesh, Hanuman, Brahma, Saraswati, Lakshmi and Saibaba. The selected teachings of holy men and Gurbani are engraved on temple walls.




NTR Garden

NTR Gardens is a small, but popular, public, urban park of 55 acres adjacent to Hussain Sagar lake.





Lumbini Park

Lumbini Park is a small public, urban park of 7.5 acres adjacent to Hussain Sagar.




Light & Sound Laser Show

A state-of-the-art facility built with German help, the Laser show is well worth but can be better.  Along with the laser animation, you also can see the fountains dancing to the music. It also shows the city's history over 400 odd years.



Hussain Sagar Lake

Hussain Sagar Lake,  built by Hazrat Hussain Shah Wali in 1562, during the rule of Ibrahim Quli Qutb Shah. It was 5.7 square kilometres built on a tributary of the River Musi to meet the water and irrigation needs of the city. There is a large monolithic statue of the Gautam Buddha in the middle of the lake which was erected in 1992.

Salar Jung  Museum

This museum houses one of the biggest one-man collections of antiques and artifacts in the world by Mir Yousuf Ali Khan Salar Jung III



Charminar

The Charminar, built in 1591 CE, is a monument. The landmark has become a global icon of Hyderabad, listed among the most recognized structures of India. The Charminar is on the east bank of Musi river To the northeast lies the Laad Bazaar and in the west end lies the granite-made richly ornamented Makkah Masjid.

Southward – [AP] – II



I always prefer a hill, a mountain or a forest to the sea front for my travel destination. Araku Valley nothing sort of the valleys that presence in the Himalayas yet it was a different travelling experience. We were there for few hours and if I visit Vizag again I certainly love to stay at Araku for couple of days. Andhra Pradesh Government having resorts over there, which is very good, apart from it there are a few other resorts that also offer good hospitality.

Araku Valley

The Place
Araku is one of the most important tourist destinations in Andhra Pradesh. A pleasant hill station famous for its scenic gardens with lush green nature, valleys, waterfalls and streams. It is located 114 km from Vishakhapatnam, close to the Orissa state border. The Anantagiri and Sunkarimetta Reserved Forest which are part of Araku Valley, are rich in biodiversity. The journey to Araku valley on the Eastern Ghats with thick forest on either sides is itself highly interesting and pleasant. The place is over 3200ft. high with a bracing climate. The Botanical Garden at Padmapuram, Government Silk Farm with Mulberry gardens are the live examples to know the socio-economic conditions of the area.

Tribal Museum is a big attraction of the Araku. Chaaparai, a picturesque place about 15 km from Araku is another picnic spot in this region. One must experience the climatic conditions and the natural beauty of this Valley. The natural beauty of this valley comes alive with the aboriginal tribes who dwell here and who have to this day kept their tradition and culture alive. About 19 tribes inhabit this area. The Dhimsa dance, an age-old folk dance normally performed during 'Itikala Pongal' is now offered in tourist's packages everyday.

Bora Cave

In 1807, William King George of the Geological Survey of India discovered the caves. The Borra caves are stated to be one of the largest caves in the Indian subcontinent. The caves are located in the Araku Valley of the Ananthagiri hill range and is drained by the Gosthani River. At the entry, the cave measures up to 100 m (328.1 ft) horizontally and 75 m (246.1 ft) vertically.  The average annual temperature of Araku hills, where the caves are situated, is about 25 °C (77.0 °F). The Gosthani river provides water supply to the Visakhapatnam city. The caves are well connected by road, rail and air services. Vishkapatnam, the nearest airport. By road, which is mostly a hill road and the journey takes about 3 hours. Train services operate on the Kothavalasa-Kirandul railway line in East Coast Railway, Indian Railways. The train journey over a distance of 100 km from the Vishkapatanam Rly station passes through Eastern Ghats section, which has 30 tunnels en-route. The journey by train takes about 5 hours to the Railway Station near the caves called the ‘Borra Guhalu Railway station

Southward [AP]-I



Travelling is one thing for which I can set aside all other entertainment from my menu. For me this is the best way to cool down and kicked the distressing worries. I make a point to travel at least once in a year. Not my all destinations are satisfactory like my memorable tour to valley of flower but every destination gave me a unique experience. Last Durga Puja vacation I wanted to visit Andaman but plan failed at the last moment. I was thinking that I have to spent the break sitting at home because it was impossible to get all the necessary booking but then I booked a package tour with a small time tour operator for seven days for Andhra. Before this one whenever we traveled we depended on our own scheduled, so that was the first which I have to depend upon the plan of the operator going to provide. Our destination was – Visakhapatnam, Araku Valley and then to Hyderabad. Not a great destination for the people like me but only thing that I was never been to these places.

We stayed three days in Visakhapatnam out of one we spent at Araku Valley.

Visakhapatnam

Visakhapatnam also known as Vizag, is a port city on the southeast coast of India. It is  the second-largest city in the state of Andhra Pradesh after Hyderabad and the third-largest city on the east coast after Chennai and Kolkata. Visakhapatnam is one of India's largest seaports and has the country's oldest shipyard.

The city was named after Visakha, the Hindu god of valor. It is nestled among the hills of the Eastern Ghats and faces the Bay of Bengal on the east. Visakhapatnam is the administrative headquarters of Visakhapatnam district and headquarters of the Eastern Naval Command of the Indian Navy. Visakhapatnam was mentioned in the Indian epics Ramayana and Mahabharata in the forests of the Eastern Ghats where the two brothers, Rama and Lakshmana, wandered in search of Sita.

Must See Places

The beaches – The city surrounded by sea and so there are quite a few beaches are there and some of the beaches provide water riding too.



 The Aquarium





 Kailasa Giri Park

Kailasa giri is located on a hilltop and is a must to visiting place for all people visiting Vishakhapatnam. It is one of the prominent hill top parks with panoramic sea view on the East Coast.







 Submarine Museum

Submarine Museum, 'Smritika' set up nearby the Vishakapatanam port, is located at the serene beach named the Rama Krishna Beach. The museum started functioning in 2001 was converted from INS Kusura, a Russian built submarine. Only one of these kinds in India and Asian continent, this Submarine Museum attracts many.

Disappear into the Thin Air?



Life is full of many ups and downs but undoubtedly the death is the most unkind thing. We certainly love to shun it but as life, death too is real and avoidable. We have to embrace it at certain point of life with two question (when and where). Whenever we lost a near and dear one, we considered it is the biggest tragedy of ones life. However, in our lifetime we have to experience such incident numerous time yet sometime coping with it, is not easy. Time plays biggest role in the healing process but when someone vanish in the thin air without leaving any trail it seems lifelong journey through a dark tunnel. While writing about Mayan calendar I was thinking hard that how come a whole civilization vanished at once but cannot say that without a trail. Most extinct civilization left huge footprint behind yet these missing mysteries are only left as a remainder in the history book with numerous theories. Let us peep into the history and look at the some very famous but extinct civilization. Start from the home, I mean the Indus valley civilization.

Asia

The Indus Valley Civilization

Indus Valley or Harappan Civilization thrived from 3300 to 1300 BC, although the area was settled all the way back to 7000 BC. Despite being one of the largest ancient civilizations, not much is known about the Harappan civilization, mostly because their language has never been deciphered. It is known that they built over one hundred towns and villages including the cities of Harappa and Mohenjo-Daro, each of which was built with an organized layout, and a complex plumbing system with indoor toilets. Evidence suggests that the Harappan had a unified government and that there were no social classes. There is also no evidence of military activity so it is likely that they lived in peace. They were skilled astronomers and were well versed in agriculture, growing wheat, barley, peas, melons, sesame and cotton and domesticating several animals including cattle and elephants.

By around 1700 BCE, most of the cities were abandoned. In 1953, Sir Mortimer Wheeler proposed that the decline of the Indus Civilization was caused by the invasion of an Indo-European tribe from Central Asia called the "Aryans". As evidence, he cited a group of 37 skeletons found in various parts of Mohenjo-Daro, and passages in the Vedas referring to battles and forts. However, scholars soon started to reject Wheeler's theory. Today, many scholars believe that the collapse of the Indus Civilization was caused by drought and a decline in trade with Egypt and Mesopotamia.

The Babylonians

Babylon was an ancient city state in ancient Mesopotamia (present day Iraq). By the fifth century BC it had grown into an empire, governing most of present day Iraq. The city was a centre of art, diplomacy, science and religion. It was briefly conquered by the Assyrian Empire but threw off its captors and re-established its empire under the great king Nebuchandnezzer. Babylon was later captured by the Persians and later the Macedonians, under Alexander the Great. Babylon once again flourished under Alexander but after his death, in 323 BC, the kingdom was divided up.

The city of Babylon subsequently fell into turmoil and obscurity and was subsequently abandoned. All that remained of Babylon in the modern era was a mount of ruins.

Europe

The Minoan

Minoan civilization was a Bronze Age civilization that arose on the island of Crete and came to dominate the shores and islands of the Aegean Sea.  It was rediscovered at the beginning of the 20th century by British archaeologist Arthur Evans. Will Durant referred to this civilization as "the first link in the European chain." Axes, of the type that has been attributed to Homo erectus in Africa and made of local quartz rather than flint, have been found at Preveli Gorge in southern Crete.  Minoan civilization is considered to have begun with the palace complexes that appeared in the Bronze Age. The relationships of the Minoans with the more ancient peoples of Crete are unknown.

Around 1450 BC, Minoan culture experienced a turning point due to a natural catastrophe, possibly an earthquake. Another eruption of the Thera volcano has been linked to this downfall, but its dating and implications remain controversial. Several important palaces in locations such as Mallia, Tylissos, Phaistos, Hagia Triade as well as the living quarters of Knossos were destroyed. The palace in Knossos seems to have remained largely intact

North America

The Mayans

The Maya civilization shares many features with other Mesoamerican civilizations due to the high degree of interaction and cultural diffusion that characterized the region. Advances such as writing, epigraphy, and the calendar did not originate with the Maya; however, their civilization fully developed them. Maya influence can be detected from Honduras, Belize, Guatemala, and western El Salvador to as far away as central Mexico.  Initially established during the Pre-Classic period, according to the Mesoamerican chronology, many Maya cities reached their highest state of development during the Classic period, and continued throughout the Post-Classic period until the arrival of the Spanish.

The Maya centers of the southern lowlands went into decline during the 8th and 9th centuries and were abandoned shortly thereafter. This decline was coupled with a cessation of monumental inscriptions and large-scale architectural construction.

The Mayans are still around, a lot of them are married to people with Spanish heritage, but there are small villages of Mayan people still in Guatemala at the very least.  

Africa

The Ancient Egypt

Egypt the wonders of this ancient culture remained hidden, seemingly lost and forgotten for ever. Then, in the late eighteenth century, Napoleon's invasion of the country sparked an explosion of interest in ancient Egypt that burns as strongly today as ever. The obsession with anything and everything Egyptian has inspired many to dedicate their lives to the search for treasure in Egypt's sands.  Ancient Egypt the land of the Pharaohs. Surely the most inspiring of all the ancient and lost civilizations, as the fascination with the society, the structures and the monuments continues on to this day, thousands of years later. The ancient Egyptians were culture obsessed with death and spent their lives preparing for the cross over to the other side. Though theories abound, the exact answer to the question of how the Egyptians built the pyramids may never be found. The fact mastery of mathematics and science certainly helped, though the labour component of that equation is undecided. The Egyptians were a highly organized society. Slaves and workers were overseen by a ruling class of architects, intellectuals and scribes. The highest order were the priests and scribes (writers). All members of the society, from farmers to scribes, were seen as having equal rights.

During the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, Egyptian pagan culture was in decline after the rise of Christianity and later Islam, but interest in Egyptian antiquity continued in the writings.

The Dil Less Delhi - The Guilt & the Guts!



Enough written about it and since 16th December until now all television channels are running fulltime on this horrific incident still I decided to write about it. This blog is sort of my personal E-diary which I am sharing with all and whatever things made me sad or disturbed or even gave me happiness I jotted it down here. Last couple of years I am doing it but never with a mindset that I am wearing now. I am angry and very sad too. It was all about the Gutsy Girl, who raped and killed by six beasts. It is happening everyday and every corner in India and also in other countries too but in India in every half-hour a woman gets raped. Sometime, the women never come forward due to social stigma but hope the Delhi incident may change the outlook. Women should understand that world with you and not with the rapist. Even rapist are thrashed by the hardcore criminal who were lodged in the jail for some other crime. A rapist should face total social boycott. To stop it we all should take a collective measure and men’s are more importantly should involved it in on their own.

The incident that shocked the nation.

On December 16, a Sunday, the victim, a 23-year-old trainee paramedic, and her friend had boarded the bus at night thinking it was a public bus. The privately owned bus, which had tinted glass panes and curtains, ferried children to and from a Delhi public school on weekdays. The officer said driver Ram Singh had told investigators about the Sunday night "fun rides". Same evening, the accused had apparently partied at Ram Singh the main accuser’s home at a south Delhi slum, cooking chicken and drinking heavily, before setting out with the bus. Ram's younger brother Mukesh was at the wheel. Ram, gym assistant Vinay Sharma, fruit seller Pawan Gupta, bus cleaner Akshay Thakur, and the sixth accused, who claims to be a minor, sat inside.

They picked up passengers and robbed one of them, Ram Adhar, of his gold chain, the officer said. Here's the subsequent sequence of events as mentioned in the FIR, which will be part of the chargesheet to be filed on January 3 in a fast-track court, seeking the death penalty for all the accused. Around 9, the accused spot the couple waiting at Munirka bus stop and ask them their destination. Told that it's Dwarka, they say the bus too is headed that way. The unsuspecting couple board it. They mistake three of the accused, sitting in passenger seats, for commuters. The cleaner shuts the door.

The accused pass lewd remarks at the victim, asking why she's alone with a man late at night. When the friend protests, he is attacked. The friend beats up two accused but the gym assistant attacks him with an iron rod. Three accused drag the woman to the back seat and rape her; the others join in later. The victim fights back and bites the hands of three accused, who get angry and brutalise her with an iron rod. According to the doctors at Safdarjung Hospital “It appears to be that a rod was inserted into her and it was pulled out with so much force that the act brought out her intestines... That is probably the only thing that explains such severe damage to her intestines.” Hair and blood samples of the victim have been found on Ram's nails.

After 45 minutes of brutality, the accused strip the duo and throw them out of the moving bus on a roadside after taking away their cellphones and wallets. Ram asks Mukesh to run the couple over. Ram takes the wheel from Mukesh and drops the other accused home. He cleans the bloodstains before parking the bus at its owner's place in Noida in the early hours. Two eyewitnesses have claimed to have seen Ram destroy evidence. Security cameras on the main highway NH8 allegedly furnished footage which is helping the police.

The merciless rape case has horrified a nation that has become jaded to such assaults against women. Sexual violence has long been a serious and widespread problem in India, where perpetrators of such crimes often go unpunished.

It is not the culprit but we too also guilty for her suffering, which ultimately ends with the death. We are accustomed to the too much ‘chalta hai’ attitude and never realise that something like this always happening and going to happen. We cannot rely on our government, never helped by the politicians, we cannot reach for our administration and woefully police always unavailable when needed, true like Hindi movies. The movement taken place should continue and hope something like this never happen again. However, the series of event thereafter shows that all men’s are not men but only bunch of beast. There is never ending news breaking out from every parts of the country, it indicate that we are going to die with the hope and never taste its fulfillment.
