Shame, Shame!

Some members of an Indian Youth team (touring China) made disparaging comments on Chinese girls and did not spare some of their own compatriots from the Northeast...News (http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2012-07-22/india/32787718_1_youth-delegation-indian-girls-youth-affairs) My take: Remaining part of their tour should be cancelled. They should be flown back to India and formally charged and arrested on arrival at the airport. The punishment should be swift and the maximum permissible under law for such crimes. Our lawmakers are requested to seriously consider reintroduction of the Indian Whipping Act for offences like rape/molestation and eveteasing (Remember that the British ruled us by freely using the provisions of this dreaded Act). The Indian Penal Code can be suitably amended. There should be provision of a minimum of 12 lashes to be given in a public place for proven offences of rape/molestation and say ten for eveteasing. Tell me what would you prefer to see in India - women being raped/molested/teased in public or the offenders of such crimes being whipped in public, following the due process of law? Now dont tell be that whipping in public would be uncivilised, barbaric and primitive as if raping, molestation and eveteasing are less uncivilised, heinous and barbaric crimes!

  1. I second your opinion for sure Chat... however you are being lenient on the number of lashes for rape... it can't be less than 50 for scarring a woman for life... minimum 50 it has to be!
