A page to share random musings... an odd butterfly fluttering around.. a rare bloom to talk about... my next trip to plan... and yes, the new maid has joined! A page belonging to an author, a traveller, a compulsive decision maker of late... do keep dropping in to catch up on some gupp-shupp with me and do be prepared to put up with some anaap-shnaap rantings too :D

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!
