[QUOTE="Tejwant Singh, post: 189900, member: 138"] Akasha ji, Guru Fateh. Yes, rape is the worst possible thing that can happen to anyone. It leaves scars for the rest of one’s life on the victims. Having said that, I take issue with you about what you said and the way you put it. You write: That is a bold, blanket,false and unfair statement which shows your lack of knowledge and disdain towards the Indian society which is a shame. I have 6 sisters. None of them were treated the way you claim. My parents had celebration for all of them. All are happily married. My mum took girls from the villages, trained them and married them off. When my daughter Jaskeerat was born, and we had no idea whether it was going to be a boy or a girl. We celebrated in the same way, so did my mum in India. So, I take offence in your claims which are not based on facts. Which story book did you get that from? This may be true in some parts of the society but it would be a very minute part and the same is true in some parts of Canada and the US as well. Check the Mormons, The JW's Christians about this among other sects I agree, the change has to happen in all societies, including Canada which is 23th in rapes and India is 100th in the world. France is 1st in rapes, so does that mean the French society is worse than the Indian one? The same question should be asked about Canada as compared to India. The facts are here for you to check. You mean Canada being 23rd in rapes is due to the south Asian macho population that lives there and represses women? [url]http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/cri_rap-crime-rapes[/url] These kinds of blanket statements without the facts demean the very gender you want to protect. We shall talk about the sexual assaults in the armed forces in the US, UK and Canada in a bit. What do you mean when you say so gallantly, [B]“If India goes on teaching their daughters that they are merely there to please men”? [/B]Which India are you talking about? You are talking about my parents who raised their kids very well. Once again, this is a false statement not based on any facts and very offensive, I must add. Again, you are low on facts and they are upside down. It is not about the sexual repression anymore but the sexual liberation. It all started in the 90’s with the call centres and the rise in IT industry which gave girls the opportunity to leave their homes and be independent. Boys and girls have started living together without getting married. There are more graduate kids in India than in The US, UK, Canada combined. The kids who do not get selected to the IIT(Indian Institute of Technology) are taken by the Ivy league colleges with full scholarships. Of course there are bad apples and many of them in the growing population of 1.3 billion. The news travels fast which is good because then one can find remedies which is not the case of rapes daily happening in Canada and the US. I will lay down the facts about them. The good thing is rapes are being highlighted which will force the changes in law.

The same can be said of the so called civilized society. The sexual assaults in the armed forces of the US and Canada are well known. You are part of the armed forces. Why no hue and cry from you for that? Here are the facts. Below is just the snippet of the whole article: {“What happened is this: One instructor has been convicted of rape and multiple cases of aggravated sexual assault of female trainees, and 16 other trainers have been charged or are under investigations for crimes ranging from aggravated sexual assault to improper sexual relationships with 42 female trainees. That places Lackland atop an infamous list of military sexual-abuse scandals, including the Navy’s Tailhook convention in Las Vegas in 1991 (83 female and seven male victims of sexual assault by more than 100 Navy and Marine Corps aviation officers); the Army’s Aberdeen Proving Ground in 1996 (12 Army officers charged with sexually assaulting female trainees); the Air Force Academy in 2003 (12 percent of female graduates reported having been victims of rape or attempted rape, and 70 percent said they had been sexually harassed); and the Marine Barracks in Washington in recent years, where the documentary The Invisible War interviewed five female Marines who reported having been raped (the Corps investigated and disciplined four of the women after they reported the rapes but punished none of the accused officers).} [url]http://www.nationaljournal.com/magazine/the-military-s-rape-problem-20120913[/url] Here is some more for you to know: “According to a 2012 anonymous survey released last month by the U.S. Department of National Defense, an estimated 6.1 per cent of active duty women and 1.2 per cent of men were victims of unwanted sexual contact. That translates to roughly 12,000 women who were assaulted and 14,000 men _ up from an estimated 19,300 victims in 2010”. Now let’s talk about the problem in your country: Phillip Millar, a lawyer representing several women who allege they were sexually assaulted by a now retired Canadian Forces medical technician, says the military’s “macho culture” keeps men quiet. “It’s hard to even know what’s happening because the culture discourages reporting so much,” he said. [url]http://news.nationalpost.com/2013/06/09/canadian-forces-survey-asks-troops-to-shed-light-on-sexual-assault-harassment/[/url] Is that the Indian culture they are talking about above? Here are some more facts for you to be aware of: There is an average of 207,754 victims (age 12 or older) of rape and sexual assault each year.1 [url]http://www.rainn.org/get-information/statistics/frequency-of-sexual-assault[/url] REFERENCES 1. U.S. Department of Justice. National Crime Victimization Survey. 2006-2010. And they are not talking about India above. The truth Akasha ji is that you stand more chances of getting raped in Canada and in your Navy barracks than in India. You are a Sikh, a truth seeker now. Start treading on this path with an open mind and with the facts in your hands. And stop being offensive. I expected a lot more from you. Tejwant Singh [/QUOTE]
