Woman Gangraped, Killed and Hung from a Tree in Bihar

Last updated on: January 13, 2013 at 11:30 pm By Desh Kapoor

I know a lot has been written about rape and rape cases. Jyoti’s rape itself was a demonstration of mind-numbing inhuman traits… Worse than animals. Now, this another one – close on heels of so many others, is equally baffling. Do we not have human beings living in India anymore? In a shocking incident, a woman who got down from a Delhi-bound train in Bhagalpur district, was gangraped, killed and her semi-naked body hung from a tree in a mango... Read more

Solutions are needed in India, not Outrage!

Last updated on: January 13, 2013 at 11:20 am By Desh Kapoor

A country is not a one-celled animal that it can only focus or do one thing at a time. Nor is a human being so. A country needs to have an organizational ability (through its Executive, Administrative, Legislative, and Judiciary) to tackle many fronts at the same time. Lately, we have had a horrendous incident of Rape, which has brought the issue of rape to the fore-front. Now, it seems rapes are happening everywhere and everyday and with every one. ... Read more

Yet another Bus Gang rape – in Punjab – and victim dumped

Last updated on: January 13, 2013 at 6:39 am By Desh Kapoor

Judgments are mostly visual, no thought is even involved

Last updated on: January 13, 2013 at 6:20 am By Desh Kapoor

When they say “Beauty is in the eye of the Beholder”, apparently they were dot on! Judgments – causal ones – are indeed made only in the eyes. Judgment, say about beauty, wouldn’t even involve the mind! So, do we even think while making a judgment about someone? This is not a rhetorical or even a philosophical question. Medically, researchers are finding out that at the primary level of judgment no thought is employed. Judgments are only at the level... Read more

If Bollywood has established Women as no more than Sex Objects, then why does it protest the rapes so much??

Last updated on: January 12, 2013 at 10:42 pm By Desh Kapoor

Are the Bollywood just being holier-than-thou when it comes to issues, while in their films they themselves showcase women as sex objects? People like Mahesh Bhatt, whose heart probably beats for every social ill, which he blames on Religion, is probably the shallowest of them all. No one has used women.. and I want to deliberately have that word here.. USE…. as much as Mahesh Bhatt. Specifically, in his movies. Using Porn Stars is not to show the acting talent... Read more
