your correlation of a gurgling sound in the belly to a volcano has reminded me of my childhood, when boiling of water in my grandparents’ electric kettle would scare me with the fear of an impending explosion but my grandfather grinned with confidence as he had trust in ‘cut off’
Gandhi’s should not be worried as they are not, bcoz they’ve confidence in cut off
In a country where two women’s brutal rape and murder ,half a dozen killings, weeks of complete shut down in kashmir thousands of protesters’s injuries (asiya neelofer jan case in kashmir) could not bring justice to the families, you can not expect revolution with a candle light march at indiagate

In 1976 at work in Montreal the talk with an Algerian colleague turned to Indian movies.
Tee hee, tee hee, he grinned, making a suggested gesture of a stiff penis with his arm. He told that the Indian movies were popular with the Arab Sheikhs who used it for titillation.

Now 1976 is was Victorian era. This is 2012.

The victim had just left the cinema. I would not be surprised if it came out that the rapists had also come out of a movie, and imitated life with art.

India’s male dominated culture has wrought untold misery on women, and the current leadership is pathetic in the face of challenges. The culture has lost its old values of respecting women, and does not have the civility to see women as humans. The hope was that the younger generation might bring the much needed change, but they seem to lack the zeal of the generation that liberated the country. The generation that followed the liberators will go down in history as the worst. They are only concerned with glorifying themselves and have no clue as to their responsibilities. We can only hope that, by some miracle, the next generation will be more enlightened.

Under the belly of this rape case, lies the moral corruption in our people and values. How do you end corruption, moral or otherwise? How do u stop people from lying, being cowards & immoral, being corrupt and hypocrite? This is a timeless problem of humanity. We tried to solve it with religion, in the name of God and those same corrupt people misused the name of God most to hurt the humanity further. We tried to solve it with inclusive governance, democratic systems that brought up a liberal, loose system, where the same people misused it thoroughly. Finally, it all boils down to having better individuals, no matter what laws or systems you create. How do you make people better as a human being? What inspires someone to be just and moral? what drive someone else to become utterly selfish and morally corrupt? probably, as a society we need to be totally intolerant towards morally corrupt people. But who will define morality? or is morality enough? we need to create an atmosphere where good prevails. I don’t know, if we can ever achieve that. world never achieved that. There were always bad people and there was always crime & corruption. I have given up on this society and any idealistic dreams i used to have about human life. I don’t have answers and i am so bloody angry and frustrated.

You play with fire, you get burned.
On the one side there is public outrage, from English educated middle class.
On the other side a billion souls weaned on Bollywood that objectifies women more than Hollywood does.
Bollywood wins hands down.

What volcano?

This is the same visceral hatred which supported Anna for a year till it became boring. Last I heard he could not gather even 500 people.

Public deserves the leaders it gets.

Lets see how long the protests last? It has become a fashion to light a candle on India gate. Society doesnt change with lighting candles.

I feel like saying Sorry. I am sorry for the fact that I could not stop you from dying, could not reduce your pain by sharing some of it and for being from a gender that not only has the ability to rape women but in some cases also the intent and tendency. May god bless you goirl where ever you are.
