4 Pahariya girls dragged out of hostel, raped by 25 drunk men (TOI)

SHAMEFUL, ABOMINABLE, HORRIFIC, DISGUSTING - I will fall short of adjectives to describe this incident! (4 Pahariya girls dragged out of hostel, raped by 25 drunk men)

Rapes in India are on an all time high or at least we see them everyday strewn ALL over the paper, making new headlines everyday.

And I DON'T believe in the psychoanalysis of rapists; it's such a horrendous crime!

What/who can be blamed? The government? The laws? The sex taboo? The people? Ignorance? Everyone? Everything? I don't know what to say - I am speechless!

We definitely need very strong laws and strong action against the perpetrators. Twenty years or even life time imprisonment is not enough for rapists. We should set an example and show it to the ENTIRE country that if anyone sexually abuses someone, they will be castrated and then stoned to death! 

In a country like India, where a woman's chastity is her prime ornament, half of such horrific acts are not even registered with the police. It's the 21st century - we must get over such ridiculous beliefs and practices. Any kind of sexual assault is incriminating and there is nothing more foolish than acquitting the attacker on moral/cultural/social."duniya kya kahegi" norms! This encourages them to go one step further every time. 

I am leaving this article open ended. I really want people to participate!
