On Murthal
by Meha Khanduri
This article nearly never got written because as I start to write on the issue I start seeing red. When India was raptly watching students of a prestigious university go through a long drama of whether slogan shouting students had committed sedition or not…rampaging mobs were burning, looting, and ransacking the cities of Haryana, right next door to the capital Delhi. Nobody was really outraged, no resignations were called for, no charges of sedition were made and after nearly two days of looting and burning worth 34000 crores, the government cordially accepted the demands of the rampaging mobs and the burning and looting came to an end. An amicable solution all around..except for criminality and couple of thousand crores of national property but …..this is India!
Four days later some ghost stories started floating around. The whispers said that not only Haryana’s cities had been burnt and ransacked; women commuters had been raped too on the highways. The police however assured us that these were all rumors being spread by nasty people. However they refused to die. Soon a newspaper, The Tribune, did a story on how women travellers coming to Delhi were dragged out of their cars by mobs on a National Highway 1 at Murthal in Sonepat district of Haryana and gang raped by mobs. That the paper reported this happened only about 2 hours from Delhi, near a very popular eating spot, made it more shocking. But the Haryana government and the police breezily denied these, ignoring that the newspaper was an established one, and not given to salacious stories.
Well, the newspaper stuck to its guns quoting eyewitnesses. Initially three eyewitnesses—Hari Krishan of Kurad, Zile Singh of Hassanpur and Amrik Singh—came forward, saying women were sexually assaulted. Eyewitness Niranjan Singh told The Sunday Standard: “I saw these men chasing women in the fields, and assaulting and tearing off their clothes.’’ The Tribune report also mentioned the raped women were met by the police and instead of being taken to a hospital for examination, they were advised paternally by the policemen and the district administration to not file a complaint and go home. The police even dropped many home solicitously, instead of taking them to a hospital or filing an FIR.
In the fields where nothing had happened, torn bras, panties and various undergarments of women were found strewn about. The police collected them and sent them for forensic examination. But nobody was still outraged –perhaps the women themselves were struck by a sudden urge to become nude while travelling through. No minister thought it worth his or her while to comment on such trivial issues. But the courts for once woke up, took suo moto cognizance of the report and ordered an inquiry. That gave some faint hope to the horrified citizens following the story.
In response to the court inquiry, the local Police issued casual notices saying if women had been gang raped could they please come up and contact the police? No mention was made of the policemen who were supposed to have pressed the women not to press charges. No effort was made to find out the cars, which had passed through the tollgates. No Indian woman was surprised when not a single woman came to volunteer about her gang rape. To add insult to injury the number of the lady DIG given to contact was wrong and belonged to a resident of Indore. The New Indian Express, a reputed newspaper quoted a senior police official as saying that: “there is too much political pressure to play down the incident.”
But the unkindest cut for the women of India was saved for the last. As the Parliament met for the budget session there was hope that all the national representatives at the highest level would be outraged by this incident. The opposition would clamor and the government would be forced to take stern measures against the criminals and those shielding the,. The opposition did outrage, the government especially a woman minister did indulge in splendid melodramatics but not for the women of India. For two days the Indian Parliament was in furore over demon worship and the honor of the mythical goddess Durga.
Yes you read that correctly: DISCUSSING THE MYTHICAL GODDESS DURGA’S HONOUR WAS MORE IMPORTANT TO INDIAN PARLIAMENT THAN DISCUSSING ASSAULT ON REAL INDIAN WOMEN!!!!
I can’t think of any civilized country in which such a thing would happen. At that point I realized a very important thing: This is what the worth of a woman in India. NOTHING. Don’t get fooled by the glitzy ads showing beautifully groomed career women who are also empowered at home. Don’t be fooled by the number of women in the Parliament or careers. Don’t be fooled by the tall promises made after the Nirbhaya rape. All women are in India are pieces of property, meant to protect the honor of the man, the family, the country. To expect respect as a normal human being, as an equal citizen deserving equal rights is futile. I’ve given up. Just hope that you can be a goddess someday, from the flesh and blood human you are.
PS: Till the time of this article going for publication two victims have come forwarded and narrated their ordeal of being gang-raped along with many other women. They are mothers and wives and young women and teenagers. They say that they ” were advised by the officials there not to report the matter for the sake of honour, because what has happened could not be undone,” and are terrified of going to a police which wants to bury the incident. However the eyewitnesses have now turned hostile. News of the Murthal rapes has completely vanished from the national media. All is well in India.

These are times when my love for my country is shaken and more so I feel ashamed of being a man.

Really a shame on o’s and our hypocrite media. ..so irresponsible to not to make it an important news and flat it every hour…shame on our system which is giving right to some in gvt jobs/education system. …and not bothered for basic right to freedom and security. ..really shame
…Of course no reason to celebrate women’s day.
Reblogged this on Where's Rationality?.
This is absolutely outrageous if the story has any merits.. The whole concept of destroying government properties and mobs attacking civilians is something that happens only in India without any punishment. Can we not create a private website where women who suffered can come forward and share the truth. Also Meha can you pls do an article how the Indian men and women are suffering because of false dowry cases 498a in India where scorny behaviour of one woman destroys an entire family.
Reblogged this on Just A Thought and commented:
This is hardly surprising. And just as painful as all the other news and articles about similar issues we have read, and will continue to read. Because, we have no time to fix these issues. No time to deliver justice to those who have been wronged for now fault of theirs. Our calendars are full, you see. Dealing with non-issues and faux-causes.
This is a very pathetic situation.There is no security for the women,something needs to be done very fast.strict action needs to be taken against people found guilty.
this is the tragedy of india ! when i was talking to myfriends they just didnt accept wht i was trying to tell them … women undergarments dont get thrown around just like that !! msomething terrible had happened …. many of them agree but just close their eyes
This is so bad…i wonder why we can’t do much about all this…. we can write articles… post videos… bring awareness but these things just keep rising… the graph never falls down . It’s dissappointing
The worst bit is that I’m not surprised at all 🙁
sheer mockery of the system
They have behaved like a backward class – thought Jats were honourable people. Its their honour that lies in the fields of Murthal. I am happy that you have declared yourself backward and I do hope you wallow in your backwardness. You will never rise from your backwardness. Your next step should be to ask for being the Barbarian Class. Wah JAT you have lost it all.
They were “honourable people” but over the years with the quick money from sale of land in the NCR region and various other factors they are in the grip of vices and far removed from an honourable life and such values. Vice and muscle power rule and language has totally degenerated to use to excessive expletives !
you are getting somewhere,… can you please elaborate? i don’t mean to emphasize the blaming part,.. but i feel the way power changes hands has a lot to do with how the hands use it!
So far there is no immediate death penalty for such types of heinous crime thing will continue or Indian woman have to be duration goddess to kill mahiasur.
I really wish if a law is passed where the rapist or even the teasers r tied up with a pole or tree and is stoned till death. People who have no respect for women should be ashamed of being called a human. On man can not change the system for this all of us need to take an initiative to change this male dominance. Infact I also think our laws are week. Strict laws to be implemented . let’s hope for the better days.to come
Very well written. We DO waste time on mundane issues, while important ones take a back seat
It seems true incident but very unfortunate no action taken in this regard
People react fast …they become goverenment themselves….media go on showing clips…same 7 torn ugs…then starts tweets….horrible……but they keep quite when JNU becomes anti national…
Well wait for time….it will be proved that it was publicity of some people….we are haryanvis…we know it can never happen in Haryana.
What happened to beti bachao
You may have to understand few things first.
First- Media who few days ago reported that “the famous dhaba” was burned was not burned at all . in fact it was a shelter for the travelers. ( stated by the dhaba itself on fb). News report later says that the victims were taken to the dhaba to their family post rape and asked not to take it forward. So did people raped them and then dropped them to the dhaba which is apparently burned.
Second- if this was happening , instead of being surprised of this topic not discussed in Parliament, I will be surprised that people saw them running without shoes and passport but didn’t bother to alert others and help the women.
Third- There is only one women who came forward and said her 15 year old daughter was not harmed but she was raped by her brother in law and six others.
Fourth- If this is the real picture of bra found, I want to ask who wore that dancing blingy satin bra?
From
Lalita Dahiya
Born and brought up in rohtak haryana.don’t reside in India anymore. But want to point out one thing, I have never been Eve teased or touched inappropriately in my state. Experienced countless times outside my state .
True. Whatever it is it should be the truth and only the truth. But if JAT’s were so considerate why the south Haryana burnt on those days ? Is that something wise and considerate to destroy the properties of Non JAT’s ? Also JAT’s in Haryana had de-facto reservation from the JAT politicians over the last 3-4 decades resulting in them cornering the most lucrative Govt jobs. This was done at the expensive of merit and other communities were left out. Let the complete truth be told …not only something which suits your community ?
That’s a great reply, again with more speculation and conjecture than facts.
(1) We believe that the state has a monopoly over violence. Why again, didn’t the Khattar government stop the violence instead of blaming on a mob and prevent destruction of property? What action did Mr. Khattar take against Mr. Saini who called a community the sons of pigs?
(1) Where are the two women who were raped? Can the author of the article or Mr. Vashisht care to share the news articles? I am genuinely curious.
(2) “Also JAT’s in Haryana had de-facto reservation from the JAT politicians over the last 3-4 decades resulting in them cornering the most lucrative Govt jobs.” Well the State Backward Commission (01 report, 07 report) thinks that’s certainly not the case. Jat’s proportion in govt jobs, specifically in Class I and Class II services is MUCH lower than their proportion of the population. In fact, I can make the argument to the contrary: Brahmins have 5% of population share and have “cornered” 23% of Central government jobs thanks to the patronage of the Congress Party. Do you have any facts to support your argument?
Or are you blinded with visceral hatred that does not see beyond casteist lens and does not have a fact base to support?
//Fourth- If this is the real picture of bra found, I want to ask who wore that dancing blingy satin bra?//
Wow! That all you could focus on while reading the write up. the freaking bra. why does it matter who wore what?
Protest was there for quite few days before the violence occurred. I am not here to play blame game but something triggered it for sure. It was not only non-jat community which was harmed and properties were burned and robbed. Many jat shops were also damaged. And many just picked up there items from the shop before it could burn or robbed. So if media showed you 20 shops robbed and burned. 10 were from jat community as well. And about 80% of shops were not robbed, owners just removed there stuff from there. ( how do I know this, I have a family living in rohtak and witnessed it).
Politicians are politicians. Jat or non- jat never made any difference. How good the politician is that matters.
Reservation in general is a socital poison. We allow govt long time back to make reservations on the basis of caste. It should not be in the systen at all but if it is then it should be given who need it. You should go to the village and see if there is any school and if there is any, is there a teacher who can motivate kids or even teach them.
Govt is not able to provide education or job or security.we love to buy things from malls because they must be clean or organic, why dont we try and support them. We want to have amul milk, fatfree or flavoured, why dont we buy milk from them.
We as a fellow citizen are not ready to help them and want govt to fix everything.
If this is the toy which can help jat (I am talking about farmers) , we need that reservation toy really bad before commit more suicide and leave our families behind to struggle.
I am married to a non jat, so my community is jat and non jat.
People were trying to save their lifetime investments from your cousins that’s why your “relatives” see them emptying their shops.
Government has budget to setup hospitals, school and other facilities in villages. They have more than you can imagine, but the problems is lack of suitable people. People like you have already left the country and many have moved to metros. Who will teach them? Your arrogant and incompetent cousins who just want reservations to disturb the life of thousands?
And you did not chose Jat husband tell everything how much you like them. Get a life.
Lalita Dahiya,
You may need to understand few things:
First) Eyewitness mentioned a crowed came who took the woman including mothers with their daughter from their cars. Check your uncle’s shop. Not a single Jaat lost anything in the riot. Non-jaat shops were targeted.
Second) No one was surprised, your cousins were enjoying the show. They were among the mob who wanted to have reservation otherwise they will rape our women. (but don’t worry, you are safe. You were never molested in Haryana but in rest of India so you left the country and you are absolutely safe now.)
Fourth) It might be your cousin or sister in law who was wearing it but never bothered to share with you, and you know why? Because it is none of your f*** business what they wear.
Grow up, open your eyes. You might be in Europe, America or elsewhere but I bet you still have your sick rude mentality. Check with your neighbours, they are still afraid of you.
As I said I am not here to play blame game. As far as what my cousins are doing. They are protecting you at the border and 6 of them are from my family. I think you need to grow up and learn how to write since what you have replied to my comment doesn’t make any sense, “RANDOM CITIZEN “.
Reblogged this on mindblogging @ my will: a plethora of thoughts and commented:
i am ashamed. i am indian and i am a man. i am scared too
Meha, I have so much regard for you, to have taken this initiative and penning down your thoughts and sharing the plain brutal truth. I cannot agree more with each and every word written by you and I’m so glad that at least some people, some of us have the real balls to say it out loud. Not like the rest of them who only have those metaphorical balls!
Keep it up and bravo! 🙂
Bharat Mata ki Jai….Pun intended!
The only problem is..we don’t know if it really happened..How do you know if the police dropped them home? These girls have not even come forward to speak about it..I think people like you are a disgrace since you are using a “we don’t know if it’s true” situation to accuse the govt.. PLEASE SHUT UP . Sincerely, A woman.
There is a saying in Tamil which when translated goes like this – “A woman’s enemy is another woman”.
Sad to hear all this
Parliament is full of people giving importance to themselves rather than taking this issue of plight of women
Alas! Humanity is dead.
1. Feeling doomed to be part of a nation …
whose humane values have touched nadir …
INDIA… Bharatmata…… kahana ho aap…
Where are all those god’ and goddesses……
The wrecked soul is calling u…….!!!!
2. First of all …. feeling ashamed and appalled too.
3. I am myself a men…..
but what these bastards have done…
There fuckin deed …
DESERVE only one fucking thing…….
” HANG TILL DEATH”….
Plz chop there….. instrument ….
which fuckin hang for any fuckin anything …
Before summoning them to death
4. I m too rude
With language…. plz pardon me … EDITOR
BUT PLZ DO POST THE COMMENT
Instead of backward caste status, those people should be given criminally retarded caste status.
Ma’am you are right. this is a country of fools. when women of influential are protected, what is the need for protection of commoners . Ma’am thought i cannot change the mentality of masses but we can try to change ourselves. it’s disgusting that we talk of india, money and world but donot talk about morality which is dying.
It is really shocking and shameful event.Drastic mindset has to be implemented.And we as women had to raise voice with more determination.
Is it just me or are people really scared to even share this? It has been 6 days and not a single comment? This article caught my attention. But I doubt if there is any hope left for us. You can’t count the number of ongoing crimes in India right now; while I am writing this, or you are reading this. I give up.
The media really picks and chooses what it wants. When one student hangs himself in Hyderabad, everyone converges there and is covered day after day, like the world is going to end. When three girls, who had tried to fight for justice for months, are murdered in Tamil Nadu, no coverage. When a Dalit boy is forced to drink petrol and is burnt alive in Pune, no coverage. When a student in Kannur is hacked right in front of his aged parents, no coverage. The media goes by what suits their own political and non-political masters the best.
Shame.
and then come this shocker from a woman minister …
http://www.nydailynews.com/news/world/india-minister-women-marital-rape-crime-article-1.2562419
In the midst of the outrage which we all feel and must feel I suggest to spare a moment to think that do we educated middle and upper middle class influence politics and ensure voting to the right man/woman (lets find them ) . It is important that we vote 100% and it’s time we influence politics for the better of India. Till then let Indian’s wage war and riot….. 🙁

outrageous! Sitting miles away from Delhi, makes me worry about my mom, sisters, friends and every woman out there. Its a shame on our public system
this is an indication to a situation which is more than horrible ! Perhaps not Human’s but Humanity’s End is Near
all the humanist are from columbia university who are the likes of wendy doniger out to get screw India and its integrity given every incident possible. ofcourse incident is condemnable , you cant have an orderly riot. probably many things you have quoted are fiction ( as one of the comments have pointed out), many did things might have happened which were wrong..
every possible situation include hinduism and its god and relate the incident and potray in a badlight .. sick and tried of people like you…
TRUE OR FALSE, IT SHOULD BE EXAMINED WITH HONESTY AND IF THE REPORT IS TRUE, THEN HARSHEST PUNISHMENT SHOULD BE GIVEN TO THE CULPRITS AS WELL THE POLICE OFFICIALS WHO FORCED THE VICTIMS , NOT TO FILE A COMPLAINT. RESPONSIBILITIES MUST ALSO BE FIXED ON PEOPLE WHO WERE DUTY BOUND TO SAVE THE PEOPLE AND THEIR PROPERTIES, AND THEY SHOULD BE PUNISHED HARSHLY.

Welcome to India where we talk about development and other issues. we call ourselves cultured people. we Value our culture and values so much that we dont even care if we are doing female feticide and honor killing . these situations makes me feel insecure about me and my closed ones. these situations make me not to trust my legal system where a juvenile gets free from rape charges. where cases like Muruthal happens and there is no room for justice. is this our mistake that we live in such a country and is it our fault that we believed in our legal system ? ” where are Good times Mr Modi ” Yes, Yes i know you cant blame everything on him but guys just answer one of my question. what is our system doing in such cases ?
Absolutely spot on.
No Indian woman will come forward to speak about this incident easily.
Makes me ashamed of this country, it’s citizens and government.

Ok. Everyday Same Shit. Lost hope for any kind of CHANGE IN INDIA.
The problem is police department reports to state / central government. They should be reporting to politically neutral individuals such as Governors of states and President. All entities handling with law and order should not be under political party influences so that actual law and order prevails and nobody is above it.
Did you try publishing this in a leading newspaper? This is not about the ruling party or the opposition. I know all of them will start playing the blame game as they always have. But a column in the Hindu or TOI or others could at least get this some audience.
The Khattarji government has no reason to suppress the events. It stands only to gain by consolidation of votes against Jats..It came to power for the first time ever in the state based on non jat votes.
Rage is an industry, and we should atleast pay some . Please keep in mind Ishrat Jahan. If a terrorist was made a national hero by national level leadership, I have no doubt they can use rape allegation for character assassination of a community.
its shocking and many questions raised in my mind….

Brutal
I’m glad I read this.
Last para first line- ‘Two victims have come forwarded?’. Although its off topic, I hope you proofread the articles and then share them. I think if there are such glaring grammatical mistakes in your article( which reflects the sloppiness on your part), it will become difficult for people to believe the incidents which you have mentioned in the article( since they require an in-depth research and a fastidious attitude). Lastly, I hope the truth comes out and the culprits, if any, are punished.
Cheers!!
32 thousand crores Indian rupeess had been lost shops, malls even banks were plundered life become lifeless, women empowerement become a distant dream since they were powered by hooligans they were raped in the day sunlight ,countrys image had been fragmented into pieces like the raped women clothes. There was a place called Haryana i am talkng about.Tragedy does not end here real tragedy starts from here ordinary man, ordinary words quite understandbly makes an extra ordinary speech before a friendly crowd he is surely a leader material he really sends across the mesaage of Indianess impeccably . Now the great indian media tamsha begins ,fully exploitaing the typical Indian mentality that is bhed chaal.The land of Lord Krishna suddenly becomes the land of kanahiiyaa !!!! whyyyy all that is left that kanhaiyya should be provided a flute as well by these media houses inorder to satiate their egos and their fight within thier industry Arnab Goswami suddenly becomes tacit and ndtv becomes boisterous not surprisingly but suddenly and we indians are a mere watchers . The problem is we Indians dont priortize what to watch and what not to watch . ALL I WANT TO SAY IS HARAYANA IS A MUCH BIGGER ISSUE DONT LET IT BE IGNORED bhed chall can be avoided.

Thank you for this incisive write-up. Our country is burning and if we do not act in unison there will be nothing left. The current government and it’s supporters want to polarize India into a radical Hindu faction and denounce liberals and intellectuals and anti-national. The rest (Congress, AAP, Communist parties et al) are trying to gain political mileage from any and everything in this country.
Sadly, I can clearly see telltale signs of the polarization that will drive our country straight into a brick wall.
But then, isn’t rape common and a natural consequence of our patriarchical society and cultural values? Such news and complaints are usually diacouraged.

we are fucking helpless citizens…for sometime we surely will fume over it and then will forget. I think this is the harsh reality..until something happens to our near ones we fail to react properly
Haryana is the only state, probably in the whole damn World, where there is NO rape case reported, happened. I came to know about that great achievement (by any standard), from Amir Khan’s show- http://www.satyamevjayate.in/fighting-rape.aspx That great example of “Incredible India” should be the tag line for our tourism and we can beat ANY country in the world. All these rumours are to defame BJP and Haryana Govt- simple. Now go back to your bed and enjoy…. “Incredible India”
To be honest, I think indian women are useless. I’m a white guy from a foreign country and have had a few relationships with Indian women and they really suck in bed. So while I also think that indian men are retarded idiots, I do understand the sexual frustration of the average indian male because indian women are incapable of satisfying them sexually.
India is a sexual shithole and this is why people are so crazy in India. The legalization of prostitution would do a lot to help the situation because at least then a lot of those men would have an outlet, and it would also help to lower the stigmas about sex, which would liberate a lot of the women to be more open about sex as well.
Sexual repression is what led to the current state of affairs. Until you indians stop being so damn sexually repressed, this kind of shit will keep happening.
What else can you expect? With sex ratios screwed ,the ,Hindi movies double speak of Durga and virginity on one hand and half naked women thrusting their bodies in your face,with absolute ridiculous so called traditions dinned into your ears ” what else can we expect?.They are protected by law makers who have to protect their jobs.
We dare not accept these and educate these uneducated B when they were in school.Now that a lot of tongue clicking and ha and hooo has been made,lets get back to our mundane lives and wait for the next horror story ,probably in another minute?
This is India shining..Make in India.. Beti bachao..For what???To fulfill the lust of a MAN.. The system is corrupt but sadly we too are a part of this system..Media can work wo sets if they want to..
Similar sentiments by Mrinal Pande in today’s Indian Express
http://indianexpress.com/article/opinion/columns/a-new-mother-india-armed-aggressive/
Is this India?? The country for which we were used to take pledge from the childhood – “India is my country, All boys and girls are my brothers and Sisters”. The jats who did all this shit, were they not taught about it? They raped women on the name of their agitation for reservation, is this seems fine to Indians and India government? I feel ashamed being an Indian where people are “Illiterate even after being educated”. Being a girl, this is not acceptable to me that for getting a right from government, you are rapping a girl, who is not even a part of this, who is not responsible for not giving the reservation. And I Hate those politicians who are ordering and supporting such acts, just to play some “cheap politics”.
And even after showing such illiteracy, if these Illiterate will get the reservation, what will be the future of India?? If they are getting reservation, then expect such acts in India every year or every month, either by them or some other communities to get some other right from govt.
we can react in a very subtle manner but there are two sides. One saying its truth another its false.
Absolutely discouraged, disappointed , disgusted at the treatment of
women in India . Unless Indian women organise and fight against a
society that doesn’t value its women citizens , India will not change .
Women of India , rise up ,demand respect , demand justice, fight
for equal rights, refuse to give dowry, get educated , empowered ,
support other women in their struggle to be free from the restrictions
imposed on you by a culture that only values its men . India needs
a feminist movement , a feminist revolution , to come to its senses !

Don’t be so sad ma’am. India is not what this article represents. This article is a complete shit written on the basis of false media reports, kindly abstain from such news and don’t frame the image of the country on the basis of it…!
Proud Nationalist Indian
U guys believe that what happened I must say not happened that was all fake news n only thing that it was just a news.beleive in practical things n the woman u r taking about she is just a greedy women n asking for money.Nothing has proved hoga kaise kuch huwa nahi.
this is horrific. Unless the culprits are strictly punished it will become a modus operandi of others to come in future. “Do it in a mob and go un-noticed” , it has been weakness of our country. When a crime is committed by one or two people, they are tried and punished, but when hundreds and thousands of them do, we punish none?
Ye bs goddesses ko pray n respect krna jante hai. They dont show respect to real women… Shameful for everyone. Ye kabhi theek nhi hone wala hai.. Everone expects but no one do.. Aj bhi ladke ladkion ko aise stair krtehai jaise unki property ho whether the gals r in shorts or suits. Nothng matters. Y always women suffers!! Y only they raped!!

Sad state 🙁
If another woman questions this merits of this article, she DOES NOT become a woman’s enemy. Give some credit to her intelligence. This is the problem that is plaguing India right now. Absolute and utter terror created by activist women’s organization backed by western ideas of what a society should be like. The laws that have been enacted as a result during Sonia Gandhi rule, have attached the very core of our society. These foolish feminists blinded by their narrow perspective go on a rampage with their slogans and inflammatory writings, discounting facts and making personal attacks on people who question the merits. No one writes of the rampant lawlessness ushered in by the false rape and dowry cases that have resulted from giving too much credence to every complaint filed by a woman to settle her scores with others. The problem is that this flood of abuse of section 498a/DV Act and other such provisions, AND failure by these western educated feminists to help reform that has made people like me doubtful about their approach and intentions.
I hang my head in shame. This shows the rut not only in the system but in every dimension of social fabric.
A country that does not respect its women and children has no future and is doomed to extinction.
It has become fashionable to say Bharat Mata Ki Jai ….. but see the karmas that we as a nation follow when it comes to women.
the assholes got what they wanted. we have such a pathetic system. who bloddy cares about the modesty of women.. the government has done nothing about it.. alll they can do is loot us of our hard earned money in term of taxes. why wouldnt the remaining of educated indians wanna go abroad and settle where atleast people are heard. women respecteed. doing shit in the name of caste system .. When will india rise above these sick shambles!!!
is the government listening???? HEllo.. any body here.. or r u just happy grabbing the 30% taxes and fighting in parliament like dogs.. disgrace!!!!
To the dearest journalist
I condemn your mediocre attempt to sensationalise the whole story without knowing the grounds of your story. Sadly, using sophisticated vocabulary does not necessarily put weight to your words. With the help of efforts from the ‘socially ethic’ media which is hard to find, women have been liberated enoughy to take a stand for themselves if so ever anything happened. Did you not check the insides on the other side of your coat?
1. First, on a highway packed with people and car, noone saw not one but 10 women dragged out of the car?
2. Isn’t it funny how none of the ‘victims’, lets say who are not fictious, came forward with the report?
3. For a riot struck state, the fastest fasttrack cometty was set up to resolve the issue?
4. 16 times a day, this is how often the request from the police to the victims to come out, was broadcasted on 10 different national tv.
5. And do you seriously believe that the fake evidences can’t be planted? Comeon have you verified the details of the authenticity? Would you be one of the journalist to cover the next story of fake evidences?
Open to debate.
All jats should be denied any reservation and all govt jobs be closed for the jats for next 20 years
It was really shameful. Even a high-powered women’s team did nothing in the matter and virtually absolved the criminals. The victims chose to stay mum. A
great shame indeed.
Rapes, in India have become tradition. People in India are not worried about the women/girl, who got raped instead are much worried about their so called reputation. This is what we should call “intolerent”. India has definitely become an unsafe and dangerous people for women to live in. What else could be expected from such sick animals like them?? There should be no forgiveness for such perverts.. They are not worth being hanged. They should be burned alive..
first analyse before writing mam. and mind your language.first of all govt didnt accepted the demands of rampaging mob. a mob has no face, no caste no community. the stir was started by jats , a respectable community and hardworking mostly farmers. conditions of farmers in india is not hidden from anyone. do a little homework for this. the of stir was non violent but was made violent by the tactics of the ruling govt to ensure vote bank of non jats community. all kinds and people from all castes were on streets to loot and burn . the jat community is already bearing the blame for everything as they themselves were not prepared that the things will be given such a bad and communal twist. the jats are not so tech savy and educated to counter all this bad things spread in the name of their caste. the sabotaged the stir badly against the jats. the news of actually what happened at Rohtak and how violence started , has nowhere been shared and shown. as far as murthal rapes are concerned from day one Army and police is claiming no rapes took place. the witnesses have refused this too. there are coming different versions from day one. one version claim that these types of clothes are found in this area earlier also as the girls from nearby girls hostel sometimes discard old clothes in garbage. now the news is coming police may be involved. one version was that it was all because a domestic dispute. as the women who reported this as victims had some domestic dispute with the culprits named. in this era of fast news fast inetrnet world opinion making is simplest thing . but beware. analyse before sharing. even army claimed that no rapes took place during this stir anywhere in haryana. it looks more of a propaganda to malign the image of a particular caste.
How can you say women were not raped? I know a family from UK who went to India and their daughters were raped and left in the fields. My brother-in-law’s car was smashed and several cars were burnt. He was hiding in the fields all night to save his life. Who is responsible for that? Knowing our political and social environment, how do you expect ladies to step out and claim they were assaulted? Don’t make such high claims if you don’t know the fact. Don’t get fooled by the media and your so called “society”. Like you’re advising the author, you also do your homework first and then post something on social media.
@Pallavi people like you or the people in your comment are equally to blame!
Knowing our political and social environment whatever change has come has come from ladies who have stepped out and claimed they were assaulted without fear. if so many people are commenting and talking about these incidents, it means they will stand for victims. High Court, NHRC, NCW are helping people who want to come forward, if you still think you have a moral high ground by narrating incidents and doing nothing you are part of the problem not the solution.
So u are saying that people from UK Did not file the case they also don’t want to protect and get justice for their girls claps 👏👏 for you miss
Knowing about our political and social environment I want to tell you that lots of rape cases are reported in India
I agree that cars were smashed and burnt
If you are fearless enough to spread rumours on social media and defame a particular community I think you have some energy left to come forward and file the case
Apart from all this I want to tell you that crime was committed by criminals not by a community (if anything like this happened which I don’t believe)

What happened to these women is definitely horrendous and inhumane to say the least and something that should never go unpunished. But to add to your point, its not just the women… everyone in this country man or woman is treated like trash unless they have insane amount of money, political power or a mob behind them. The situation in this country is so volatile that anything could happen to anyone anytime…
Matter of great shame to us Indians to see women treated like this..
Reblogged this on Refuge – Penned, not Typed.
It would have been better if there was a better research before penning it down. There were Team visits from NCW to inspect regarding any such case. They reported in negative.

There was a hotline established for the same and there was one complainant too, who was recognized as a regular complainant due to her family matters. This was in all what happened in Murthal, you people have branded one community, country as the rapist and that too
on the basis of such cheap journalism.
Agreed that the rotting political scenario of the country dictates which issues to focus on and which ones to ignore, but this doesn’t imply that ALL is wrong with our country. I have seen incidents which show the human nature in its best possible form. Lets stay positive and join hands to change the dynamics of this Nation. Jai Hind.
Hey Anu– wake up! perhaps u shud see more TV– 2 diff TV {one was SAB if I remeber channels carried LIVE interviews with 3-4 different men who were also in cars at the time the women got raped. After the first time these were aired– one never heard of them! that is ur
wonderful govt for u .
Movies are the first culprit followed bh lackbif discipline at home. Rest all after that.fix the funda.
You know what…woman need to do something which will send shivers down thier backs…’bobbit’ them. I know it sounds an extreme reaction….but extreme steps need to be taken for extreme crimes which our protectors overlook. I would happily join a band of women who would take on this task!
The last Paragraph (before P.S) was wrong.. It was in Haryana where sex ratio is screwed 1000/770+ it does not apply to whole India which is so different in social thought and behavior for every 500 km radius..
Unless men start believing in the reality of “one is wife and all others are sisters” things will remain unchanged.
very eye opening piece and from this episode, though I am an optimist, I feel India still continue living in middle ages and it will never be civilized till it starts respecting it women and no politician is ready to take about making India civilized
There is no curse bigger than being a woman…be it India or Planet Earth…
Reblogged this on outcast1493.
Their fathers and uncles had committed similar crimes in1984 but they were pardoned for having taught a lesson to S
Sikhs so the beasts have repeated the act .Will they reach to gallows this time ? .
This is the dat and stylish stays of affairs in India, aversion people debate on stupidity and non existing issues but no action is taken on real concerns
Whom to blame the public the media or the ministers, do we forget what are our responsibility to be strong and speak up. No one can help us unless we help ourself. No one but the lady herself is to be blamed why fear honour is not something that gets tarnished because you were raped . something bad happened we just need to forgive ourself don’t be hard on yourself. Stand up and punish those wrong doers they deserve the punishment.
Each time a woman keeps quiet about such things the chances of the next one multiples. Its time we make sure that a physical assault does not leadto a mental one too.spread this till the culprits are punished
Reblogged this on Parwatisingari's Weblog and commented:
Reblogged this, it makes me angry, and I am guilty of this too, we want to keep up pretenses, why did the women keep quite? We are as much citizens and some woman is responsible for the birth and bringing up of the monsters who raped these women, Why don’t we a nation question, interrogate the elected member of our constitution for not delivering, why is that we do not have a janta ki adalat in our constitution asking the elected representiative why did he allow the wastage of our time and resources. He after all represents us at the parliament. The answer is we don’t want responsibility, we don’t know how to tackle it, we are happy in our apathy.
