Rape City
It is with a heavy heart I start this post. I read the online version of the Times of India everyday. And every day there is one bit of news which makes me sick invariably. Rapes. Yes, you heard me right - every day. Without fail. And they don't spare kids or aged women. How many of us know that our capital city has recorded a 33.5% of the country's urban child rapes? And that is just the official number! Read the TOI report here.
What is happening to our cultural values? What is the future of the girl-child? I was contemplating on these questions when I saw this article where the author says that crime can be cut down by increasing the birth rate of girls! Do you agree?
