We have to allow countries to get there own their own, and it seems as though recently, people are starting to speak out. You know me, and my views on everyone in society having a say, and being a voice, but the conditions that lead to men to commit crimes like this needs to be addressed, and the ancient caste system consigned to the history books.

The fact we put these people behind bars, doesn't separate us from India in my book. Humans are humans. If you are going to gang rape someone, and then further attack them, a 20 year prison sentence isn't going to dissuade them from doing it.

Well yes, change has to come from within and it seems for many it has and yet there are those who cling to the old ways...
Look at Britain 150ish years ago and the laissez-faire attitudes of the upper echelons of society, how caring were they of the slum dwellers who lived in squalor?
If India want an ordered society they HAVE to address societal issues that are hindering their progress.
Yes, there are always going to be those who have the urges to commit crimes against women, however if there are for these women laws and the support of law enforcement then it can only help to change perceptions of those who would commit these acts?
