When Will Indian Women Be Protected From Being Beaten To Death, Burned Alive, Electrocuted And Poisoned?
I saw this article today in the LA Times, “Wedded to greed in India”, that stated “Despite official efforts, grooms and in-laws still harass, torture and even kill brides over dowries. Rising affluence has only worsened the avarice. The practice of dowry in India goes back thousands of years. Its original intent, scholars say, was to protect women.”
The article includes statistics for the violence against women in India: “In 2005, the most recent year for which figures are available, a woman was killed over dowry every 77 minutes in India, according to the National Crime Records Bureau. The total of such homicides was 6,787, but experts suspect that the true figure is much higher, because many dowry killings are not reported. Even when they are, most of the killers go unpunished.”
Here’s the article:http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/…

i love the people who turn this issue into a “i hate feminists, you suck feminists” approach. we’re talking about HUMAN rights here since, yes, women are humans. we do have a right to try to help indian women. how are they any different than american women? some of you say, “leave the issue alone, it’s their culture.” i’m sorry, but since when is murdering innocent people an appropriate culture?by the way, i am not a christian and do not maintain that christianity will solve their problems. i would love to see these women rise up and defend themselves. something has to be done.
MafiaGirl, Good to see you here..
and to answer the question.. Western media finds the worst story that happened in some remote village of India and portray it like that country is third world and thats the only thing that happens in this country..
And people like you who ask question listen to that media and stay ignorant.. Sorry I have to be bluntly honest
To give you and example.. media in other countries portray that all girls in west get pregnant at 15, and families are broken.. Do you think this is true ? Well not.. a few times but not like 90% .. So stop reading these news papers and posting ignorant questions..
It may unfortunately continue until Indian women have the right to keep and bear arms. Or until some of these women have the courage to burn the women beating cowards in their beds. Women are beautiful and fascinating, to be respected and treated with dignity.
I am Indian and there is nothing like that happening in India. There are few percentages of people but over all women in India rock babe… we do better than you for sure and we have values and ethics more than anyone in the USA!!! LOL
Rudey, your rant about preservation of culture and religion and butting out of other people’s cultures is sadly misplaced. There is no country in the world where the women feel it is ok to burn, tortue and harass them for dowry. Thinking that they the women love these non-civil, animal-like treatments because it is a century old tradition or because it is tied to their religion shows a lack of sensitivity towards humans
One of my groups in medical sociology has that issue for their group project! This is a horrible practice condoned by stupid people.
Rudey you equate drinking beer with murder? Tell me what part of your religion or culture allows this?
We do have a right to support human rights.
The only way drinking too much beers hurts anyone but the drinker is if they drink and drive and we are doing something about that!
Edit:
Troll shark you are cute smart a**! And sometimes you really hit the mark!
Is this a betting pool?
Put me down for $50 – I say 2053.
When there country has lots of oil that King Bush wants .Then the U. S. might step in and invade there country too.
Yeah protect women. Well of course they still have the caste system- they will be backward as long as they keep these things. India is a third world country.
It amazes me how all these anti-feminists on this forum just want to blow it of as unimportant when atrocities happen to women, but boy here em scream when a little injustice happens to them.
Never as long as the present religions rule. Until Christianity becomes the religion there will always be suffering in injustices for women there.
It’s not your business! You Americans always want to meddle in other countries social affairs. No one outside USA can come and tell US to stop drinking beer, smoking, what to eat, how to where your clothes ( especially school uniforms), how to select your polical leaders, etc. You White people always want to be HEROS for saving other PEOPLES. You don’t bother to truly consider OTHER PEOPLES customs and traditions inputs. It’s always has to be your way or no way. Look at the Crusades. Who told those damn people that other PEOPLES around the world wanted to give up there religion for White peoples beliefs. Hence, Latin America, US Native Americans, indians of the West Indies, the Polynesians, Hawaiians, etc. It just goes on and on. What’s worst is that if the inhabitants did not want to believe in this new religion (Christianity), then they were force to or killed. Unbelievable!
Let those Indian women figure their own stuff out. Let their local sufferage leaders do their thing. They don’t need the US. Where were they when America was and is going through its struggles?
Viva 3rd world countries leaders!
You are criticizing another culture. This is intolerant, and violates the multicultural code of conduct.
Tell me what you're thinking...
