In India Men Shave the Heads of These Women for Resisting Rape

Two people have been arrested in India's Bihar state after a group of men shaved the heads of two women as "punishment" for resisting rape.

                 

 Until India Resolves the problem of women and gays being attack, on women because they wont let men rape them and for gays because they wont let others attack them so they look for changes in the law to protect them.Until India resolves this problem India should not see itself as a nation of the 21 century. They are still behaving like people did 100 years ago.

India has billion dollars to spend on Nucear subs, the latest in technology, nice and shiny to spend thier lives underwater but they can't take care of rapes on the streets. Just like their first nuclear submarine was almost sunk by a crew member leaving a hatch open, their answer was to replace that sub with two more of the same. What is my point? 

You need to have priorities.  If your priorities are not to have law and order in the streets and to have the laws that protect all citizens nothing else will work out right. They need to clear those books of laws from past centuries and come up to todays enlighted nations and understand what otheer people know about gays, women and even cows. If we could be critical because we are ciizens of the same world, let me ad some of that defense money should go to hire and train professional police forces.

Two people have been arrested in India's Bihar state after a group of men shaved the heads of two women as "punishment" for resisting rape.

The group, which included a local official, ambushed the mother and daughter in their home with the intent of raping them, police said.

When the women resisted, they assaulted them, shaved their heads and paraded them through the village.

Police say they are searching for five others involved in the incident.

"We were beaten with sticks very badly. I have injuries all over my body and my daughter also has some injuries," the mother told the ANI news agency.

The women also said that their heads were shaved in front of the entire village.

The attempted rape is a sexual crime, but the subsequent assault, tonsuring the women's heads and parading them through the village is an assertion of male power in a community, deeply entrenched in patriarchy.

What is most worrisome is that the assaulting mob was led by a government official - an elected representative whose job is to look after the welfare of his people, not attack them. 

The audacity of the crime shows how in parts of India there's no fear of law.

To begin with, poor marginalised groups find it hard to even convince the police to lodge complaints. Then their cases are shoddily investigated and an overburdened slow-paced judicial system mean the powerful often get away with blue murder.

Public anger and outrage, that occurs every time a crime of this nature occurs, is short lived.

What is needed is much more consistent action from the authorities, bringing swift justice to the victims of such crimes and restoring the rule of law in remote rural areas of the country. 

"Some men entered the victims' home and tried to molest the daughter," a police officer told local media, adding that her mother helped her fight off the men.

The state's women commission has also condemned the incident, saying that "further action" will be taken.

This is not the first time such an incident has occurred in the state.

In April, a teenage girl was attacked with acid for resisting an attempted gang rape.

And a few months back, a woman in Bihar was assaulted, stripped and paraded naked through the village market.

Public outrage over sexual violence in India rose dramatically after the 2012 gang rape and murder of a student on a Delhi bus.

The issue became a political flashpoint again in 2018, after a string of high-profile attacks against children.

However incidents of rape and violence against women continue to be reported from across the country.
