Man set afire for stopping eve-teasing of widow Hindustan Times, 17 Jan 2007
Two women molested in Mumbai on New Year dayHindu, India - 2 Jan 2008
There are many more stories of the second kind. According to stats, there are 18 women being harrassed in India every hour, every day.
In Mumbai, the arrested new year's 'eve' molestors have now donned the guise of rescuers. Some of them indeed must have been warding off the evil ones. So the guilty will escape with the innocent. Lets see where it heads.
In Rajastan, in Goa, across the country, Indian women and foreign women continue to be molested and sometimes, raped with impunity.
That is a sad stament of affairs in India. The sexual hunger within a large majority of men is a matter of concern. And there is so much ado about sex education in school.
Yesterday, one Indian paid a price for his chivalry is trying to protect a widow's honour. He was burnt to death.
That is even more sadder.
But is is heartening to know that there are heroes still alive and kicking.
