Re: [IAC#RG] Sex on wheels

Dear All,

It was obvious the government wanted the girl out of the way before she died.

The family had the right to cremate her as and where they chose. That right seems to have been violated.

Note that the Broadcast Editors Association refrained from telecasting the return and cremation. They must have been under enormous govt pressure.  At the same time it was a private time for the family (police and VIPs notwithstanding) and perhaps it was all to the good that they were not further violated by intrusive cameras.

Lastly the rape law provided for concealment of the victim's name to protect her and her family. But at this point, now that this girl is gone, I feel that instead of various names she should be remembered for who she was. Her kin, neighbourhood and village already know her identity and what happened to her, as various newspaper reports testify.  Let her live on as Jyoti, a living flame of resistance to violence against India's women,

Dear Sucheta,

These are both valuable actions. But I am keen that someone take up the insurance issue. Too many innocents are being taken for a ride by being sold market linked policies -- e.g. our unlettered driver, and the neighbourhood tailor's son who had just got his first job (and lost it soon because of the eco downturn). These people have only heard of LIC and think it is a method of safe, longterm savings but get sold policies by private agencies and then find their hard earned savings dwindling when the market falls.  We need research and reporting and activism on such issues. With your background of economic journalism you are best suited for such pioneering activism,

Best wishes,

Yes. some city specific action on the ground by forming follow up groups alone will help carry things forward. 

At Moneylife Foundation www.mlfoundation.in we are trying to create groups for 

1. Support group for Railway passengers issues. A true braveheart called Samir Zaveri who works tireless for railway victims and improvement of services needs a expanded support group. What is unique about Samir is that he lost both is legs in a railway accident the age of 16 and has made its mission to try and save every single life he can -- not just from railway accidents, but even more from the callous cruelty of corrupt railway offiicals who rob people. He unearthed a fake bailbond scam and fake jail being run by railway police. For his trouble, he had a false murder charge slapped against him. Fortunately he has go off it. 
     At a meeting recently it was decided that those who want to help would meet on the first saturday of every month between 3 pm and 5 pm  at the address below. We welcome people to join this group. 

2. A second support group we have started is to help people being missold insurance policies by banks and agents. That is a long agenda. 

We need to expand this into concrete action through follow up initiatives. 

Those with any other thoughts and ideas for taking things beyond e-mail based interaction my please contact me after checking out our work on the net !

It seems that the culprits were regularly
Indulging in these type of crimes
They were not novice
whereas Police must have found out
the names of other victims as well
and their silence on the subject is
Not warranted please come out
so that further crimes may be curbed

So far law is concerned it is already
existing what lacks is proper Investigation,Prosecution and strict Adjudication
