Heinous crimes against women in India

Women are not sex objects. They are human beings like you and me. What is wrong with our men today? Why do some of them commit heinous crimes like rape and murder? Are they not born of women? Do they live an uncivilized life? What do we do to stop such horrible crimes taking place day after day?

Going by the statistics today, I think that majority of our Indian men would fall into this category. Is it not a shame for a land that is called ‘spiritual’? How many of our Indian men can truly say that they look at a woman as persons and not as sexual objects? How many of our men would raise their voice when they witness an abuse of a girl in homes, in trains, in buses, in workplaces and in public spaces?
