With due respect to all religion,
I believe sir, if you go to the roots of it, all religions teach you same things -
Respect All,
Love All (by that I mean the motherly, fatherly love and not the meaning potrayed these days)
Respect everyone's dignity and privacy...
No religion teaches what most of people are practicing. So irrespective of who you follow, follow a religious path is all that i can say coz it is one thing that can keep us grounded to virtues.
I agree to you. "To err is Human" But raping someone, forcing yourself on someone is not a mistake, its a crime. And it is not necessary everyone commit mistake and learn. One can learn from other's mistake. Who learns? have we been taught to learn from others?
My parents always tell me - Every single being teaches us something. Some people teach us how should we behave, Some others teach us how we should not. It is upto us who to follow and who to not.
Parents, religion, prophets, teachers can all be guiding people... Ultimate decision taker is "WE" rather "ME" a person in that situation.
"How many are trying to stop such brutal recurring incidents."
Reminds me of 2 Christian boys who were going with 1 girl who was being teased with some road side romeo... Till a point they beared but when it started getting too much, these guys replied back. The 2 guys, to save this girl, lost their lives, people stood their seeing tamasha.... they didn't help this girl reach safely, but when these 2 guys tried to help her out and faced problem, not even did they dare to call up police who can handle....
When we pledge we say every Indian is our brother & sister, I believe those would have been live statues even if the girl would have been their own sister/daughter and those guys their own brother/son....
Nothing against Islamism... But the way you are potraying your point it seems non of Islam males commit what is mentioned. The most irritating bunch in my office who would scan you worst than an x-ray machine are practising Islam - they'd go for namaz, they'd strictly follow religion.... But they don't respect females...
Sad part is We can't follow religion blindly... We need to understand what it means.
Just as Islam asks a female to be in Burkha or Pardah... You believe that wearing Burkha makes a female safe? Sorry to state, I wish if you could have been a female you might have understood that its not females but the nazar (the way some one sees) that should have pardah... Why is a woman allowed to be without burkha in front of her father & brother? Coz they wont have a bad nazar....
I would not comment. As i said before, no religion is harning any one. No God would harm any one... Only individuals harm. And who ever harms, we should see them as an individual not as a practicer or promoter of XYZ religion. Irrespective of the religion followed or the position held, a crime is a crime is a crime. There can't be discount.
Again for your question sir, I asked who is at fault when a very conservative lady, who is fully covered is raped?
By saying so you put up the whole fault on females. I don't say females can wear what they want to... I had confessed that many females are over-revealing... and then it would be their fault... But how about these overly conservative females....
I dont understand if you have got the right grip of word democratic
Sir, if it won't be democratic, females would still be supressed. We have had always been a patriarchal country. You, me, and all know what had females beared. Even after living in a democratic country, it is existing which is a shame. That don't mean you stop progressing.
Progress is what we move towards, side effects ought to be handled. We can't sit and say oh it failed... Sorry but that was really not a healthy thing to do (my personal view and belief)
Females have started living an independent life which is beyond their limits or boundaries....
Which century you live sir? We need independence because of foll reasons:
1. If father dies, males would want to eat us up like we are flesh and they are hungry wolves.
2. If a lady marries, and is abandoned, she has no scope. All wolves still are their...
3. What would a lady do who becomes widow with a small child to support.
4. A lady has a self dignity. Today I want to stand on my feet and make my dad proud. I am glad he has always supported me. He never stopped me, he instead taught me to fight back and be strong enough to protect myself....
And as you stated above, I never said stop teaching girls, what you're teching... But I just said also teach guys to behave themselves...
[If you are offended by that, sorry but I can't help. That is the fact.]
============================
General msg:
Males should put their ego aside and should know where their fault is. Blaming it conviniently in females is not going to help you grow....

@ Ganesh:
Yes, putting my points strongly coz if we look at it this happens:
When a girl is raped and she files a case, questions are asked to this poor girl victim than the doer.
Why were you there? (Was that a no-female zone?)
What were you doing there at that hour (Nonsensical Qn coz she might be returning home or might have gone down to take a medicine she needs urgently... No females is stupid enough to risk her own dignity and move)
How can he rape you? (I don't know)
You might have given him all wrong indications? (What? what wrong indications? Did the girl asked you to jump on her?)
Why don't you put such questions to the doer and embarass him than adding pains to her?
Not just these they'd add vulgar questions and she would prefer dying than facing all this drama....
