FEEDBACK FROM: THE TIMES OF INDIA
FROM: Janta (Sweden):
This is an utter disgrace - that a young girl who went through such a terrible ordeal and humiliation is now being shunned by her own society - her school, her fellow students and neighbours. They should all hold their heads in shame and pray that they should never fall victim to such a crime themselves. At a time when people around her should act with the utmost sensitivity and compassion, they instead act like a pack of a dogs. What is Indian society coming to ? What has happened to the values that I was once led to believe characterised the Indian psyche. In our haste to become a 'big-player' on the global scene, in our rush to become modern and embrace all that the technological world has to offer and launch ballistic missiles and make plans to go into space, it seems that we left something behind. Somewhere along this road to modernity we lost something from our hearts and minds and we would need to go back to find this. All of us, we need to take a good hard look at our selves from time to time and do a reality-check. Our humanity is defined by how we treat others around us, not how we interact with machines. We could be naked apes playing around in the jungle, but if we treated members of our society with all fairness and showed compassion and empathy to our fellows, then I would consider even that to be a civilised society.

Its a very unfortunate situation. Ashamed that it happened in my home country. Ashamed that it happened with a girl living among Sikhs. Lets see how many Sikhs come forward to help her. Lets see what the Akal Takht does. Lets see what the politicians do to help her. I feel ashamed, shattered, restless and helpless. Shall do my best to let organisations know abt her. Someone please come forward and help her.
