Narendra Modi’s “Best Teacher Award” to Patan’s Rapist Professor

Rape of a Dalit girl student by six teachers is a sign of ongoing sexual perversion and duplicity of Hindu morality. India’s puritan Hindu nationalists are very much proud of Gujarat, India’s fastest growing Hindu state. From the latest rape reports coming out of the Patan Teacher’s Training College campus of northern Gujarat, it appears that the rapists used to choose girls from poor background and lower castes to prey upon. In the present lot of 98 girls, at least 15 were being exploited sexually while the rest were all subjected to harassment by these men. They used to make lewd remarks even in the classrooms. For the past 10 years, no woman has been posted in this college as a staff which lead to orgy sessions of these sex addicts.

The victim has named Manish Parmar, Suresh Patel, Ashwin Parmar, Kiran Patel, Atul Patel and Nahendra Patel as perpetrators of the crime.

One of the rapist, Dr. Atul Patel has been awarded best teacher award by the state government which is ruled by Hindu zealot, Narendra Modi. The rapist teacher, Patel is said to be quite close to Revenue Minister Anandiben Patel who is former Education Minister and represents Patan in the State Assembly. The incident shocked the family of Patel so much that his wife and mother tried to commit suicide.

IANS, January 21, 2008,

Jaipur: In the second such incident in Hindu right wing ruled state of Rajasthan,  in less than a month, a Swiss tourist was allegedly raped in the holy town of Pushkar by the owner of a hotel.

Eight fold increase in rape behaviour of Indians, quarter of victims were minors

6 Jan 2008,TNN

NEW DELHI: There has been a phenomenal eight-fold increase in the number of rapes committed in India since 1971, the year from which data for rape cases has been collected by the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB).

This stands in marked contrast to other serious and violent crimes like murder, robbery, dacoity, kidnapping and rioting. Overall, violent crimes under the Indian Penal Code (IPC) have actually declined.

According to the latest report by NCRB, between 1971 and 2006 murder incidents just about doubled, kidnapping and abduction cases went up by 149%, while cases of dacoity and rioting declined. In general, violent crimes showed a decline of 16% during the period. In this context, the 678% increase in rape cases stands out as a shocker.

While data on other crimes is available from 1953, statistics on the number of rape cases is available only since 1971.

The NCRB report does not provide any explanation as to why data for rape cases has not been collated prior to 1971 although legal provisions are contained in the same statute, the IPC, as other crimes.

The NCRB data also clearly points to the profile of the average rapist – over 75% were known to the victims. In fact, nearly 10% were relatives. Another disturbing aspect was that about a quarter of the rape victims were minors.

Females’ Screaming Make Males to Ejaculate During Sex

December 19, 2007

Scientists have shed new light on monkeys’ sexual behaviour, by finding that female monkeys may shout during sex to help their male partners climax.

A new study by scientists at the German Primate Center in Gottingen discovered that male Barbary macaques (Macaca sylvanus) almost never ejaculated without these screams.

Female monkeys regularly give out loud, characteristic yells during or after sex. However, the exact purpose behind this behaviour has remained heavily debated.

Thus, to find an answer, the German scientists thoroughly studied Barbary macaques for two years in a nature reserve in Gibraltar.

They found that females shouted during 86 percent of all sexual encounters, reports LiveScience.

When females shouted, males ejaculated 59 percent of the time, they discovered. However, when females did not yell, males ejaculated less than 2 percent of the time.

To determine whether yelling was caused by how vigorous the sex was, the scientists counted the number of pelvic thrusts males gave and timed when they happened.

They found that when shouting occurred, thrusting increased, suggesting that hollering led to more vigorous sex.

Lead researcher Dana Pfefferle, a behavioural scientist and primatologist at the German Primate Center, said that counting monkey pelvic thrusts is ‘quite weird, but it’s science.’

Male and female Barbary macaques are promiscuous, and often have sex with many partners, meaning that sperm levels can get quite drained. The females yell when they are most fertile, so that males can make the most use of their sperm.

The victim’s mother said she lost her husband when she was two months pregnant with her third daughter. Her eight-year-old daughter was in the care of employers. Her 10-year-old son had gone missing for the past several months.

India : A rape in every 28 Minutes

CHANDREYEE CHATTERJEE, The Telegraph , Tuesday, November 28, 2006

Calcutta, Nov. 27: Incidents of violence against women are on the rise in India, with one act of sexual harassment being reported every 12 minutes, one rape every 28 minutes and one dowry death every 67 minutes. And these are just the tip of the iceberg, as most cases go unreported.

“In a situation such as this, we feel it’s time to actively involve men in the struggle to stop violence against women,” said Anuradha Kapoor, director, Swayam, a non-profit women’s organisation committed to ending violence against women and children.

Swayam is organising a campaign in Calcutta to stop violence against women, in association with DRIK India, an alternative media organisation, and International Association of Women in Radio and Television (IAWRT), an international forum for personal contact and professional development among women broadcasters.

The campaign is part of an international initiative originating from the first Women’s Global Leadership Institute, sponsored by the Centre for Women’s Global Leadership in 1991. It kicked off on November 25 with a mass awareness programme, including an exhibition of posters and performances by the theatre and music groups of Swayam.

The campaign ends on December 10, marking International Human Rights Day. “This period has a special significance. It coincides with the International Day against Violence against Women, World AIDS Day and World Disability Day,” said Kapoor.

Swayam’s campaign will feature workshops by artists and rights activists, photography exhibitions, panel discussions and film shows.

Filmmaker Goutam Ghosh, actor Rahul Bose and others will speak on issues like violence against women and the need to involve men in the attempt to eradicate the menace.
