G G Murkute  |  Argues in support of  "Not Enough"  |  2 years ago
It is true that the law in respect of child girls victim is no tough as required in the changing todays era. but also the court pronounces his judgment after the trial. It doesn't mean that i am of the view that the punishment given to the...

Mehtab, elaborate proper reasons before you thumb down anybody's comment, especially when you are studying law.
Kavitha Shankar  |  Argues in support of  "Not Enough"  |  2 years ago
That man should be given more punishment. Merely 6 months is not enough for him. He'll come out and keep on continuing his nuisance. By seeing this kind of small punishments, other anti social people will also get courage to openly do crime. So,...

Politics played a good part in ensuring justice is delayed and denied
Ziaul Haque Ansari  |  Supported idea  "Legal Procedures"  |  2 years ago
The delay in justice is undoubtedly because of the Legal Procedure. Isupport the idea but would like to slightly differ from the view of Mr.Kashif and Mr.Sanjay. The procedure establishd by law is not a vague procedure for just only harrasing the...

We all know as to what happened to Ruchika's case and as to how powerful Rathore could get promotions despite the pendency of serious allegations against him. It took almost 19 years to see the initial judgment and we can simply expect as to the time it will take if Rathore prefers an appeal and probably knowing that, he could have laughed at the media on the judgment pronouncement day. We all know that it is a systematic collapse and all the important constitutional organs like the executive, legislature and judiciary failed shamefully. There could be many culprits in the episode and media has played a tremendous role in highlighting the issue and in the course of fight for justice. I am n...

Dr Ali Ahmad  |  Argues in support of  "Yes"  |  2 years ago
Thanks for the referral Mr. Sachin I think this is indeed a land mark hearing. Yes the case took almost 20 years to come to justice, but the important thing is that it did. The media has a big hand in bringing the culprit to justice not only in...
Sheetal Bhandari  |  Argues in support of  "No"  |  2 years ago

Spoken like a true chauvinist. !! So now women must dress to please men, and if we dont you will rape us! When judiciary intervenes by passing guidelines/laws to prevent sexual harassment at workplace, you feel threatened by it. If only more women...
Makrand Bhave  |  Added idea  "US & EU ... Dominate"  |  2 years ago
India is still safe I would say. US nd EU take the cake in sexual harrassment. Thats solely because the dressing sense in these countries is independent of the male emotion. Iys very female oriented. The number of these kind of cases in India are...

I found this while I was checking a friends blog and accidently bumped in to this..   Molestation is an ugly word. But still everyone needs to know what it is. Touching and exploiting someone sexually is molestation. A child should always be explained what is the difference between good and bad touch. Along with this if a child complains about a bad touch it should be taken seriously and a steps should be taken against this. Today I am saying this because I was a victim. A victim of child abuse, a victim of adolescent molestation and it continues. But I can proudly say that I had all the strength to fight this as an adolescent.  When I was a child I went to see a doctor , a skin specialist for something which had happened on my face. I realised that the behaviour of the doctor was weird and I was at first scared. Then I told my parents and they made me feel it was ok and they just did not complain about this anywhere. The only solution they came to was : not to take me to that...

If we analyse the nature of students' demand, what they want as customers are: Expert Teaching Quality Learning Resources Well-structured Courses Either Marketable Skills or a Strong Brand or even both Flexibility Fair Assessment The concept that that all learning can be made fun and easy is flawed. Although it should be interesting, the task is to teach skills. It is difficult to get away with poor quality teaching any longer. However, in the area of assessment, there is insufficient objectivity and discipline at present. There is a strong case that all assessment should be anonymous and conducted at arm’s length. WINNERS AND LOSERS There are however a number of areas of new demand which fundamentally represent good news for those in the education sector who can ride the wave in a clever way: the knowledge worker; business advice; the law; health; "edutainment"; financial planning. Not everyone can win. Among the winners   in these changing conditions are likely to be: those who...

Security experts have discovered the biggest series of cyber attacks to date, involving the infiltration of the networks of 72 organizations including the United Nations, governments and companies around the world. The long list of victims in the five-year campaign include the governments of the United States, Taiwan, India, South Korea, Vietnam and Canada; the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN); the International Olympic Committee (IOC); the World Anti-Doping Agency; and an array of companies, from defense contractors to high-tech enterprises. "What is happening to all this data ... is still largely an open question. However, if even a fraction of it is used to build better competing products or beat a competitor at a key negotiation (due to having stolen the other team's playbook), the loss represents a massive economic threat." Jim Lewis, a cyber expert with the Center for Strategic and International Studies, was briefed on the discovery by McAfee. He said it was...
