As some of you may know, a foreign newspaper has published the name of the 23-year-old rape victim, apparently with the approval of her father. Section 228A of the Indian Penal Code, which prohibits publication of the name of a deceased rape victim without the permission of her next of kin, lays down a specific procedure by which this permission is to be accorded: it must be given in writing to a welfare organisation or institution recognised by the Central or State governments. To the best of my knowledge, this procedure, which was introduced into law as an added layer of protection for the victim and her family, has not yet been followed. We respect the father's wish to go public, if that is indeed what he wants, but unless he states the same in writing in the manner prescribed by statute, The Hindu will continue witholding the name of the victim.
Asaram Bapu reportedly said "the victim is as guilty as her rapists" and that she should have "begged" in front of the culprits.
"She should have called the culprits brothers and begged before them to stop. This could have saved her dignity and life. Can one hand clap? I don't think so," CNN-IBN quoted Asaram Bapu as saying in a Jaipur-datelined report.
"Had she recited the Saraswati mantra, she would not have boarded any bus after watching a movie with her boyfriend,"

I do not know which mantra he was referring to. But I guess Saraswati Mantra which is commonly known is this :Saraswati Vandana Mantra - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Check out last line translated in english : "O Mother Goddess, remove my mental inertia!"
So from this I think what he meant was it was her "Saari (Mansik) Jadtaa" (All (Mental) Inertia) that after watching a movie with her boyfriend, she boarded a bus.

I think what that fake god-man wanted to tell was, she should have said "Nahi..i..n. Bhagwaan ke liye mujhe chhod do, Bhaiya!!!", just like in old bollywood movies(sic!).
Females should be given right to terminate their attacker without any questions asked & should be made aware about their own self that only they are responsible for themselves, they own their own body no body has any right over them.. Its extreme but will affect
Cute. I propose that the govt. start a, "Aaurat Swayam Terminate Balaatkarri Yojana" (ASTABAL). All women shall be provided with subsidized weaponry including but not limited to AK47s, INSAS, Glocks, grenades, rpgs and what-have-yous. Heck, we won't even need a police force then. We can just have ASTABAL squads moving about running down and shooting rapists, would-be rapists, pseudo-rapists, quasi-rapists, imaginary rapists and ex-rapists. It'll be great fun, yea.
Everything these idiots touch turns to shit.
