The huge population gives huge tax to the economy.... and that is how the politicians get to steal billions out of the country and we get to develop missiles and nuclear reactor...

so dont blame the population...

the problem is with the law and order.

Mumbai is still safe for women and will always be..

One such incident would not tarnish its image..

Bravo to the courageous PHOTOJOURNALIST GIRL.

Hope the culprits get the maximum punishment...

StaceyR, You need some rest...

same question to you..what are you doing in qatar

You still have not answered my question. Why are you here? Forget those people who are 'happy' in India...You do not actually qualified to represent the people who lives and work in India... You are among those many many indians who left their country to live and work in a wealthier country. So, why did you left?

I'm not going to pretend or be in denial so I'll answer your question:

My useless ex husband wanted spousal support. So I ran away to Qatar. I'm hoping the money they gave me here will allow me to hire the best lawyer not only to counter attack but to make sure he end up in jail.

I am waiting for the day we hear news such as 'these many number of rapists hanged per day in India' and I swear that is the day we will kick the a33 of those pseudo westerner human right activist.

Another sympathiser of India...wow... looks like a cupboard full of sympathisers who keep dropping every now and then and give incomprehensive solutions. Still India for sure is lucky to have so many well wishers across the globe.

This one however, just made me rofl..."Those Indians who migrated away from India stands a better chance getting enough opportunity to improve their life in general"...I would suggest that in addition to spending time in national area try to meet Indians who have had equivalent or better lifestyles even before moving out.

IMHO, it is not laws , politics ,population or economics that are the reason.

It is simply men and women.

Men need to be taught to respect women as equal. And women need to be taught that they ARE equal.

Both need to exercise respect and responsibility.

There will still be some rape, as there are men who are mentally ill and rape. But I think the rate will go down drastically.

Peoples in India are also enjoying their lives ....

Since you find good Indian population here, you are on the impression that India does have enough opportunity. You are wrong....I wanted to correct you on this point.

By the way, Ask yourself the same question. Why you are here....

twisting no... i'm offering solutions.

ur twisting the topic or you do not actually know what ur trying to talk about

gj10110 - Really? Why are you in Qatar? You should stay in India and be very very happy working in there.

So tell me about Romania then?

StaceyR, Who said peoples working in India are not enjoying their lives. There are enough opportunities...

And your findings on abortion rules is totally non-sense.

At Boxbe: Speaking about politics..

If Ceausescu had allowed abortion in the first place, Romania wouldn't have to be so over-populated they had to impose strict & oppressive regime to control his people. His people will not revolt against him and he would have died of natural cause.

Maybe that's what India needs... Revolt against the government.

I'm talking about India itself - there is just simply too many people in India for your government to keep in control.

Those Indians who migrated away from India stands a better chance getting enough opportunity to improve their life in general. Those big countries need people. India does not.

Actually those crimes conducted by the peoples who are from other countries, not from the locals who staying there, yes Luxembourg is a small country almost a province of Belgium, BTW you are secured there, no need to worry, few thugs are there in some small towns only!

it has got nothing to do with population but with politics

Look at Luxembourg.. Highest per capita in the world. Low Population. Well controlled country. Have you checked their crime rate?

US of A couldnt control Snowden, Manning...the educated and well to do people...could they?

Same goes for the economy of the big names. Arent those economies, reeling under recession, looking up to India and China (on the strenght of their population) to come to their rescue. There was one country (forgetting the name) where the women went to pick clothes at discount or free if they come in just inner wear. Guess they couldnt be fed by their govt even if the population is nothing compared to India. You must have also watched photos of people in Europe in some country fighting for a loaf of bread. Again the population much less than India. What is the point in them having less population?

What what good did it do to your country economic-ly?

What's the point of breaking world records if your local farmers can't even feed their own family? Fact is, you can't control your own people.

Population is India's biggest advantage...

The money in Cricket...

Worlds biggest Movie Industry...

Worlds 2nd biggest workforce...

Worlds biggest market...

Is all because of its population...

Inspite of all this India still Export agriculture to the rest of the world...

even in a war with China the only comforting factor is man to man we are equal in number... although China is 3 times bigger...

those points is like a dream only

but point 5...behead in public is the best solution

hang ok...but again do u think the rapes will stop...in my opinion..they should behead them

Over population... that's the problem.

1. Educate women on the importance of family planning.

2. Encourage medical abortion.

3. Make martial art/self-defense as part of mandatory training for all school girls.

4. Bollywood is whack! Produce more movies of super-heroines. If women continues to be portrayed as damsel in distress - men will always see them as weaklings.

5. Public execution for convicted rapists might scares the rest of the others.

hang the rapist that is the only solution to stop the rapes

Baburao good question...

Better governance will definitely make a difference...

Today trying going to the Police Station with even any minor complaint... without the help of any social worker or local bigwig ... they will make you wait outside for hours together...

Can a poor person fight a case in Supereme court of India? He will not even be able to afford their fees...

So is the present Justice available to all Rich & Poor equally? No.

The police try their best not to register a complaint just to save their time. They will keep sending you to different jurisdiction... telling the scene of crime falls in xyz jurisdiction etc.

dawood, thackerey...many more

The photojournalist suffered grievous internal injuries.

"Bombay used to be the safest city... it is now becoming very scary, very bad," said Waheeda, 77.

"I think policing needs to be increased and they also need to be taught proper values and duties. Sometimes they are not fulfilling their duties," added the 77-year-old.

"I cannot believe that. Men are men. People are people. Outsiders, insiders do not make a difference. People are losing senses and their values. They are going crazy and mad," Waheeda said.

A 22-year-old photojournalist working for an English magazine was raped allegedly by five men in Mumbai's Shakti Mills compound. She was accompanied by a male colleague, who was brutally thrashed by the assailants.

Stating that "people are losing their values", legendary actress Waheeda Rehman suggested that the policemen be taught proper values to properly deal with rising incidents of crime against women.

She also slammed the theory that the influx of people of other states into Maharashtra is linked to the rise of such incidents.

The Police are there to take bribe not to Police... because they paid X amount he has to make it good, recover the amount, buy some property, have some money in the bank... where will it all come from? Dawood Ibrahim is a good example of son of Police who became a don. There are many more examples...

So unless the whole system is cleaned nothing will come out of it....

Cleaning will start with the broom in 97 days...

then some oppostion party must have paid the goondas to do this crime just to fall out the current government..AH AH another politics

LAND OF CORRUPTED POLITICIANS

will the rapes stop after we remove the politicians

In Mumbai women travel by public transport even around 11-12pm...

BOXBE16DOBARA I am of the view the Government cannot do anything... they will have meetings, enquirys and reports on the incident... thats it...

The Politicians paid x amount to reach where he reached so he has to make money in whatever way and ignore all governance... and the betterment of the country...

All the perks of the Politicians have to be removed...

The thing about rape stats is that the reality is usually WORSE than what the stats say, especially in countries where the woman can be blamed for the rape (which in all honesty is everywhere to varying degrees).

Not just Mumbai...INDIA is unsafe

instead of talking in every minute how many happens...the government should talk abour how to avoid such things and find a solution..Make the law tougher for such crimes

thelo u mean we shld outnumber them ?

I don't think you know Mumbai too well if you say it was on the outskirts. Mahalaxmi is centrally located and is very much in the heart of Mumbai.

Rape in the DRC is used as a means of inflicting terror and control.

yes, India is not as bad as portrayed.

Mumbai is unsafe mostly because of the POLICE

Once I got into a huge scrap with 5 of them... 1AM

You go out after Midnight to 3AM you will be accosted by a COP looking for either easy money, alcohol or sex...

BTW It's horrifying states for sure, we can't blame those men since the rules n regulations r still lose enough to escape from the crime, every time we use to argue an issue similar to this,what i meant to say a Law should prevent the number of crimes,we use to blame this middle eastern countries for their laws, but the crime percentage lowest places stands from this middle east nations.

The people have begun to voice their anger and slowly things will change for the better.

lol Rizwan

sillyduck, doesnt your country have all tat too ?

So India has it own peculiar problems? I thought India was Utopia. The way most indians behave is appalling , one would think that they are the best and that they are all saints. Thanks for the news, there is abject poverty, terrorism, theft, corruption, illiteracy, disease, rape and what have you.

hmmm hmmm hmmm hmmm hmmm

GS that is the most idiotic thing I have ever heard. Go back to your cave, now.

Mumbai is still safer place. this was in the outskirts.. but India has become little unsafe for women. Rules should be made very strong to curb it...

You mean India Rape Capital of the World??

Let people marry when they mature not the Govt fixing age for marriage at 21 for males. Useless world full of foolish people. What will the youngster do, just rape if license not obtained until 21 years.

Mumbai was always considered as a safe place for women..even at 10 PM women walk freely in the street....its such a shame this happened.

Its true...Rape cases are increasing everyday...but most of the statistics are not 100% correct.
