1: Even capital punishment seems to be a poor
deterrent... I would rather say that partial
decapitation and the subsequent shame for the
perpetrator should be the option... plus
ensure that the person is treated like a
black sheep forcing them to take their own
life... I know I might sound too crude... but
the fact is there is a dire need for drastic
measures...

2: I am normally not in favour of the death
penalty, but for rapists and child molesters,
there sould be no other punishment. When an
animal goes mad, it is generally put to
sleep...no different treatment should be
awarded these psychos. Additionally, why
should tax payers bear the financial burden
of these unwanted elements of our society.

3: This is really shocking n very shamefull too.
I feel that this is just the half truth as
more than 50% of cases go unreported because
of soo many reasons. So one can imagine the
original figure....This problem can only be
stopped by making the harder n stricter rules
and punishments......I think the culprits
should be punished in front of public with
harsh punishments....Being a girl i also
face so many problems everyday.....Just two
days ago, i was waiting for an auto in front
of my office, a guy coming from the opposite
direction spitted the pan he was chewing on
me deliberately and sped away on his bike. I
was just shocked n didnt know how to react n
wat to do at that time......That was just
disgusting......Is this the way the new
generation is respecting its women.....So, i
feel our judicial system should be more
stricter and should come out with more
stronger n harsher rules....

5: I think we all know about the external
terrorism that is causing shock to the Indian
community in India and the world. But
atleast, there are some steps being taken to
tackle it and eradicate it. What about this
internal terrorism that is happening on a
daily basis? We don't need commandos or NSG
to tackle them, just a honest government and
judicial system that can punish the
wrong-doers strictly to the extent of life
imprisonment.

6: These are just the cases that are reported. I
am sure many cases go unreported. We should
raise our girls to be stronger and teach them
self defense (karate etc). Also the rapist
should be given harsh punishments - others
will learn from this as an example

8: it's really a shame to India. In spite of
having rich tradition of respect towards
women why do we behave like an animal?
