The public is outraged and frustrated regarding the gang rape incident involving a law college student, expressing deep concerns about women's safety and the inefficacy of the justice system. Many comments criticize the ruling TMC party and the overall political climate in West Bengal, calling for justice for the victim, tougher laws, and significant reforms to ensure safety and accountability for perpetrators. There's a pervasive sentiment of shame and despair towards both societal attitudes and the response of the legal system.

Could ikt be the police were involved? Didn't want the DNA sampled?

Fuck Kolkata. I was there mid last year and have never experienced such a shit hole in my life. The rest of India that I saw was mild compared to that place. There are rickshaws pulled by old skinny men, which actually starts to make sense when it rains and the streets flood. Nobody wants to walk in literal floating shit. There are dead animals all over the streets in some areas too. It's also expensive, by Indian standards, for some of the worst accommodation ever. Don't be fooled by the nice marble lined entrances. Would not recommend.

Can someone explain why the police hijacked the body? Why were they wanting to cremate the body a day early? I read the article and it wasn't clear.

India is rape hysteria central, and westerners eat it up.

I remember when I used to be against the death penalty. Those were the days.

Every time a rape happens in India, Internet is filled with westerners condemning India and Indians defending it by saying west have more rapes per capita.. Nobody really gives a damn about the crime or the victims. Instead of arguing where more rapes happen we should either pay homage to victims or discuss how this could be stopped... I am from India and I doesn't give a rat's ass about what the image of India is in the eyes of foreigner I care more about how to fix this problems. Rape can not be eradicated.. This is the hard truth, most people doesn't realize this but rape is strong part of crimes in society. Most politicians here tell us after an incident that how they would eradicate it but they can't because it can't be done, rape actually is as deep-rooted in men as robbery/murder. Now if some politician go up and say I would eradicate all robbery and murder in India he would be laughed at and sent to a mental asylum but if that same politician talks about they'll eradicate corruption/rape they are applauded. That being said, we really need a second approach on solving this crime rather than just condemning one incident a lot, making tougher laws that can't be enforced and then just moving on.

link to the original story of the victim?

The amount of racism on here is disgusting. Considering the stories that have come out over the last couple of years of teenage boys gang raping girls and *filming* it, I'd say it's safe to assume that this sort of thing isn't something 'Western' culture is immune from. We should be focusing on how horrific it is and how to stop it, not the same old bullshit about how some countries are just 'wrong' or whatever some commenters here seem to be trying to prove. 

codeverity

**People on reddit always act like India is one big thing acting as a single entity.** As if everyone in India is focused on raping women and being corrupt. Is anyone aware how many different cultures are present in India ? It's an extremely complex nation. It's like saying a gangrape happened in Poland but the entire Eu is responsible for its occurrence. The population is 1.2-3 billion people.

Can we please focus on actual IMPORTANT womens rights issues! There is a video game that has a female character that I deem "problematic".

Someone should make the Joker meme for the Indian govt.

"Women and underage girls getting raped, nobody in the Indian govt. bats an eye.....Indian diplomat is strip searched in the USA because she is accused of mistreating her "Indian" housekeeper by underpaying her. Everybody fucking loses their mind."

Fuck this world.

The thing is, even though it's a country of 1.1 billion, and even though not all Indians are rapists (obviously), it's the optics. 

People won't go to a country that is *perceived* as being a country you're likely to be raped and murdered in. You can throw facts all you want, they won't go. 

I imagine it's similar to the insane belief in magic bullshit in India. Facts mean nothing when people are already convinced of something. 

So I guess that's just how it's going to be now. Blame the media, blame rapists, blame cultural insensitivity, but India is now the country people won't go to because they're worried about being savagely gang-raped and murdered. 

I don't even know where to start fixing that perception problem. How is this fixable? This is an honest question, where do we go from here? 

Why is rape the only crime that matters? I don't see murder, mutilation, torture, slavery ever reported on /r/worldnews nearly to the extent that rape does. *It would seem to me that only articles that generate enough outrage can get past the news threshold. And that's just sad.* That's the format of tabloid journalism. It's not news set out to inform. It's news set out to outrage and manipulate the readers emotions. If it's a woman and she was raped it's suddenly a worldwide catastrophe. While in actuality, it's just one of the multitude of horrific crimes happening all around the world right at this very second.

KeziaTML

I love Shiva, and hence have a natural attraction towards India - but to see them rally around a woman who was exploiting workers (of any nationality), just shows me that they are still stuck in their class/caste-obsessed social hierarchy. I don't understand how they don't see this diplomat is a "have" who was exploiting "have-nots."

Then came the posters that have gone up urging death to gays.

I'm no BJP bhakt but Mamata has perfected the dictator's playbook and makes Modi look like a noob.

All the Bengalis doing didi didi should be ashamed of themselves. Bengal has always been a gunda raj under her. She's openly nurturing goons and rapists under her wing and you losers can't muster up enough courage to call her out?

And this coming from one of the most educated and matriarchal states. Mamata bhakts are the ugliest stains on India's democracy.

West Bengal is doomed. Unless Mamta gets hit by a truck there’s no coming back

How is West Bengal silent on this? 
Earlier, it saw RG Kar Hospital rape crime and now, this.

Such a heinous crime to instill a fear of political power amongst women students, if met with anything less than death, it would be a great shame.

amxudjehkd

I don't understand, inspite of so much shit happening in WB, how BJP has still not gone into full frenzy, sometimes it honestly feels there is some back deal between modi and mamata.

this is so so so disgusting, the fact that every day such news comes, and its not even that these are the only one, its just the fact that these are the only one getting attention. I feel like vomitting, i mean i know we are decencitized by soo much exposure to such news, but since past few days news like this is just making me loose all faith in humanity. what the hell is wrong with peopleeeee. and news like this just makes parents and women more scared for anything neww

West Bengal is doomed beyond repair. Whoever will be in power will exploit everything available at their disposal. Its a system developed by the communists and further carried forward by the TMC.

West Bengal has completely gone out of control.  Needs to remove Mamta as soon as possible, and hope whichever party wins doesn't absorb the same TMC goons.

We need death sentences for proven culprits, there is no fear of consequences. and have started affecting ordinary men in Indian society.

 I can’t believe the 2nd boy family still thinks his son didn’t do anything and the girl took his name just like that right? And saying that he must have thought about his damn family good will ? I mean bruh ???

The first guy is in the same class for 10 years. Molesting was his full time job it seems

AlphaaRomeo

But there will be no outrage because people only care when you die.... Oh and what happened when the outrage happened for rg kar? Nothing it's still happening and will continue to happen..m

wonder_woman2506

To think that the 3rd guy was himself taking part in the RG Kar protests last year. Oh, the irony!

houseonpeachstreet

I'm sure that guy has done much more rapes but only this has come to light. The planning and execution of the crime shows that it's usual for him. Also note that while TMC knew about  Manojit's crimes they did nothing to stop him and then the same party members want the 3rd accused family to stop living in their current locality.  How ironic.  You are not taking action against the criminal, and now since it has come to light you are punishing the family who did nothing

BAN POLITICAL PARTIES IN PUBLIC KOLKATA COLLEGES!!   

There's no other way to end this rut. I hope the current generation stops being influenced by all these seniors and stop the presence of political parties in these colleges. Have just one uniform student council that has no association to any party and kick these outsider student leaders out from all political parties. 

I know pechone kathiye dewar sobhab bangalider jabe na kintu it's time everybody gets united atleast for once to get this deep rooted muck out of education institutes.

Raja_Gareebchandra

Our country is ruled by Chief ministers and prime ministers who themselves never upheld the sanctity of educational institutions nor value education. Worst part is we don't even think education is an important criteria for electing netas.

TMC will waste taxpayers' money to hire a dozen highest-paid lawyers (Sibbal?) to defend the culprits.

The 3rd picture is unbelievable. We don't know how many of such people exist around us. Maybe some of them reading this comment and reacting also. All men should introspect own mentality once and change if needed. Some things we do by saying "chalta hai" may be growing a small seedling of crime.
