rauri Member Gender: N/A Bhakta	# Posted: 11 Jan 2007 11:45 I got to know a man from Sri Lanka last year. I asked him about his country and its problems. He told me that corruption was the biggest problem. Because all the time the polititians were corrupt the other problems wouldn't get sorted out. In Sri Lanka he was a qualified lawyer. In London he was working as a cleaner There was another positive story about justice in India in today's papers. Copied from the Independent: "India abolishes husbands' 'right' to rape wife By Justin Huggler in Delhi Published: 27 October 2006 For the first time, women in India have legal protection against abuse in their own homes under a law which came into force yesterday. It is the first time Indian law has recognised marital rape, sexual, emotional or verbal abuse of a woman by her husband as crimes. India is a country where the streets are safe - but a woman is not safe inside her own home." Full article: http://news.independent.co.uk/world/asia/article1932745.ece rauri
rauri Member Gender: N/A Bhakta	# Posted: 15 Jan 2007 10:09 I am reading a book at the moment about India. The author is researching the Thug cults and modern Indian crime. It looks like the Thug clampdown was kind of a witch-hunt where an accused person could escape being hung by accusing someone else. This was similar to the Salem witch trials. The author meets an Indian journalist on a bus who tells him. "When William Sleeman (thug finder general) came here, he hanged a few hundred men from trees, some of them innocent, then the British declared the job done and went away. But, the job was not even started. They blamed Kali, but the truth was the real evil was the networks of corruption and the British could not attack that because they relied on those high people. Every thug, dacoit or bandit were all linked to the landowners and maharajahs. Now we call those big shots member of parliament or police inspector or councillor, and those thugs are now Naxals and rebels. Nothing has changed. The poor farmers, the women and children, these people still suffer." The book is Children of Kali by Kevin Rushby rauri
