Society as a whole remains shocked at the savage gang rape of a 23 year old para-medic girl and the brute violence upon her and her male companion, by six men in a moving bus in New Delhi, national capital of India.
The outrageous incident has shaken the conscience of the nation. Civilised forces are up in arms and protest demonstrations are going all over the country.
Rapes and brutal crimes against women however are routine affair in the country. Despite all rhetoric of the governments and leaders of capitalist parties, these crimes had been on sharp rise in last years, both in their magnitude and brutality. Core aspect of this crime is that only the women from working and toiling classes are victim of these assaults.
