Hi Dear Frens,
I am raising this isue about the molestation of a Cute lady in GateWay of India on the eve of New Year Celebration by a group of 30-40 People.
I first got to know the news on Aajtak TV Channel where the pic of the Completely naked back of the lady is taken by a cameraman present there to celebrate the new year..
This is a horrible incident. Even if her boyfren there (At least 6'4" tall with a Macho Physique) was unable to protest.

The Newz as follows.
New Delhi: New Year's eve, drunk party-goers and a gathering of 1,500 people at the Gateway of India to watch the fireworks ushering in 2007. In the midst of all the revelry, a woman is molested by nearly 70 men, her clothes torn apart. Her male friend is pushed to the side, the helpless woman's screams drowned by the noise of the crowd.
No one notices - and if anyone does, no one does anything about it. A Mumbai daily's lensman, who is covering the party from a temporary police watchtower captures the grisly incident on his camera. He says the incident has shaken his faith in the city that he has lived in all his life.
And most of the readers of IBNLive agree with the Mid-Day photographer.
Says a reader, Subu, "This is outrageous! Be it Mumbai or anywhere in India, with all the information which is available the culprits should be brought to book and paraded in public."
Subu says that women should try and avoid places where trouble can be expected, especially when anyone is under the influence of alcohol. "Better sense should have prevailed. However, it is certainly a shame to a city like Mumbai. What were the public doing?" he questions.
Nisha Jayadas agrees and adds, "This is shocking, disgusting and shameful. In a huge crowd of 1,500 people, how come nobody turned up to the rescue of that girl? Why did the others just choose to be silent spectators to this disgraceful act?"
Adds another reader, Rajalakshmi, "This is nothing new. It's there in the psyche to commit such a thing. It doesn't matter what type of clothes you wear and even if a girl is wearing a saree or a salwar, the response is the same. The city is irrelevant. Wherever there is an unruly mob, such a thing is bound to happen. I really don't understand what people gain by abusing women in a crowd like this."
She says that just because a reporter happened to catch everything on his camera, the incident came out in the open. However, there are many incidents like these that go unnoticed.
Rajalakshmi says that blaming police alone is not the solution. It's also about the responsibility and basic discipline one needs to have in oneself. "Such incidents arise out of the misplaced definitions of fun, enjoyment, values, culture etc.," says she.
Says another reader, Ajay Sonalkar, "The problem with our society is that it thrives on hypocrisy. We are not mature enough to understand how to respect women. These sort of incidents will happen regardless of what women are wearing. The clothes people wear is not the problem, the problem is the mentality of the people."
PS : I am inviting comment on that incident..
