These days it is fashionable to blame western dress, culture and way of life for rape, molestation and ill treatment of women.  But is western culture any way responsible for stripping and torturing the rural woman. Rather is this not ancient Hindu Indian culture?

It is mentality that is hurting everything not Hindu culture, Hindu culture does not say about this, but it is people with bad minds creating troubles. 

Stripping and torturing is not just restricted Indian culture. You can see stripping and torturing in other cultures too.

This is a most frequent scenario now in rural India and it is condemnable and inhuman act. BUT we can not attribute it to ancient Hindu culture as the author of this thread is so often inclined to do so recently. In ancient India, enemies and people who committed horrible crimes were punished with such acts. Today in the modern India, this act is simply a product of aggression that arises from the need to maintain superiority over others. How do you propose to explain the public lynching and stoning of women accused of adultery in Islamic culture even today in the 21st century?

It is a cruelty against humanity experienced by helpless people in the remote villages, and needs to be condemned. It is an uncultured activity of some perverted minds, but cannot be attributed to Hindu or Indian culture.

Perverted minds are there everywhere. I fail to understand why only Hinduism or Indian culture is singled out as if Indian culture is a haven for perverts, monsters and devils.

This is just excuse to hide their crime and all that. Yes now these things are not rare, too sad that it is becoming normal thing in our culture. 

Stripping and torturing women is not there in other cultures? 

That's  the reality.  So, what I say is singling out Hinduism or Indian culture for stripping and torturing women is not proper.

I would rather dub it as 'perverse culture' without naming any specific culture being responsible for it. The figures on the stone panels of a famous temple in Orissa should make us ponder if things were as ideal as we believe in ancient times in India!

Could you please elaborate on the temple and the kind of carvings on those panels??

I would not single out Hindu culture or religion. But this is just a retort to those who blame western culture and influence for all ills. 

 

@Kalyani

I was alluding to ones  on the Sun temple in Orissa ! 

Those men who did not have courage to face women doing stripping and torturing. 

Not to be considered as universal and everything is related with Hindu culture as those people who are doing this are having psychological disorders what is the reason to connect Hinduism with it. 

I agree with you Mohan. It has become habit to relate EVERYTGING and anything  to Hinuism. It's not a healthy trend.

It is a cowardice act and the perpetrators need to face stringent punishment. 

Agreed. Let the perpetrators ofsuch heinous deeds be put to task.

India Is going to the wrong Track because India is a country where girl are treated with a great respect, but as the crimes are increasing the women are not safe. Torturing a woman  is not Indian rural culture, we should respect each and every women. India People should thing twice before acting.

India is a country of total contradictions, on one hand we claim that girls are treated with respect and they are worshipped. On the other hand, India is also the country to indulge in female foeticide, the rate of which is probably the highest in the world.

 

By the way, only one link ijn signature line is permissible, so I request you to delete second link.
