Why girls and young women are gang-raped in India

                  Utter failure of the system

- Harish Jharia

In the recent times there has been a steep escalation in the cases of gang rapes against girls and women in India. Such cases depend on the sexual attitude of male population towards their female counterparts in a particular society, place and region. It also depends on the careless and unsecured venturing out by girls and women at late nights and in secluded places.  

Following are the categories of sexual offenders who are suspected to commit gang rapes on girls and women: 

1. The gang-rapists are usually found in the age group between 17 year to 35 year
2. These sex offenders are usually unmarried men, separated married men or widowers 
3. Most of these rapists are either illiterates or dropouts from schools 
4. Most of these rapists are either unemployed vagabonds or unskilled / skilled laborers like drivers, cleaners, daily wage workers etc 
5. These sex criminals usually hail from poor families living in slums 
6. The Rapists plan and execute sexual crimes at their favorite places vulnerable for girls and women 
7. Some of the sex criminals are suspected to be victims of child-abuse in their early lives
8. Some of the rapists are suspected to be mentally abnormal like being short-tempered, insensitive, cruel, criminal minded etc 

                                Risky location  

Following are the vulnerable situations and conditions for gang rapes on girls and women:

1. Girls and women who venture out all alone at late nights and to isolated places may fall prey to these molesters
2. Girls and women connected to discothèques, and night clubs are more susceptible to  gang rapes, if they commute all alone at late nights, especially on taxies and other public transports   
3. Gangs of sex offences also target romantic couples who find secluded places for their meetings. The goons first threaten the couple, overpower the male partner and then molest the female 
4. Girls and women boarding empty taxis  auto rickshaws, buses or train compartments at nights are also vulnerable to sexual offences committed by vagabonds 

                        Rave Parties in India 

What the government and society should do to eliminate sexual crimes against girls and women:

1. The local police should enforce law in such a way that girls and women become safe everywhere and every time, round the clock and no incident of molestation takes place
2. The police and local administration should attend to the victims, file FIR, arrest the culprits and initiate criminal proceedings immediately against them 
3. The society should develop a healthy social order that people stop treating girls and women as commodities for quenching their lust (हवस)
4. Girls and women should also follow some code of conduct for ensuring their own safety
5. Girls and women should not venture out to secluded places in day or night all alone or with a companion. 
6. Girls and women should avoid visiting or working in discotheques or night clubs in nightshifts if they do not have their own mode of transport. They should also avoid attending such programs if they are not in a group of 4-5 friends
7. Women organizations and overenthusiastic social workers should not criticize  intellectuals and senior citizens, calling them morale police,  who propose security precautions for girls and women 
8. Cheap item numbers, filthy dialogues, rustic songs and erotic exposure of female bodies in films and television definitely pollute people’s attitude towards girls and women. Films and television programs are required to be drastically refined and made much decent
9. Girls and women have recently started sporting western outfits like hot pants, skintight jeans and tops, thereby exposing cleavages, waistlines, legs and armpits. Indian common men are not used to watch such western avatars of Indian girls and woman 
10. The boys and young men hailing from poor and illiterate families look at the girls and women in western outfits, as if they are item girls of films and TV commercials. That is the reason why they stare at them, stalk them and try to touch them 
11. These vagabonds then set out for locating helpless girls or women after developing perverted sex desire and molest them on the first available opportunity

Men’s Health and Cosmetic Look: Excess Growth of Hair on Eyebrows, Ear and nostrils Especially on Senior Citizens

                                   Nasal hair

Men grow hair in their nostrils and on their external ears, in addition to their facial hair. Their mustaches and beard start growing at their puberty; whereas their ear and nostrils grow hairs in their late thirties. Nasal and external ear hairs result in ugly facial look in man rather than serving any practical utility.

These hairs grow more in the case of senior citizens. I have seen many elderly people, including some celebrities, sporting outwardly shooting ear-hair with pride. Many elderly people move around carelessly with nasal hair protruding out of their nostrils. But in general these hairs are not considered good for facial looks of men and most of the people get rid of them by one way or the other.


                    Hair on external ear

There are following three type of ugly facial hair found in men especially in their later age: 

1. Excess growth of hair on eyebrows: Additional thicker, harder and longer hair use to sprout out on the eyebrows of men in their late thirties. These hairs grow more in their post fifty ages when men reach their senior citizen stage. These hairs give scary look and should be trimmed regularly.
2. Excess growth of hair in nostrils: Additional thicker, harder and longer hair use to sprout out of the nostrils of men in their late thirties. These hairs grow more in their post fifty ages when men reach their senior citizen stage. These hairs give filthy and scary look and should be trimmed regularly. Nasal hair also affect the day-to-day life of men as the sufferers feel itching sensation when the thick bunches of hair touch the inner sensitive surface of nostrils. They also sneeze when the pointed ends of thick and hard hairs pinch the walls of nostrils. Such people usually develop habits of touching their noses frequently and sometimes insert fingers in nostrils.
3. Excess growth of hair on external ears: Additional use to grow out on the external ears of men in their late thirties. These hairs grow more in their post fifty ages when men reach their senior citizen stage. These hairs give ugly look and should be trimmed regularly.

1.5 volt AA battery operated Hair Trimmer

These hairs can be trimmed with the help of small scissors or you can rather go for electric trimmers available in the market. Almost all of these trimmers work on 1.5 volt AA batteries. They are handy and can be operated singlehandedly, easily and safely. With the help of these trimmers, you can completely cutoff hair from your nostrils and from the external ears. The hair sprouted out from your eyebrows will have to be trimmed and brought to the length of the normal hair of the eyebrows. 

This grooming exercise will have to be performed at least twice a month regularly.

Crazy Ideas: Resource Conservation: How to Utilize the Leftovers of Bath-Soaps:

Ashburn, Virginia, USA

With the introduction of international branded soaps in India my family also tried some of these brands at our home. We found them really useful and effective as far as skin care and cleaning is concerned. But the main hitch was the prize of these brands. 

We came across ‘Dove’ bath-soap in the year 2003 in one of the shops in Paltan Bazar at Dehradun. I was shocked to learn about its price tag of Rs 40/- as compare to the 100 gram Indian bath-soaps available on the same shop within the range of Rs 12/- to 20/-. The prize difference at the ratio of 12:40 between these soaps still continues till today.

Now let us discuss about the leftovers of the bath-soaps that are usually drained out in the commode or are used for hand-wash. 

Some people just throw these leftover soaps in the dustbin. Nevertheless, I just could not afford to throw the leftovers of the bath-soaps worth Rs 70/- to Rs 80/- a piece. I, instead, use to attach the leftovers of previous bath-soaps to the fresh pieces (using molecular adhesion process) and use the coupled soap cakes for bathing. 

For sticking the leftovers to a fresh soap cake you may follow this process:

1. Use the fresh soap cake for two baths, so that the smoothness of its surface goes 
2. Keep the leftover bath-soap under the shower while you take bath, so that it becomes soft
3. Place the leftover on the bath-soap over the soft wet bath-soap and ring one against the other, so that any air-bubble or water forces out 
4. Leave them stuck-together overnight and you will find that both the pieces of soaps integrated as one single piece 

Look at the following images of the process in successive stages:

            Fresh soap and leftover soap

Put wet leftover on the new wet soap and ring them

Soap attached with leftover is ready to use

Fair Completion: How to Avoid Darkening of Our Skin?

© Harish Jharia

Before we go ahead with discussion on color of our skin I would like to tell you one thing that:
Non-white complexion that we Indians have is a blessing in disguise… and that is why there are no cases of Skin Cancer in Indians and other non-white races in the world.

How does our skin become darker?

Now let us come back to our point on color of our skin. Just look at the skin of your body that is always covered with clothes and compare it with your face or your arms. You will notice a vast difference between the complexions of the two areas of your own skin. The reason is that the skin of your arms and face has turned darker due to exposure of the same to sun light.

This has happened because our skin is photosensitive like photo-chromic spectacles / glasses and this characteristic comes from the melanin present in our skin that turns dark for preventing the ultraviolet and infrared radiations of sun-shine from penetrating into the inner layers of your skin and may probably cause skin cancer.

How to prevent our skin from becoming dark:

1. It is as simple as 1+1 = 2… just protect your skin from exposure against sun and for that you may follow the following guidelines:
2. Use caps while going in sun
3. Use sun-glasses / goggles while going out in sun
4. Wear full sleeves top / shits / pans / jeans while venturing out in sun
5. Use sun screen lotions twice a day
6. Use lotions of Calamine composition on your face while going to bed at night
7. You may also use fairness creams that are available over the counters
8. Grandmother’s beauty tips made with gram flour, turmeric, rose water, etc may also be tried at night
9. Rinse your face at least 3 – 4 times with chilled water during summers
10. Best of luck for a successful beautification mission…
