A thirteen year old girl and her older sister went for a walk to a neighboring farm, and on their way back, they were confronted by three men. The men raped the thirteen year old girl, and when she told them that she was going to tell on them, they set her on fire. Her older sister ran for help, but the younger girl was burned so badly that she later died of her wounds while in the hospital.
This is just another despicable case of rape in India, the world’s second most populated country, which remains third world, even in the year 2013, and where barbaric actions from eons ago are still practiced.
Rape in India is almost common place and the brutal ways in which it is performed, rape in and of itself being brutal enough, seem as if they are made for B horror movies.
Last year, a 23 year old woman was raped on a bus by six men. One of her attackers was actually the bus driver. She was then thrown from the bus and died later from her wounds. Reports of girls as young as four years old being raped have become common in India.
