Young Sisters Harrased By Men On A Public Bus In India Fight Back. by thorpido(m): 11:04am On Dec 02, 2014 |
(CNN) -- Video of two sisters in India fighting back against men who allegedly harassed them has gone viral. The footage shows Aarti and Pooja Kumar landing punches and thrashing the three men with a belt while riding a bus in the northern state of Haryana, an area with a reputation for hostility to women. Violence against women and rape in India have made international headlines in the past few years, and the scene of two women fighting back has sparked widespread praise on social media. Aarti Kumar, 22, told CNN that she and Pooja, 19, were standing at a bus stop near their college Friday when the men came up to them and began taunting and throwing pieces of paper with their telephone numbers. The sisters tried to ignore the men but they persisted. Then they followed the sisters onto the bus, she said. You're too poor to even ride the bus, Kumar recalled the men saying.  So she and her sister did what they thought they had to do to defend and protect themselves. One lurched toward one of the men, thrashing what looks like a belt. Both grabbed one man's sweater and pulled. Two of the men grabbed the women, and they struggled to get free. One sister pressed the palm of her hand against a man trying to overcome her. Aarti Kumar said that no one on the bus tried to help the sisters, and some passengers shouted for them to stop fighting the men and get off. Women recorded fighting harassers The men have been arrested, and charges are pending further investigation, police told CNN. The video, shot by a passenger, has been shared in many news stories in India and inspired the Twitter hashtag "IFoughtThemBack." Some women are tweeting that they too have fought men who harassed them and are glad that the video is garnering so much attention. In a highly unusual turn, the government is rewarding the Kumar sisters for their actions. Harayana's Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar announced that the sisters would be recognized with "bravery" awards that include cash on January 26, India's Republic Day. Kumar said her parents have been very supportive of her and her sister, also unusual because girls and women in some areas of India are often discouraged from reporting instances of harassment. Stories of rape and sexual harassment in India have received much attention recently. In June, three brothers confessed to raping two teenage girls in Uttar Pradesh state. Police said at first that the suspects hanged their victims from a mango tree, but an investigation of their deaths concluded last week that the girls committed suicide. A gang rape and murder of a 23-year-old woman in New Delhi in late 2012 brought into stark relief the danger that some women face in India. The crime ignited campaigns to call attention to violent crime that targets women. Source:CNN I think there should be more of this.Some men just think they have the liberty to do whatever they want with female strangers they meet in public.There should be more stringent laws against rape and women in power should continue to push for those laws.I read in the newspaper over the weekend of a housemaid who was repeatedly molested by the son of her madam and even brought friends to have their turn.The madam knew about it.Such things should not happen without consequences. 1 Like |

You can see the irony in Indians. It is possible there is something wrong with the average mentality of the indian male, perhaps too much p0rn or possession by demons siince they worship many gods. How can you just see two females, possibly decently dressed, and choose to sexually harrass them? even start touching their body parts? in the presence of people in the bus? And the mumu people around couldnt do anything to save those girls. Kudos to those girls for defending themselves. Thats why i encourage any lady in ths position to use self defence. A kick in the d1ck is enough to reset a rapist's brain. they could have looked for a heavy object to smash those men with so that they will bleed. Nonsense. For those who are fond of using indecent dressing as an excuse for every rape case, can you all now see that A rapist isnt mentally sound such that the person could think of raping another? Its not the dressing. Its the mindset of a rapist that is the problem. You can imagine a rapist telling the victim that no one will believe her if she reports and she will be blamed for putting herself in that situation even if she didnt do so. This means those who believe such are helping rapists to carry on with their act and to discourage victims from coming out. We need to change our mndset. 11 Likes 3 Shares |
