Eh, you should probably provide a concise summary of the article's main points in the opening post if you want people to react.
Not easy to run country with 1,3 billion people as democracy...

Vande Mataram
I show gratitude to thee, Mother,
richly-watered, richly-fruited,
cool with the winds of the south,
dark with the crops of the harvests,
The Mother!
Her nights rejoicing in the glory of the moonlight,
her lands clothed beautifully with her trees in flowering bloom,
sweet of laughter, sweet of speech,
The Mother, giver of boons, giver of bliss.

Rambling and inconsistent
Disgusting, this is.
Quick, somebody blame Islam.

The political party that dude belonged to is a far-right group that's in a coalition I think with the ruling party, call themselves Shiva's Army. Extremely opposed to Muslims, the leader had described them as a "cancer" to be rooted out. They were also opposed to Western influence, had tried to ban English signs and English movies. Also opposed to people who didn't speak the native language and was opposed to migrant workers from other parts of India and was responsible for attacks against them, and many migrant workers had fled.
They're real class acts.

I got the impression that the girls have been released, and the upper government wants an investigation and charges against whoever decided to arrest them. Seems like a relative non-issue.

Amateurs.
If you really want to oppress women, go next door to Pakistan.
They shoot them there for getting uppity.
I think you mean Afghanistan for the shooting.
But Iran and Saudi Arabia (where women can't drive) aren't doing bad in the keep women down department either.
A bigger problem in India, however, would be the still very present caste sytem mindset, and child labour, without which the extremely poor hardly can survive.

Thanks.
I didn't think anyone on a western forum was ignorant of Pakistan's attitude towards women.

Pakistan is interesting out here; I'd say if you asked a bunch of Westerners, 70% of them wouldn't know a damn thing about it. And it's pretty high up there on the list of "states The West should really be paying attention to".
One girl getting shot by an extremist is indicative of country's attitude to women? Really...

The northwest of Pakistan looks a lot like Taliban controlled Afghanistan.

I doubt it. I have never heard North American media so much as mention that.
Shoot, someone already brought up Pakistan.
Anyway, if the Mohammedans aren't so violent and traitorous and a cancer to all things then Shiv Sena wouldn't exist as a defender of Hindu values so ultimately this is all the Mussulmans fault.
Good enough?
