Editorial Perspectives

• Such brave girls are needed everywhere !
• Women are forced to take such steps because strict action is not taken against the criminals.
• Lustful Muslims ! Why do Muslim names frequently come up in cases of atrocities against women in India ? What action will the Government take on them ?
