The girls stolen from the streets of India

By Natalia Antelava BBC World Service, Delhi

Bilasi Singh's daughter Bisanti has been missing for two years

The death of a student who was gang-raped on a Delhi bus has prompted anguished soul-searching about the place of women in Indian society. The widespread killing of female foetuses and infants is well-documented, but less well-known is the trafficking of girls across the country to make up for the resulting shortages.

Rukhsana was sweeping the floor when police broke into the house. 

Wide-eyed and thin, she stood in the middle of a room clutching a broom in her hand. Police officers towered above her, shouting questions: "How old are you? "How did you get here?"
"Fourteen," she replied softly. "I was kidnapped."
But just as she began to say more, an older woman broke through the circle of policemen. "She is lying," she shouted. "She is 18, almost 19. I paid her parents money for her."
As the police pushed the girl towards the exit, the woman asked them to wait. She leaped over towards the girl and reached for her earrings. "These are mine," she said, taking them out.
A year ago, Rukhsana was a 13-year-old living with her parents and two younger siblings in a village near India's border with Bangladesh. 

Rukhsana (right) talks to police about her kidnapping

"I used to love going to school and I loved playing with my little sister," she remembers.
Her childhood ended when one day, on the way home from school, three men pushed her into a car.
"They showed me a knife and said they would cut me into pieces if I resisted," she said.
After a terrifying three-day journey in cars, buses and on trains, they reached a house in the northern Indian state of Haryana where Rukhsana was sold to a family of four - a mother and her three sons.
For one year she was not allowed to go outside. She says she was humiliated, beaten and routinely raped by the eldest of the three sons - who called himself her "husband".

Missing millions

• An estimated 25-50 million women in India are "missing", if you compare the proportion of women in the population with other countries
• As well as infanticide and foeticide, some girls die of neglect - many adult women also die early
• Use of ultrasound for sex determination is illegal in India, but remains widespread
• The states of Punjab and Haryana have the highest proportion of missing girls at birth
• Rich and modern cities like Delhi, Chandigarh, and Ahmadabad show some of the worst child sex ratios
• 
  

• The Age Distribution of Missing Women in India
• 
  
• ActionAid: Disappearing Daughters

"He used to say, 'I bought you, so you do as I tell you.' He and his mother beat me. I thought I would never see my family again. I cried every day," she said.

Tens of thousands of girls disappear in India every year. They are sold into prostitution, domestic slavery and, increasingly, like Rukhsana, into marriage in the northern states of India where the sex ratio between men and women has been skewed by the illegal - but widespread - practice of aborting girl foetuses.
The UN children's agency Unicef says it's a problem of "genocide proportions" and that 50 million women are missing in India because of female foeticide and infanticide - the killing of baby girls. The Indian government disputes this estimate, but the reality of life in Haryana is hard to argue with.
"We don't have enough girls here," the woman who bought Rukhsana cried as she tried to convince the police to let her stay. "There are many girls from Bengal here. I paid money for her," she wailed.
There are no official statistics on how many girls are sold into marriage in the northern states of India, but activists believe the number is on the rise, fuelled both by demand for women in the relatively wealthy north, and poverty in other parts of India.
"Every house in northern India is feeling the pressure, in every house there are young men who cannot find women and who are frustrated," says social activist Rishi Kant, whose organization Shakti Vahini (or Power Brigade) works closely with the police to rescue victims.
In just one area, the Sunderbans in the South 24 Parganas district of West Bengal, the BBC visited five villages all of which had missing children, mostly girls.

According to the latest official data, almost 35,000 children were reported missing in India in 2011 - and over 11,000 of them were from West Bengal. Police estimate that only about 30% of cases are actually reported. 

Trafficking peaked in the Sunderbans after a deadly cyclone destroyed rice paddies around the area five years ago.
Local farm worker, Bimal Singh - like thousands of people - was left without income, and so he thought it was good news when a neighbour offered his 16-year-old daughter Bisanti a job in Delhi.

"She went on a train. She told me 'Father, don't worry about me, I will come back with enough money so that you can marry me."

They never heard from her again.
"The police have done nothing for us. They came once and knocked on the door of the trafficker but they didn't arrest him. They don't treat me well when I go to them, so I am afraid to go to the police," Singh says.
In a Calcutta slum we manage to meet a man who sells girls for a living. He doesn't want to give his name, but speaks openly about the trade.
"The demand is rising, and because of this growing demand I have made a lot of money. I now have bought three houses in Delhi.
"I traffic 150 to 200 girls a year, starting from age 10, 11 and older, up to 16, 17," he says.

Why are there fewer girls in the north?

Indrani Sinha, director and founder of Sanlaap (Dialogue), an NGO that works on trafficking

In Haryana, people don't want to give birth to girls, so they kill their own children. It has gone on so long it has become tradition. The main reason is dowry.
Haryana is a rich state because they have a lot of land and good agriculture. But education is very, very low, and the dowry is big because of all this land.
Boys work on the farm and inherit the farm. But if it's given to a girl, it is for her family too.
It's a cultural thing too. In Kerala, they don't think that women are a burden. The girl child is educated and will work.
But some women - particularly in Punjab - believe that if they have many girls they won't be popular in the family, so they think abortion is better.
In places where there is money, they get ultrasounds done and they sometimes kill the child. When the government issues an ultrasound machine, they try to follow up to see what happens. There are many people who practise foeticide.

"I don't go to the source areas, but I have men working for me. We tell parents that we will get them jobs in Delhi, then we transport them to placement agencies. What happens to them after that is not my concern," the man says.

The man says he makes around 55,000 rupees ($1,000; £700) from each girl. Local politicians and police, he says, are crucial to his operation.
"Police are well aware of what we do. I have to tell police when I am transporting a girl and I bribe police in every state - in Calcutta, in Delhi, in Haryana.
"I have had troubles with authorities but I am not afraid - if I go to jail I now have enough money to bribe my way out."
The head of the Criminal Investigation Unit in charge of anti-trafficking in West Bengal, Shankar Chakraborty, describes police corruption as "negligible" and says his unit is "absolutely resolute" in its determination to tackle the problem of trafficking. 

"We are organising training camps and awareness campaigns. We have also recovered many girls, from different areas of the country. The fight is on," he says.
The very existence of his unit, he adds, shows the government's resolve and activists agree that police are now more aware of the problem. Every police station in West Bengal now has an anti-trafficking officer. But their caseloads are overwhelming, and resources are scarce.

 
"Simply changing the police will not give results. When we rescue a child together with the police, then what?" says Rishi Kant from Shakti Vahini.
"What we need is fast rehabilitation. We need social welfare and judiciary systems that work."
Rishi Kant says there is a need for fast-track courts - like the court being used to try the suspects in the latest gang-rape case - to prosecute perpetrators, and make it more difficult for them to get out on bail.
Even greater, some argue, is the need for a change in attitudes.

Two weeks before the notorious Delhi rape case, a group of influential local elders, all of them men, came together in a Haryana village to discuss what they called the most pressing issues their communities face - rape, illegal abortions and marriage laws.
One speaker addressed what he called an "alarming" increase in rape cases. "Have you seen the suggestive ways that girls ride scooters?" he said. "There is no modesty in the way women dress or act any more."

Defining terms

• Foeticide - The act of destroying a foetus or causing abortion
• Infanticide - The crime of murdering an infant after its birth, perpetrated by or with the consent of its parents

Source: Oxford English Dictionary

• India's unwanted girls
• How India treats its girls
• 
  

Another man spoke about the roots of female foeticide. "These days the society has become very educated and the girls from this educated society have started eloping. When girls bring shame on their own parents and behave like that - who would want a girl?" he asked.

Rupa, a 25-year-old woman was trafficked to Haryana from Bihar. She was sold as a wife to a man who failed to find one in his own community. The family forced her to have two abortions until she was finally pregnant with a baby boy.
In India, the cycle of abuse carries on.

Must Read - Thought Provoking:

 

I would like to sum up our performance in the 20th century in one sentence. Indians have
succeeded in countries ruled by whites, but failed in their own. This outcome would have
astonished leaders of our independence movement. They declared Indians were
kept down by white rule and could flourish only under self-rule. This seemed self-evident.
The harsh reality today is that Indians are succeeding brilliantly in countries ruled by whites,
but failing in India . They are flourishing in the USA and Britain .

But those that stay in India are pulled down by an outrageous system that fails to
reward merit or talent, fails to allow people and businesses to grow, and keeps real power
with netas, politicians, and assorted manipulators. Once Indians go to white-ruled countries,
they soar and conquer summits once occupied only by whites.

Rono Dutta has become head of United Airlines, the biggest airline in the world.
Had he stayed in India , he would have no chance in Indian Airlines. Even if the top job
there was given to him by some godfather, politicians and trade unionists would have ensured that
he could never run it like United Airlines. Vikram Pundit was head of Citigroup until recently,
which operates Citibank, one of the largest banks in the world.

Rana Talwar has become head of Standard Chartered Bank, one of the biggest
multinational banks in Britain , while still in his 40s. Had he been in India , he would
perhaps be a local manager in the State Bank, taking orders from politicians to give loans
to politically favored clients.

Lakhsmi Mittal has become the biggest steel baron in the world, with steel plants in
the US , Kazakhstan , Germany , Mexico , Trinidad and Indonesia . India 's socialist policies
reserved the domestic steel industry for the public sector. So Lakhsmi Mittal
went to Indonesia to run his family's first steel plant there. Once freed from the shackles of India ,
he conquered the world.

Subhash Chandra of Zee TV has become a global media king, one of the few to beat
Rupert Murdoch. He could never have risen had he been limited to India , which decreed
a TV monopoly for Indian company, Doordarshan. But technology came to
his aid: satellite TV made it possible for him to target India from Hong Kong . Once he
escaped Indian rules and soil, he soared.

You may not have heard of 48-year old Gururaj Deshpande. His communications company,
Sycamore, is currently valued by the US stock market at over $30 billion, making him perhaps
one of the richest Indians in the world. Had he remained in India, he would probably be
a politician in the Department of Telecommunications.

Arun Netravali has become president of Bell Labs, one of the biggest research and
development centers in the world with 30,000 inventions and several Nobel Prizes to its credit.
Had he been in India , he would probably be struggling in the middle cadre of Indian Telephone
Industries. Silicon Valley alone contains over 100,000 Indian millionaires. 

Indra Krishnamurthy Nooyi has been the CEO of  PepsiCo Inc. since 2006, a Fortune 500 company.
Sabeer Bhatia invented Hotmail and sold it to Microsoft for $ 400 million. Victor Menezes, born in
Pune in 1949, was number two in Citibank until late last year. Shailesh Mehta is CEO of Providian,
a top US financial services company. Also at or near the top are Rakesh Gangwal of US Air,
Jamshd Wadia of Arthur Andersen, and Aman Mehta of Hong Kong Shanghai Banking Corp.

In Washington DC , the Indian CEO High Tech Council has no less than 200 members, all
high tech-chiefs. While Indians have soared, India has stagnated. At independence India was
the most advanced of all colonies, with the best prospects.

Today with a GNP per head of $370, it occupies a lowly 177^th position among 209 countries
of the world. But poverty is by no means the only or main problem. India ranks near the bottom
in the United Nation's Human Development Index, but high up in Transparency International's
Corruption Index.

The politician-raj brought in by socialist policies is only one reason for India 's failure.
The more sordid reason is the rule-based society we inherited from the British Raj is today in tatters.
Instead money, muscle and influence matter most.

At independence we were justly proud of our politicians. Today we regard them as
scoundrels and criminals. They have created a jungle of laws in the holy name of socialism,
and used these to line their pockets and create patronage networks. No influential
crook suffers. The Mafia flourish unhindered because they have political links.

The sons of police officers believe they have a license to rape and kill. Talent cannot
take you far amidst such bad governance. We are reverting to our ancient feudal system
where no rules applied to the powerful. The British Raj brought in abstract concepts
of justice for all, equality before the law. These were maintained in the early years of
independence. But sixty years later, citizens wail that India is a lawless land where no
rules are obeyed.

I have heard of an IAS probationer at the Delhi training academy pointing out that in
India before the British came, making money and distributing favors to relatives was not
considered a perversion of power, it was the very rationale of power. A feudal official
had a duty to enrich his family and caste. 

Then the British came and imposed a new ethical code on officials. But, he asked,
why should we continue to choose British customs over Indian ones now that we are independent?

The lack of transparent rules, properly enforced, is a major reason why talented Indians
cannot rise in India . A second reason is the politician-raj, which remains intact despite
supposed liberalization. But once talented Indians go to rule-based societies in the west,
they take off.  In those societies all people play by the same rules, all have freedom to
innovate without being strangled by regulations.

This, then, is why Indians succeed in countries ruled by Non-Indians, and fail in their own.
It is the saddest story of the century. Be Indian BUT Not in INDIA .

Sorry, a little abusive language is used at the end which is in fact the whole gist of the message!   Two Crocodiles   Two Crocodiles were sitting by the side of the swamp near the river.. The smaller one turned to the bigger one and said, "I can't understand how you can be so much bigger than me. We're the same age. We were the same size as kids. I just don't get it." "Well," said the big Croc, "What have you been eating?" "Politicians, same as you," replied the small Croc. "Hmm.. Well, where do you catch them?" "Down the other side of the swamp near the parking lot by the Parliament Buildings." "Same here. Hmm. How do you catch them?" "Well, I crawl up under one of their Lexus cars and wait for one to unlock the car door. Then I jump out, grab them by the leg, shake the shit out of them and eat 'em!" "Ah!" says the big Crocodile, "I think I see your problem. You're not getting any real nourishment.

«*» RUKHSANA«*» BOILING WATER IN MICRO-WAVE

 

 

Thanks / Regards

Am not violating any copy rights law or not any illegal action am not supposed to do.If anything is against law please notify so that they can be removed.



Microwaving Water!
A 26-year old man decided to have a cup of coffee.
He took a cup of water and put it in the microwave to
 heat it up (something that he had done numerous times before).
 I am not sure how long he set the timer for, but he wanted
to bring the water to a boil. When the timer shut the oven off,
he removed the cup from the oven. As he looked into the cup,
 he noted that the water was not boiling, but suddenly the
 water in the cup 'blew up' into his face. The cup remained
intact until he threw it out of his hand, but all the water had
 flown out into his face due to the build-up of energy.
His whole face is blistered and he has 1st and 2nd
degree burns to his face which may leave scarring.

He also may have lost partial sight in his left eye.
While at the hospital, the doctor who was attending to
 him stated that this is a fairly common occurrence and
 water (alone) should never be heated in a microwave oven.
 If water is heated in this manner, something should be
 placed in the cup to diffuse the energy such as a
wooden stir stick, tea bag, etc, (nothing metal).

General Electric's Response:

Thanks for contacting us; I will be happy to assist you.
The e-mail that you received is correct. Microwaved water
 and other liquids do not always bubble when they
reach boiling point. They can actually get superheated and
 not bubble at all. The superheated liquid will bubble up out
 of the cup when it is moved or when something like a
 spoon or tea bag is put into it.

To prevent this from happening and causing injury,
do not heat any liquid for more than two minutes per cup.
After heating, let the cup stand in the microwave for
 thirty seconds before moving it or adding anything into it.

Here is what a local high school science teacher had
 to say on the matter: 'Thanks for the microwave warning.
 I have seen this happen before. It is caused by a
phenomenon known as super heating.
It can occur any time water is heated and
will particularly occur if the vessel that the water is
heated in is new, or when heating a small
amount of water (less than half a cup).

What happens is that the water heats faster than
the vapor bubbles can form. If the cup is very new,
then it is unlikely to have small surface scratches
inside it that provide a place for the bubbles to form.
As the bubbles cannot form and release some of the heat
 that has built up, the liquid does not boil, and the
 liquid continues to heat up well past its boiling point.

What then usually happens is that the liquid is
bumped or jarred, which is just enough of a shock
 to cause the bubbles to rapidly form and expel the hot liquid.
The rapid formation of bubbles is also why a
carbonated beverage spews when opened
after having been shaken.

If you pass this on, you could very well
save someone from a lot of pain and suffering.

 

Thanks / Regards

Shakeel Ahmed
