Dalit woman commits suicide to evade rape attempt
India's News.Net
Saturday 5th July, 2008 (IANS)
A Dalit woman committed suicide Saturday by setting herself on fire in Uttar Pradesh's Faizabad district to evade a rape attempt by her neighbour, police said.
Family members alleged that she took the extreme step to evade a rape attempt by a neighbour in Faizabad, about 150 km from here.
'The woman, in her dying statement to the magistrate, seconded the allegations made by her husband Rajaram, but died before naming the person,' Faizabad police chief R.K.S. Rathore told IANS.
The woman stated that she was alone in the house when a youth scaled the wall and tried to grab her, said Rathore.
'She rushed towards the kitchen and set herself on fire,' he added.
The police have detained a youth of the same locality for questioning, an official said.

Deeply saddened
There is a part of the world where all a woman could do to protect herself from the horror of rape was to set herself ablaze.
Fuck so called humanity! Let’s all decent humanists of all religions, races, political persusions take back control from the religious bigots, racists, sexists, homophobes and miscellaneous scum
that have overrun this beautiful earth!
Hey, “Anonymous”; fucked up shit like this happens in all countries! not just in 'crazy' India. They may have a less than perfact human rights record but what’s with the US supporting militarist Pakistan for most of the cold-war while India maintained almost continuous democracy (granted their irritating contrarian stance of siding with the USSR on many issues.)

Cover Story
Hopefully the police will investigate. Could this be another case of bride burning? Now if this was a case of a mohmmadian killing his daughter or one of his wifes to preserve the family 'honour' that would be ok.

It's just a dalit
Come on now, it’s just a dalit. Who cares what happens to her? Can you really convict a person of higher caste on the word of an untouchable?

Callous responses
Wow, I can’t believe the callousness I’ve read thus far. Some of you people are complete idiots. What if it were your mother, daughter, sister, GRANDMOTHER, or any other close friend. I know some of you are trying to be cute with your responses but wake up. If this sort of behavior continues, these thugs will take over, then you will be too busy protecting your family you won’t have time to make jokes at the expense of others because you’ll be in their shoes!

yes I could convict on her word
Hey Apathetic, not only could I take her word as an untouchable, but I could put a round in his or your head without breathing a single heavy breath or breaking a sweat just because you all CONSIDER yourselves a higher caste. And your nick name would be a much better resemblance if you dropped the leading “A”.
