[quote=CindyBindy][quote=Anonymous][quote=CindyBindy][quote=Anonymous][quote=CindyBindy]This is heart-breaking. I know someone who works in the office building right by where this happened. What is really alarming about it is that it happened in Bombay, which is an incredibly liberal city. That poor girl.

The reason these bastards continue to rape is because they know the judicial system is broken and that people are afraid to go to the police. Unless someone is made an example of and people know that they are going to be held accountable under the law, there is no real long-term solution to combat this.

Well, we also desperately need to change social attitudes, and that starts with little boys at home and at school.

And thank you all for pointing out that rape is a world-wide phenomenon.[/quote]

Mumbai[/quote]

Yeah, I call it Bombay out of habit. Nobody who lives there calls it Mumbai either.  :P #indianpretentiousness[/quote]

Yes why not embrace the English pronunciation. :roll: [/quote]

1) Not everyone agrees that the little fishing village it used to be, before the Portuguese transformed it into a city, was called Mumbai.
2) The political party that changed the name are Hindu-fanatic, Maratha nationalists who are universally hated. Instead of fixing the city's infrastructure issues or various social ills, they fixated on a name change that has never been proven accurate.
3) It is called Bombay by the people who live there. They aren't trying to be white. It's just the name of their city.

Edit: I like the way you draw an argument out of this when the topic of this thread is something completely different, and more important.[/quote]
