Why Is India Celebrate Ra.pe Festival

Is it true that "The Assam Rape Festival In India Began This Week" as reported by National Report | America's #1 Independent News Team?

It has same amount of truth as in "America Mass Shooting Festival". Those idiots of National Report have not even made a clarification that is was a satirical piece. It seems it was not attempted humor, but a racist attack on Indians. Specially after the successful launch of the Mars mission, a direct attempt to malign India's name.

Stupid Question: Why are Indian men so compelled to rape?

The question should be - Why are you and many others so compelled to defame India and blindly assume and accuse every Indian man of having such an evil thought? There are 60 crore plus men in India, and let us say there are 40 crore who are old enough to even get such thoughts. If 40 crore men had such tendencies, India wouldn't have remained a sane country, it would have become an insane nation suffering a huge social crisis, slowly heading towards becoming a failed state. If every man had such ideas, there wouldn't be any male feminists, including me, who would any day defend why gender equality and empowerment of women are needed. If every man had such ideas, the level of voices that are raised against increasing cases of violence against women would not even be half as much as it is now. I am not even going to write further, since this pathetic, offensive question doesn't deserve such a detailed answer. But, just know one important thing - Whatever you are trying to achieve by defaming India and painting all Indian men as potential rapists, you are going to fail terribly. It is also important for you and your likes to realize that you all are also potential threats to the harmony between genders in this country like the beasts who carry out such heinous acts.   Suggestion: You should first look at how to change your mentality which is compelling you to think that all Indian men are compelled to rape.

Why does rape happen in India where Dussehra is celebrated?

We celebrate Dusshehra every year because we know..... we all have a RAVAN inside has who has to be burnt......... Rapes occur in India because we have a dominantly Patriarchal society over here and girls and women only enjoy freedom just for the sake of freedom....... its because of our mentalityUndergrad@NSIT

How is celebrating Durga Puja justified at a time when attacks and atrocities on women have risen in our society?

Thanks for A2A Divya Choudhary (दिव्या चौधरी). I feel the question is a little immature. Now you may ask me why? Durga Puja and Attacks and atrocities on women are two different things, unrelated to each other.Let us delve a little deeper into what is happening around us and understand why attacks and atrocities are rising in our society. Well you may all agree that it is more so in India! Because of the deep rooted gender bias which exists even today.You see: men will treat women equal if they want them to earn, but cannot digest lending a 50% hand in kitchen and house work. This would be ridiculous for them. If some men were asked: Can you cook for a day? Most of them would answer: Are you mad? Why should I? Is  something wrong wrong with you? Most of the times: Women are considered as toys to be played with, and enjoyed, whether the woman is in the mood or not ...... Beyond that men are sadistic, they enjoy the pain felt by the women! So molestation and rape are normal for many. The women is considered as dirt of the feet. Unfortunately we are  also living in  the same country and same geography. So here is what  I do:  I encourage and motivate female to stand up for their rights and take the own decisions to lead a happier life. I mentor the female gender when in stress and depression,  since they have a lot of workload as compared to their male counterparts.I am doing my bit to inspire and empower the female genders to stand up for what they think is right. What about you?

Why aren't there anymore woodstock festivals?

Woodstock '94, is often called "commercial Woodstock" or "Mudstock" it had nothing to do with peace love or understanding and Woodstock '99 is remembered for media reports of violence, rape, fires and an abrupt ending of the show. It is doubtful any location would be willing to host another one although the organizers seemed hopeful for another chance.

""I'm bummed big time," promoter John Scher said this morning. "I don't know if we'll ever know why these kids did this. I really don't think there was a kid out there that wanted there to be mass destruction."

The three-day festival, which drew more than 200,000 at Griffiss Park, a former air base, veered out of control Sunday night as it drew to a close.

By this afternoon, the site reeked of smoke, garbage and human waste. The remains of 12 burned-out refrigeration trailers were lined up a quarter mile from the East Stage. Several of them still smoldered. A line of more than a hundred state trooper cruisers formed a barrier between the concert area and the adjacent campgrounds. No one was allowed to return to the concert site after leaving.

A number of ATMs were battered during the fracas, and as of this afternoon, one bank machine was still missing.

The trouble started before midnight Sunday with several impromptu bonfires lit during the Red Hot Chili Peppers' set. At first, it seemed to be another spontaneous celebration. But soon the fires raged out of control as people removed sections of the "Peace Fence" – erected to keep gate crashers out – and threw them into the flames. "

Woodstock '99. The sun was hot, the beer was cold and the music loud. The kids had been partying night and day, not sleeping. Camping conditions had degenerated into filth.

You know - like Woodstock '69.

But where the crowd at the original festival incurred only a few bad LSD trips and injuries mostly sustained from excessive love-making, Woodstock '99 was one of the biggest debacles in concert history, with 60 concertgoers hospitalized due to violence within their ranks, widespread fires, vandalism and looting costing millions of dollars. MTV News' headline for the story - on air and online - uses the '60s dove-of-peace logo, but reads: "Apocalypse Woodstock."
