Well the crime itself happens every sadly but the manner in which the crime was brought about and that as punishment for yet another 'criminal' act....i think that only happens in indian areas with tribal councils no? :?
This week’s Anantha Vikadan, a popular Tamil weekly, carries an article which is at once extremely shocking and saddening. I continue to nurse serious grudges against the magazine for succumbing to the substandard tactics of cheap entertainment to survive in the wretched rat race for circulation; but such occasional articles are true to its old, real altruistic tradition of showing concern for social good.
The article is a report, ”Beware! There may be a criminal growing up in your home too!” (“ushaar! UngkaL vIttilum oru kiriminal vaLaRalaam!”)It is explicit with real incidents of adolescent crimes aided and abetted by the callous media-all branches of it- the role of parents, schools, their responsibility for what is happening, verdicts of police, doctors & counselors clearly indicating the prevalent trends and the seriousness of the situation.

PP, while I am not amused by clutching-at-straw magazines desperate to catch the reader's eyeball, there are some positives out of this. It is a typically Indian trait to sweep everything under the carpet and pretend that crimes of a gross or perverse nature do not happen, when the actual truth is that only 10% of such happenings spill out into the open and provoke the community to take collective measures to handle it. Agreed magazines like Outlook/Joo Vi do anything to sell, but some good does happened when they blow the lid. It is far more painful to deal with difficult events individually than when the social consciousness is stirred up.
One of my friends' got his younger brother to talk to dozens and dozens of college first years when the kid was completing school - it was his method of preparing his kid brother's psyche to face the horrific ragging that goes on in his hometown colleges...basically he just wanted to get the kid into a mindset that isnt stung or shocked by grim reality - training up his mind how not to lose focus when confronted by adverse change.
Like what? The following?Quote:

Junior vikatan is awful. Humans commit crime because of ignorance. But the crimes committed by responsible educated people those who run magazines like JV should be "unforgiven",. The way JV giving attractive vulgar titles and explaining thess stories in a filthy manner is worse than those days dinathanthi's articles. That is nothing but doing "you know what" for money!
The interesting part is that the older sister of the "JV", AV is a real "paththini"- never publish anything taboo. It is a joke if JV justifies that it cares about the society and trying to straighten out people by sharing these incidents in an "attractive manner"! 8)
It is a common misconception among parents/teachers tat adolescents who go astray & indulge in such unwanted pursuits r definitely 'back-benchers' who're uninterested/lagging behind in studies etc. whereas those who're above-avg. students r always 'good'......but from my experience, I find it to be not necessarily so, and infact its more of a stereotyping.....
I rem. coming across even students who were among top-rankers in my class and seldom scored below average.....yet they were very much backward in character/conduct while projecting a 'model student' image in front of parents/teachers! Sumtimes these guys used to actually mix w/ the 'bad' students and join them in their illicit indulgences as well.....! Parents/teachers in our country must not stereotype students based on their marks in exams/ranks in class.
What you say is very correct, lordstanher! Academic performance has nothing to do with the students' behaviour & inclinations & activities.
It not only happens in TN and according to me this is something normal compared to Delhi. Here women cant go out side alone once the sun is set. And even in broad day light. When i was in 1st yr one of my senior was raped by two boys (14,12) inside our college old memorial and the fishy thing was the police booth was just 100 mtrs away from the place of incident.Quote:
