The major reason for all the lack of law and order in India is simply this : the police to population ratio is just 130 per 100000 people, well below the minimum police strength of 222 per 100000 people recommended by the UN.
Law and order is needed for healthy progress of the country in all sectors, and this is essentially provided by a good and effective police force.
All developed and progressive nations have a very good police to population ratio. France (356), Germany (298 ),Great Britain( 307 ), U.S.A (256),Spain (511),Belgium(373), Malaysia (370),Singapore(752) are examples.
Good law and order ensures a healthy society and a good background for economic development as well for obvious reasons.
If India aspires to be a developed nation, it should first increase the police to population ratio from its measly 130 at present to at least the UN recommended minimum police strength of 222.
Otherwise all these crimes and protests will keep on happening without any end at sight.

The Indian government need not get tense and worried about the costs of maintaining a 222 strong police to population ratio, as the strong economic development that comes with good law and order will more than compensate for the greater investment in the policing sector.

South African doctor invents female condoms with 'teeth' to fight rape.

"I consulted engineers, gynecologists and psychologists to help in the design and make sure it was safe," she said.
After the trial period, they'll be available for about $2 a piece. She hopes the women will report back to her.
"The ideal situation would be for a woman to wear this when she's going out on some kind of blind date ... or to an area she's not comfortable with," she said.
It is a nasty crime. But dont blame the entire country for the same.
At least here it gets reported. In many western countries less than 25% of the rape cases get reported and with a mere 10% of the culprits getting punished.

If it one person yes a Taser gun might save her, no guarantee there either. Gun will be in the hand bag, To take it out and use it will need two free hands in a situation when an attack is taking place terror takes over action. And if there are more then one attacker just forget it. One needs something different that can be used instantlyB. beside tasser can can trigger a heart attack and the attacker could die where upon the victim will be charged for murder.
tragic for women but "mardanagi" for me. Women, sisters, mothers shud stop treqeting male siblings as special. It gets into their veins that they can get away. Every girl shud be given "Pepper Spray" the moments she reaches puberty. She can use it, there will be 50% reduction in rapes. REDIFF please stop all these mungrels from linking it to Corruption, North Indians or any other thing
