An Indian nationalist party handed out tens of thousands of knives and a large quantity of chili powder to women in Mumbai to defend themselves against would-be rapists.The move comes as nationwide outrage following the rape of a 23-year-old student in New Delhi in December last year continues.The Shiv Sena party gave out some 21,000 kitchen knives with three-inch-long blades to women and plan to distribute another 100,000, reported Reuters. The Shiv Sena party, which has been described as “ultra-nationalist,” is allied with India’s main opposition party.“This is a symbolic gesture,” Shiv Sena spokesman Rahul Narvekar told the news agency, saying that the short knives do not fit the country’s definition of a weapon because they are smaller than six inches in length.The small bags of chili powder handed out by the party can be used to throw into the eyes of a potential attacker. “It’s only to pass a signal to eve-teasers, anti-social elements, and perpetrators of crime against women that women are empowered and they can take care of themselves,” Narvekar said.http://www.setyoufreenews.com/2013/01/25/21000-knives-given-out-to-indian-women-to-ward-off-rapists/

  • oh wow, knifes and chilli powder, hmm well statistics show most rape is done by people the woman KNOWS , so i doubt she'd have her knife and chilli ready ;)  anyway nice try. would be great if these methods actually worked!

  • I'm going to take this as an other sign.  Here's my story.

    Yesterday, I went walking the train tracks (hunting for nickles, bottles and cans because I'm flat broke).  I found a rib cage, some bones and fur, a mattress (oddly, directly next to the rib cage OMG) and a CD.  I picked up the CD and found that it is one of my favorites: a collection from "The Kitchens of India" (a promotional CD that was issued with certain food products - I started the collection but supplies ran out, bummer).  Anyway, I brought the CD home and cleaned it up.  Sure enough, it works.  Ever since yesterday, India has been on my mind (and in my Heart, with cares and worries).  I knew that my own situation is pretty bad (which it is) but then I began remembering and thinking about life in India (which I have heard and read is some harrowing).  Also, while pondering in my mind - I heard a message about "Kuwait".  I also read news yesterday from New Zealand - their statistics are reporting badly.

    Sadness of the world's people.  ALL of us.
