Holy jeezus, and I bet the numbers are actually much worse than reported, since suicide has only now been decriminalized. And if this is the number of suicides that succeed, just imagine how many are attempted?

It’s like a cancer that never ends no matter what in India. I grew up there and then moved here when I was about six years old.

I came from a rural area and every time I went back, the men would undress me with their eyes and look at me like I was some kind of doll standing there for their enjoyment. On each occasion this happened, I was a child, a young child. Same thing happened to my sisters when they went to visit my grandparents. Like why are you staring at 10 year old like that, makes me want to claw their eyes out.

Another time I was walking with my cousin who is a guy , and he’s two years older than me. They looked scandalous at the thought that I was walking with a guy so openly, even if this person was my brother.

One time I was with a old friend and she saw a guy and girl walking holding hands. Everyone stared at then like they were animals at a zoo, and then my friend told that the girl and boy were siblings. You know how crazy that sounds.

Change might be happening but it’s not happening fast enough. I could go on and on about bad things are and I hate.

I've read a lot about "accidental kitchen fires" that kill wives. Wives who's parents can't pay the dowry.

Not to mention all the female infanticide. 63+ MILLION women are "missing" in India. And that article doesn't even mention the straight murder of female babies.

erotic stories of Punjabi wives is an amazing book and it addresses this very issue. I had no idea before I picked it up.
