Such things happen during the wars and this is a rarest of rare case. <img alt="Nandini Sardesai" src="http://images.mid-day.com/2012/dec/Nandini-Sardesai.jpg" style="width: 200px; height: 189px;" /> These rapists should be hanged. I am depressed. Women are not a commodity or toy. Yes, women wear modern dresses. This doesn&#39;t mean that they are inviting the men to look at them. Nandini Sardesai, Sociologist This was a very tragic end of a brutal crime. This is even more appalling for Indians who were water canned and lathi charged while protesting for the victim. <img alt="Pooja Bedi" src="http://images.mid-day.com/2012/dec/pooja.jpg" style="width: 200px; height: 217px;" /> The accused should get death penalties and Indians should boycott January 26 celebrations. Pooja Bedi, Actor The struggle has not ended yet and we should come forward at this point of time for the discrimination that we are facing today. We have to stand for it consistently. <img alt="Kiran Moghe" src="http://images.mid-day.com/2012/dec/Kiran-Moghe.jpg" style="width: 200px; height: 197px;" /> The government should realise that it is responsible for the rise in the number of cases of assault on women. Kiran Moghe, AIDWA secretary I am part of this system and I am sorry to say I feel frustrated and dejected at times when I hear about such heinous crimes. <img alt="Priya Dutt" src="http://images.mid-day.com/2012/dec/Priya.jpg" style="width: 200px; height: 154px;" /> I have written to the Chief Minister asking for his serious interventions. Priya Dutt, MP (North Central Mumbai), and Secretary AICC <h1 class="header_style4"> Celeb on twitter</h1> Shah Rukh Khan, Actor <img alt="Shah Rukh Khan" src="http://images.mid-day.com/2012/dec/Shah-Rukh-Khan-com.jpg" style="width: 200px; height: 158px;" /> Rape embodies sexuality as our culture &amp; society has defined it. I&rsquo;m sorry that I&rsquo;m a part of this society Barkha Dutt, Journalist <img alt="Barkha Dutt" src="http://images.mid-day.com/2012/dec/Barkha-Dutt.jpg" style="width: 200px; height: 190px;" /> 5,000 security personnel deployed in and around India Gate to keep protesters away. Will GOI ever deploy as many to keep women safe ? Harit Nagpal, CEO, TATA SKY <img alt="Harit Nagpal" src="http://images.mid-day.com/2012/dec/Harit-Nagpal.jpg" style="width: 200px; height: 166px;" /> Seeking death for six rapists and marching with candles is like trying to cure Bronchitis with Strepsils. Lets not mistake Comfort for Cure! Shobha de, Author <img alt="Shobha De" src="http://images.mid-day.com/2012/dec/Shobha-de.jpg" style="width: 200px; height: 184px;" /> You can snuff out thousands of candles. How do you put out fires lit inside a billion minds and hearts? <h1 class="header_style4"> Politicians</h1> Your voice has been heard. I understand how you feel. I appeal to you to help strengthen our collective resolve to fight the menace of violence against women Sonia Gandhi, Congress president It would be a true homage to her memory, if we are able to channelise these emotions and energies into a constructive course of action Manmohan Singh, Prime Minister Our hearts are burning with grief and shame and this is not the moment for speeches or words, but for deep reflection among ourselves, within ourselves Sheila Dikshit, Delhi Chief Ministeru00a0 <h1 class="header_style4"> Women up in arms</h1> When people react to such issues, the government clamps down on public instead of taking appropriate measures. We, the people, have the right to express our insecurities and ourselves. <img alt="Pooja Bhimani " src="http://images.mid-day.com/2012/dec/Pooja-Bhimani.jpg" style="width: 200px; height: 206px;" /> In case we are having problems, shouldn&rsquo;t we be approaching the government. But it&rsquo;s sad that our government has failed to understand our current needs. Pooja Bhimani, Student The police should subject the rapists to third degree every day because only then they&rsquo;ll understand the pain they had inflicted upon the poor soul.u00a0 <img alt="Mamta Sawhney" src="http://images.mid-day.com/2012/dec/Mamta-Sawhney.jpg" style="width: 200px; height: 203px;" /> It&rsquo;s because of such men that women in country feel unsafe. The girl&rsquo;s family has paid the price for someone else&rsquo;s crime. Mamta Sawhney, Sion resident Those rapists should be castrated and left on the road to die a dog&rsquo;s death. <img alt="Shachi Chawla" src="http://images.mid-day.com/2012/dec/Shachi-Chawla.jpg" style="width: 200px; height: 181px;" /> There is a serious need to educate our children, especially boys, to respect the opposite gender. After police, it&rsquo;s our duty to look after our own safety. Shachi Chawla, Chunabhatti resident Whatever happened to the girl is extremely sad. No one should ever experience what she went through. <img alt="Sonal Sharma" src="http://images.mid-day.com/2012/dec/Sonal-Sharma.jpg" style="width: 200px; height: 159px;" /> Those rapists need to be hanged, but if there is something more brutal than death then I think they deserve that. The government should do something soon so that the girl rests in peace.
