Rediff may please desist from using such derogatory captions which not only belittle our great country in the eyes of other countries of the world,but also distorts the high image we otherwise have on several other fronts.I may not be mistaken as supporting high incidence of murders if I say that the figures should be seen in relation to the size of the population also.No doubt,crime rate in India could be on an increase due several social & other factors such as poverty,superstitions,laxity n law etc..,but it is very unfair to call the country as "murder capital of the world".It is better to verify the veracity of such figures more than once before flashing such sweeping news which certainly hurt the sentiments of all Indians.Further,relying on figures of 2006 & deducing some thing out of that would amount to only a craze for creation of sensation & cannot be called as good journalism.There are many other fields to cover & high light than the kind of such things.Rediff may also kindly minimise survey based reports which often lack authenticity and appropriateness.Publication of such news would also have a demoralising effect and instil a sense of avoidable fear in the minds of people.After all,all media have some social responsibilties also.They need to be careful & thoughtful about the ramifications by release of such news & so much so with such captions.There are umpteen number of good & useful topics to be covered.Press is a powerful media for moulding public opinion.

MANY OF THESE POOR PEOPLE ARE CONVERTING TO DACOITY, MURDER, RAPE AND EVILS: THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED IN OUR NATION'S HISTORY.
ground-reality, india, today, thanks to congress at the center
i work with the lower class of indians regularly...
a family of 5-6 earns about Rs. 50 to 100 a day, on a good day, that is...
how can they possible serve food, medicina, BASIC STUFF, to 5 people every single day??
u should see their lives:
with no place to call home, they sleep, awake and eat on the streets
with gigantic rise in prices of rice, wheat, vegetables, fruits, oil, BASICALLY EVERYTHING, these families tend to eat less, and usually skip 1 or 2 meals, tending to go with only 1 meal...
but a month back, the families could eat 2-3 meals a day, as they could afford to purchase oil,
rice, wheat, vegetables, oils.
NOW THEY CANNOT.
many are widows, with several little kids to feed.
many are kids, with no mother.
many other kids are there, with no parents at all.
i am not lying...
u dont have to believe me...
just take off on a sunday, and spend a little time with some of the poor u see on your ride to

The pot does not have to strain too hard to tell everyone that it is black.................
Neither will the pot's pretension of surprise that it has become black fool anyone into not believing that it has always been so.............
We need to work on the improve the situation. 1)We have to teach our kids not to have lusty passion on certain items. The kids feel they can live without that. Nowadays good educated people are also contributing to the crimes. 2)We need to spend time with our kids & teach them our ethics & values. 3)We need to correct when we find something wrong. Should not think to keep away as it does not related to you. 4)Lastly very important, we need to strict our laws & revise the salaries of the police force. So, that the corruption & influence in the punishment is ruled out.
This is not at all surprising. We are probably also the world's # 1 in rudeness, law-breaking, traffic violations, spitting and littering in public places, road rage, uncivilised behaviour, indiscipline, poor time management, and anything else you can think of that is the opposite of civility.
We are a nation of not just too many people (with the attendant problems that burgeoning population brings), but too many people who cannot live with each other. It is no exaggeration to suggest that the formation of India as one single country was a forced event. Left to us we will still be Tamilians different from Bengalis different from Biharis different from Maharashtrians different from etc etc, never capable of harmoniously living together.
So what to do?
Nothing. That's the way we are. Face it, deal with it, and live with it.
A fellow 'Indian' (and if you reader are not my religion, caste, state, language, then I hate you!)
P.S. : Tongue in cheek, but sadly mostly true isn't it?

I think your comment is a stark truth that faces us. Very true indeed. Look at the Rediff Discussion Board itself. Most of the time, I find the actual agenda hijacked by the so called advocates of hindu/muslim religions and then they start bashing each other forgetting that it is India which gets bashed up in the process, not hindus/ muslims/ other religions/ other castes. WE NEED TO GROW UP. because united we stand, divided we fall.

Very true sanjeev. I wish every indian posting hate-comments on this site would realise that his comments are not against a Hindu / Muslim, but at its core , against fellow indians.
