I can understand the part where these men were not educated about the due legal process - and so not sign any waivers - but I don't think that ought to be the central theme of this story. Or if it is, then it is ridiculous. The point here is that left on their own in a foreign land, Indians - edicated or not - will act and behave the same way as the "shameless" americans. Bottom line - these men, indians or otherwise, should be punished for their intention to commit this hienous crime. And their family members - in this story the sister - should not be even offered a platform to try to justify why they shouldn't be punished. Maybe if she had a family member on the receiveing end, maybe she would be singing another tune - who knows?
