    Falsely accusing people of rape has become a fashion in India.

    At this rate, men will think 10 times before hiring a woman, for any job!

    Your sick mind needs a drastic repairing .... every day hundreds of rape cases take place India and according to you - it is a fashion of reporting rape case .....
    You would never know the plight of rape victims, don't brush the entire wall with single brush ....
    there may be few cases of false implication, but most of the time it is an act of forceful sex ....

    I too agree with your comment... When it happens in someone's house, we blame/laugh/mock without knowing the depth of their sadness.. But we realise only when it happens in our house or family.... It's like crow keeps on pecking the buffalo sitting on its back.

    If you have that much resentment, doubt, allergy towards ladies, please don't hire any lady for the job. You can save time/money/ tensions/energy more than ten times.. ! Without hiring ladies, you can carry on the work by appointing men without wasting your time on thinking... Otherwise wait till the lady turns to become 40 to be hired😏

    You are right Rathan. Judiciary, Election Commission, CBI and all government departments are sold out. Media is also sold out already. Is there anything new now?
