lNewser) – India is taking a tangible first step to address concerns that its largely male police departments look the other way when it comes to rapes and sexual assaults: It's recruiting women to the force, reports Pakistan Today. Each precinct in New Delhi, where last month's gang rape took place, must add 12 women in the coming months, says the nation's interior minister. Overall, 2,500 female officers will be recruited, reports the Wall Street Journal. (The victim's boyfriend spoke out for the first time yesterday, offering new details and complaining about the response of police and passersby.)

why do people keep saying number one country in the world when half the politicians give a damn about anything but themselves, they lie, mislead and strip the people of their rights with impunity, their arrogance is only superseded by their blissfulness, steeped in self importance.
