Your cover story on the rape victims of Muzaffarnagar sent a sick feeling down my gut (Shadow Lines, Aug 4). It is amazing how our electronic media does not even touch stories like these but seek only sensational, eyeball-catching trivia. Nor does the public get moved enough to launch protests. My compliments therefore to your brave correspondent for bringing this to public attention.

Like in Gujarat, the victims of this horrible violence are unlikely to get justice.

The Centre is acting irresponsibly by neglecting and looking the other way!

Unbelievably cruel. And this when so-called secularists and protectors of minorities were in power at the Centre, and the Samajwadi Party is still ruling Uttar Pradesh. How can a government be so inefficient and shameless? There seems to be a complete breakdown of law and order in the state. Only goons seem to be running the villages and towns of UP, irrespective of religion.

That’s a vivid picture you have painted, I respect the facts you chose to present. As someone remarked in response, rapists do not have any religion. That phrase is loaded with meaning I think.

The police and administration in UP are casteist, these incidents do not happen out of the blue. And to think Outlook was at the forefront of those fawning over the young chief minister and his neta papa.

Is Outlook reporting from a war zone or what? Even enemy soldiers would not stoop so low!
