India's Infernal Disgrace

Three small girls, sisters, ages six, nine and eleven. Their bodies were dumped in a well. After they had been raped. These were children of an indigent background, hungry and trusting enough to follow a stranger who promised they would be given food. His lure was irresistible to hungry children and they followed him to their deaths.

This the Indian police now agree occurred; that they were raped, then murdered, and their lifeless bodies discarded. This kind of atrocity happens often in India, and most often to the helpless and the poor who have no recourse of any kind, have no protection, no security, simply vulnerable to the most base abuse imaginable.

What is difficult to imagine is that there might exist grotesquely debauched creatures totally absent any kind of humane feelings for children. Their brutalization as humans has been complete and irreversible. There is nothing whatever that would restrain such psychopathic monsters from destroying the lives of innocent children.

The girls, children of a poor, widowed domestic servant were clearly on their own while their mother worked. They were seen last outside a roadside cafe. Which is likely where they came across someone emerging from the cafe, who saw them and recognized them as victims ripe for atrocity and he prepared to commit it.

Once again India is caught in a culture-guilty agony of outrage. Since the deadly gang-rape of a Delhi student on a bus that caught the public in a paroxysmal rage of outcry against violence against women and children there have been escalating incidents of wild gang-rapes and murders. 

In this instance, villagers in Maharashtra said police failed to act when the children's grandfather reported them missing.

Once the bodies were discovered, and the scenario that had preceded their murders became obvious, the police claimed that the deaths were accidental. This is the deadly, sexist, criminal underbelly of India.

So which is it, then; the police agree the children were abducted, raped and murdered, their bodies discarded like trash. Or an unfortunate 'accident' occurred somehow, to take the lives of three unfortunate little girls.
