Mumbai Unsafe for Women? Crime rate in Mumbai increasing?

There has been a rise in crimes against women and senior citizens in Mumbai. In fact, some statistics that say the crimes in Mumbai in 2011 has even surpassed Delhi’s crime records. Women have been attacked on local trains, senior citizens, mainly women, have been murdered. The recent Amboli case where a couple of youths were killed in broad daylight is also a testimony that crime-rate is increasing in Mumbai. Shops and banks have been brazenly robbed. Not to mention, that Mumbai has been increasingly weighed down by bomb blast in 2011.

The crime rate in Mumbai has been on the rise. The latest incident of Keenan and Rueben being brutally killed is yet another instance of how lawless the city has become. The minister of state for home & the police commissioner should hang their heads in shame for not trying to build the confidence of people and women in particular, after this incident.A strong deterent in the form of quick conviction in a fast track court should be ensured by the police by building strong case and providing justice to the families of the victims. if a couple is seen sitting in a park or roaming around the cops start harassing them booking them and extorting money from them, But when these goons harass women no cop is seen in that vicinity these things often happen . It clearly shows that the cops are hand in gloves with these goons.

A woman on the basis of anonymity says, “As a woman it is a routine that we have go to through. Being pinched, touches, bruised and being on the receiving side of lewd comments. , in buses, on train stations. How much will you scream back and how muh will you fight these hooligans?. I once got slapped back when i slapped a man who felt my backside. The others just looked on... Now i'm scared to fight back... What if something even worse happens to me..and strangely this incident happened in front of a police chowky... the only thing i do now is to abuse them and humilate them in public... but they just walk on remorseless...”
Do you think the law and order in Mumbai is going from bad to worse? Is the crime rate in Mumbai increasing more than ever? What are your views, comment on what you feel about the city.

F1 Race in India- Good or Waste of Money?

Famed athlete P.T. Usha has said that the Indian Grand Prix is useless waste of money. Do you agree with her? In fact, PT Usha does not even consider motor or formula 1 racing a sport.

"I feel very bad because such hi-fi business has nothing to do with 99% of Indians. It is a criminal waste (of money). First, Twenty20 cricket spoiled the spirit of Indian sports, and now here comes another avatar which will mostly attract corporate money, who (Corporate) rarely spend for sports promotion. Only God can save the Indian sports," Usha said.

Top Shooter Gagan Narang thinks that Formula 1 racing in Indian should be open to viewing for everyone not just people with lot of money. He said, " "Let's face it that the sport is not for everyone. Only people with money will have the access. It has to be marketed well. I have heard from Indian friends abroad that turning up for Indian GP is more expensive than Singapore GP. That beats the purpose."


Its high time for change in way sports in perceived in India. Commercialization is the way to go. These corporates can pump in huge money in sports which will only enable them to pose as a proper career prospect. These traditional sports person keep cribbing for the lack of sports facility and funding from the government. We all know what our government cannot do in 100 years, our corporates can do in months.

I am pretty sure that if we can get good funding through commercialization, we have enough talent to shine in all possible sporting arenas. F1 is mistaken as a richmen sport it is not,the investments are huge but look at the opportunities it has created in employment,technology and resources,TCS provides services for ferrari,more than 10000 ppl will get jobs at buddh,it will help in tourism,will generate money as its reaches to more than 300 countries,and even the CEO of sauber team(monisha) is an indian origin women,it provides work for engineers n many others,its run with lot of thoughts not something like wht happened with cwc n athletes also found guilty for doping,n its corporates like tata,sahara who are providing facilities for our athletes,if u dont support anything at least dont discourage it,was the money spent on CWC was usefull?
