Dehra Dun: Nearly 200 to 150 women are killed every year in India after being tagged as 'witches', a Dehra Dun based NGO has said citing National Crime Bureau statistics.

Jharkhand tops the list with 50-60 witchcraft-related murders every year followed by Andhra Pradesh where the number is around 30, Haryana 25-30 and Orissa 24-28, Rural Litigation and Entitlement Kendra (RLEK) Chairman Avdhash Kaushal claimed.

Jharkhand is not the only state where women are facing barbaric attacks in the name of witchcraft, such incidents are common in Orissa, Chattisgarh, Andhra Pradesh and Haryana, Kaushal said. In past 15 years, more than 2,500 women were killed after being accused of practicing witchcraft, according to a study conducted by RLEK.

Five women were stripped and paraded naked last year in Patharghatia village in Deodhar district of Jharkhand.

In yet another incident, a 40-year old woman was lynched allegedly by her women neighbours at Sikariatand village in Simdega district of the same state, Kushal claimed.

"It is very sad that women are still being killed rampantly after being declared witches. Majority of these incidents are not reported in the media," Kaushal, a recipient of Padam Shri, said.

He said in order to overcome the menace a national legislation was needed.

"We will soon file a writ petition in the court of law to seek a remedy in the form of a new legislation from Parliament on the issue," he said.

Guys have you ever thought of the reason for the communist love for the Kochi metro railway..
I agree with the people that Kochi is the most ideal city of industry in Kerala and most populated too..Now we have metro railways in big metropolitian cities only..even the bangalore metro is under the making only...According to the review, an average of 1 lakh people use the mumbai metro railway project. I dont think Kochi will be having that much rush in the near years...anyways it is always good to have the metro railway for the proper development of the city. Otherwise the city is made to reconsider the design once the metro railway arrives..
Here our LDF government insist of implementing our metro project like the Delhi metro..
Do you the know the speciality of delhi metro??
It was build with public money alone- a collaboration of state and central governments - 50-50 share.. They did it because all rules are different for the capital of INDIA..There is another hidden reason for the delhi love too..The chairman of Delhi Metro project is Dr. E.Sreedharan who is the son of the Mr. EMS itself..
The finance commision head Mr. Aluvalaiya said they have no objection in building metro in private-state government partnership and they will give 20% of the total amount as grant..This is rule followed for all metros like chennai,mumbai,hydrabad etc..
The total estimate of this metro project is about 3000 crore..20% grant means 600 crore..rest is 2400 crore...so 1200 crore the only amount funded by the state government..is this the better idea.
I want you all to refer the situation in BUS management by the government. It is said that there are about 40000 buses in Kerala alone..Almost every bus owner is able to make it profitable and earn their living from it..But our KSRTC is still at a loss without giving student concession or autocratically making routings and timings for their buses.. Think of the situation in Metro railway too...

hi everyone,

in the last few weeks we are seeing a lot of protests against the court by the communist party of India. They say it is against the rights of the people given by the democracy. But I want you to check this statement again
Think of some 'prakshobham' done by the political parties (irrespective of LDF or UDF parties) in the heart of Ernakulam town. Let's take the case of Mr. Pinarayi Vijayan lead 'Kerala Vimojana yathra' I think the mob started to walk by 2 o'clock and it was almost like hartal for the remote town. I was there at M.G road, precisely at ravipuram junction and i have to catch UFO bus at 4.30 from Kaloor. I tried an autorickshaw but he said there is no way reachin Kaloor this time..He said he can let me drop at KSRTC bus stand and he made me to pay a 70 rupees for that journey. I didnt get a bus directly to Kanjirapally from there. So I somehow maintained to reach my home by late night instead of reaching my town by 8.30pm.
What I am saying is that there is much of people whose rights are neglected by these show offs. Even if 1/3 of the people in the town are supporting this show offs there is a 2/3 part whose time are money are wasted for someone's rights. The court was saying about that and that's why the judge told the show off people to do your things outside the road..
Even our congress people said it is against the rights of the people...:-(

There is another reason why communist people like Mr. Jayarajan is opposing the court with indecent words like 'shumban'..According to their manifesto 'courts' are some bureaucratic organization and it have to be let down. That is their hidden agenda to develop a trend in people or atleast in their followers to reject the rulings of the court
