Rape of a nun

The news of a 71-year old Christian nun being gang-raped in eastern West Bengal state is beyond belief. The nun was attacked after a gang of about half a dozen robbers broke into a convent school in eastern West Bengal state and ransacked the premises.

A few days ago, we celebrated International Women's Day. I do not know how much impact it has on us really in terms of reducing violence against women. This terrible incident happened in the state of Mamata Banerjee who is also a woman and she should try everything to ensure the exemplary punishment for the culprits.
