"2012 Ends With A Sad Note For Indians" - Sunil Sonkar, Editor: Asia Pacific News

"I am deeply distressed by the unfortunate demise of the 23-year-old girl who passed away early this morning in Singapore. She was a brave and courageous girl who fought till the very last minute for her dignity and her life. She is a true hero and symbolises the best in Indian youth and women." - President of India Shri Pranab Mukherjee

"I want to tell them and the nation that while she may have lost her battle for life, it is up to us all to ensure that her death will not not have been in vain." - Prime Minister of India Manmohan Singh

"The family is shattered by this development. At the same time, they realised that best possible medical attention was given. And in the end it was the scale of injuries that proved too much for the medical attention provided to her." - Indian High Commissioner in Singapore, T C A Raghavan

An utter and horrible shame. My heart goes to this girl and all others who are physically or emotionally harmed. Where is the humanity in people. Why are we so cruel.

Julie (Ca.)

I'm not in favor of the death penalty or life imprisonment or 10 years in prison for the perps; all of those are too nice. I'm in favor of public castration -- in the town square -- for each of these men... by victims of rape. Unfortunately their victim can't do it to them, but other women can.

Prof.Jai Prakash Sharma, Jaipur, India

If the death of this brave girl, the victim of a gang rape, helps change the conditions women have had to endure for centuries in India, and leads to better sensitisation of the criminal justice enforcement system, her death, though unwarranted, would have served a much desired societal cause of gender justice, hitherto denied to the better half of humanity.

    Mr Sonkar, I do feel very devastated about the whole issue and I fully in sync with your inner thoughts and I do hope like all other Indians, that the government, should come out of its slumber and take the utmost strict steps.

    As a woman we also feel insecure after hearing the death of the Delhi gang-rape victim, who breathed her last at the Mount Elizabeth Hospital this morning. Government should take strict steps so that this should not repeat again.

God Did Not Create Universe : Stephen Hawking Theorizes in 'The Grand Design'

By Ethan Markoff LONDON - In his latest book 'The Grand Design', British theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking once again put a question mark on the line of faith, which says the universe is created by God alone. The book is written by Stephen Hawking and US physicist Leonard Mlodinow, who tried to make it clear that "Big Bang" was an undeniable theory of creation. The authors made it several attempts with a new series of theories that denied the role of creator in making the universe. “Because there is a law such as gravity, the universe can and will create itself from nothing. Spontaneous creation is the reason there is something rather than nothing, why the universe exists, why we exist,” Hawking writes. “It is not necessary to invoke God to light the blue touch paper and set the universe going.” Mr. Hawking came under the light of global readers when he propounded a series of new theories in his 1988 book 'A Brief History of Time.

What is Cloud Storage?

So how does this whole cloud backup thing actually work? What exactly is the cloud and why should you be using it to backup your data. Well, the cloud is literally just a network of computers or services that are interconnected and able to share storage and resources. In the simplest form, imagine connecting your computer to someone elses. If the other person wasn't using resources such as processing power or storage space then you could use it. So you'd effectively double your processing and storage space. This in a nutshell is all cloud storage is. The cloud is a fancy name, it's nothing to do with the weather. Think of it as nothing more than a collection of computers sharing resources and you'll be some way to understanding what it is and how you can ultimately utilise it for your own storage and backup requirements. So why should you pay for cloud backup services when there are so many free ones out there? Well, if you think a free solution will work for your n

The Flamboyant "Rawalpindi Express" Chooses Not To Stir Anymore

Shoaib Akhtar From EDITOR's desk It's not an outstanding career but undeniably a fascinating roller coaster ride for 35-year-old Pakistan fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar, best known amongst fans as the "Rawalpindi Express", who has announced to retire from international cricket after the ongoing World Cup. Shoaib Akhtar made his international debut in 1997 and soon became a figure in cricketing world by his record fastest delivery and lethal Yorkers and quick bouncers. He is probably best remembering as a “glamour boy” in Pakistan team who had been always disheveled in some sort of controversy. Despite his effort to be ‘Mr Clean’, he has never been able to brushed off the numerous controversies hovered around him during his cricketing tenure. In the recent disciplinary breach of conduct, Shoaib was fined $2,000 last week for venting his anger at wicketkeeper Kamran Akmal during the match against New Zealand.

India's Own Conservative Incest Story

Incest Story In Haryana Just a few days back India gloriously celebrated its 64th Independence Day but the oxymoron of Indian freedom runs in Indian villages. Nowadays one of the most noted sarcasms is quite in style in national news channels. The noise is quite audible, and annoyance level is also comfortably high. The subject is the most tempting one to mankind – sex. Haryana, a state in India known for flourishing industrialism and affluent farmers, seems living in the medieval period. The self-proclaimed Haryana’s Khaps are the sham ‘kings’ of the villages. Their “moral judgments” can even make shy to the epitomes of immorality. They do all sort of things – to solve personal problems of family, to give judgment of any conflict, and above all their profound knowledge in ancient gotras, caste system etc. is mind-boggling. A recent example is about a law graduate and resident of Karora village Seema whose brother had been killed for marrying a woman from the same gotra. This
