http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg61728.html I have provided evidence as to why the news report, its title and the apparent background and focus of the researchers gives the erroneous impression that only Christian women face endless violence in the Kandhamal region. To bolster the fact that women of all religions in Kandhamal are victims of violence at the hands of criminals let me also provide another recent news report from Times of India regarding trafficking of women. Here is the link: http://www1.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/Orissa-formulates-special-policy-to-combat-women-trafficking-/articleshow/5630103.cms The title of this piece is: "Orissa formulates special policy to combat women trafficking" Here is a pertinent excerpt: QUOTE Data available with the home department said as many as 3,578 women, mostly minor and young girls, remained untraced between 2000 and 2005. Of them, 1,418 were minor girls (12 to 14 years old) and 1,342 young girls (21 to 30 years old). There were also 818 married women in the list and of them the police had rescued 238 married women, 294 young girls and 492 minor girls from different places, the data revealed.
