My Comment:  I think that Nancy Pelosi, planned parenthood and the other Liberal pro choice people and Sandra Fluke need to visit the Middle East or at least read the news, and see what the women there are  fighting.  They are fighting for very basic human rights like this, rights to go in public without a male, rights to drive, rights to wear the clothes they want, rights not to be sterlized, not to be raped, beaten and tortured.  And the women in this country say we are attacking them for not giving them free birth control!  And not allowing them to kill the unborn baby.  May God have mercy on us.  Pray for the Women of India and the Middle East.

A woman was beaten to death after a row with neighbours over her daughter’s western clothing turned into a riot.

Keshmal Dubey, 55, was killed after a long-running dispute over her daughter Gunjan’s choice of jeans over traditional Indian clothing descended into mob violence in the city of Aligarh, 90 miles from New Delhi.

Several people were injured in the trouble which started after a neighbour, named Pulwati, repeatedly criticised the 20-year-old college student’s choice of dress.

According to the Times, Aligarh police superintendent Amit Pathak said: ‘The girl’s neighbour would constantly pass comments on the way the girl dressed.

‘On this occasion, she was in jeans and the woman, as usual, started passing comments.

‘A fight ensued which grew ugly when the neighbour got other men to support her.’

The girl’s father, Netrapal Dubey, told India Today that the neighbour had asked him to stop his daughter wearing the jeans because it made her sons stare at the girl.

He said that she warned him that Gunjan was at risk of being sexually harrassed, or ‘Eve-teased’ as it is known in India, by young men.

Mr Dubey claims that a mob of men carrying guns and clubs forced their way into the family home and hit his wife over the head with a rifle butt, killing her and injuring him and his daughter.

The trouble was eventually diffused when fellow neighbours stepped in to halt the violence.

A man and a woman were arrested according to police and face charges of murder and attempted murder.

Police are still trying to identify some of the other people involved.

ELDERLY WOMAN AND HER DAUGHTER-IN-LAW KILLED AFTER NEIGHBOURS ACCUSE THEM OF WITCHCRAFT

An elderly woman and her daughter-in-law were killed after neighbours in their eastern Indian village accused them of practising witchcraft.

The gang, mainly made up of women according to police in Jharkhand, are said to have beat the women, aged 70 and 42, to death.

District police chief Rakesh Bansal said that 19 women from Karonda Jor village have been arrested.

The women were killed on Tuesday night about 85km north of state capital Ranchi, according to the Telegraph.

Violence broke out after villagers decided to fine the pair for practising witchcraft at a village meeting but spent the collected R1,500 on alcohol.

Crimes mainly against women accused of black magic remain a problem in India, particularly in poorer regions.

A year ago a father and his two teenage sons were killed by villagers in the same district.

They were also accused of practising witchcraft.
