Agreed. Rape is not just restricted to the Army. But this fact will not wipe away the blotch on the face of the army in Tripura which is committing rape after rape day in and day out unabated which is known for it's honest and selfless deeds for the sake of the country and the people.

I am really amused that you are writing " army...is committing rape after rape day in and day our". I ask were you there? In the US such false allegations against US army is punishable under act. However best of luck to you. I withdraw from this argument.

AFSA is about special power given to army on insurgency hit areas, where there ought to be some power to be given to army to tackle the menance of insurgency. When situation becomes normal then it is withdrawn.

You are entitled to your own opinion. After all this forum is to express the views of the members. Opinions vary. Have a good day.

Again an anecdote on army person's sexual exploit in some area like North East.  The army had employed civil casual labor for construction of roads. One soldier had affair with a female labor.  When her husband came to know, he complained to commanding officer. The commanding officer first scolded the labor- husband of the concerned woman saying-  Vey bad. Your woman spoiled my Jawan.  But the labor insisted that his honor was at stake. Ultimately, the soldier was asked to pay an amount of Rs. 100/- to her husband. The issue subsided for some time.  But one day, a labor said to that husband- "I also want your wife's company. Just take one hundred rupee note.   The man again went to the commanding officer and said- Rsa. 100/- is too less. I'm being ridiculed. Now all want to have my wife for Rs. 100/-   The Commanding officer had to send the guilty soldier away on posting to avoid anger of the local labor employed by army.  

Very interesting anecdote. This reflects the both the humor aspect and the Army's attitude.

What I feel we read too much in such cases especially when even a rare case takes place in armed forces. There are criminals in army too and they should be dealt on case basis. We need not make the whole army stand in the trial chamber amass. That in my view is not fair.

This is not about the entire Indian army. This in particular is about the armed forces stationed in Tripura, which was indulging in many rapes in this region. Of course, had it been a stray case, it would have been a biased case. It is not so unfortunately.

,lets have the data of rapes then in this particular area. I have been there often and not heard such cases.

Except news, there is no other data..
