India News: The Rajya Sabha is discussing security for women, not very far from where angry demonstrations are being held in New Delhi to protest against the brutal rape of a five-year-old girl last week.

Leaders from different parties, including Bahujan Samaj Party chief Mayawati, have expressed concern that despite Parliament enacting tougher laws against sexual assault on women recently, incidents of brutal crime have only increased. As the Upper House debates the issue, four minor girls are in hospital in different parts of India; they were raped and subjected to unspeakable violation by their assailants.
