CASELET 2
 In the wake of the recent brutal murder of a young woman in Hyderabad, much of the public discourse on the subject has been confined to outrage, policing, punishment and tougher laws. All this sound and fury suggest that few really want to address the basic flaws in our culture that breed male violence against women.
 Holding up a mirror to ourselves can be a painful exercise as it is safer to vent against the government of the day, lack of law enforcement personnel and unutilised budget allocations for women's safety programmers.
 Deep-rooted social prejudice against women reflects in India's adverse sex ratio, particularly in the age group 0−6. Families prefer boys: female foetus are selectively aborted, infant girls allowed to die. A official campaign of the government has been addressing this most violent form of discrimination against the female sex.
 However, other egregious forms of discrimination that push women to a subordinate role in society and train men to see themselves as entitled to favourable treatment fail to get addressed. Only rigorous democratization of society can bring about sustainable improvement in the conditions of women. The sooner we realise this, the better.
