Feel the love: Indian christist abuses wife and daughters

The abuse was no doubt motivated by the fundamentals of the "Religion of Love" which is essentially a misogynistic cult that likes to subjugate women
and keep them in a state of oppressed terror - barefoot, pregnant and in the kitchen.

NDTV, of course deliberately chooses NOT to highlight this aspect of the story and will no doubt remove the story from their website with alacrity. Therefore, reproducing the text from NDTV in full. I expect this story to be buried quietly before it attracts too much public attention.

By the way, isn't Maharashtra the state where the christists are building a 20,000 acre "Christian township"? Former Australian cricketer Steve Waugh is championing this "Christian township" and former Chief Minister Vilasrao Deshmukh apparently "gifted" away 20,000 acres to the christists. Wonder if that will be like a SEZ where the law of the land is not applicable. It rather sounds like a colonial outpost of the British/Dutch East India company to me. And it sounds like Christism is now India's state religion, the burden of propagating it being borne by its victims - the Hindu taxpayers.

Would there be any safeguards instituted in order to prevent cases of Child and Women's abuse that the christist godmen (and godwomen) perpetrate so rampantly? Is GOI not guilty of surrendering away the nation's sovereignty in bits and pieces to predatory death cults?

Why does the "Hindu nationalist" BJP choose to keep silent on such blatantly unconstitutional propagation of a particular religion at taxpayers' expense? They don't even have that stealth christist Sudheendra Kulkarni amongst them anymore.


NDTV Correspondent, Wednesday September 30, 2009, Mumbai

Theresa Gomes and her two daughters climb into a car, their eyes vacant. This is the first time they are leaving their house in seven years.

Frances Gomes was convinced that if his daughters left his flat in Vasai, they would be raped. Or "corrupted". So he kept 27-year-old Barbara and 21-year-old Elizabeth locked up with their mother in this Mumbai suburb.

The three women sit with their heads bowed, but say little. Barbara cannot control her neck movements, the result of a severe beating, one of many, by her father. A visit inside their flat shows a fridge with a chain around it. Gomes decided when his family would eat. The windows have huge deadbolts. When he left the house, he'd slam them shut.

That guaranteed that his neighbours had no interaction with his family. All that was known about Gomes was this: That he was unemployed, and that he lived off the money he'd made from selling a flat.

Then, on Tuesday, whispering through a peephole, Theresa managed to catch the attention of a neighbour. A local NGO arrived soon after to Vasai's House of Horrors.

Francis Gomes was beaten up by angry locals. But his family has not asked for any action against him. "They came to us saying that they wanted the NGO to rehabilitate them. But they did not register a complaint against the accused," says Ashok Pawar, a senior officer at the Manickpur Police Station.

Gomes insists he has done nothing wrong. A slight man with silver hair, he dares, "Bring me face-to-face with my wife and ask her then to explain if I mistreated her." He has this to fall back upon: Two months ago, his third daughter managed to escape with the help of another NGO. Her trauma is so deep that she has never asked those who rescued her to go back for her mother and sisters.

U need not fear that they will remove the post.. rather the shameless ELM TV media is showing no shame and ethics by showing the news again and again and with no respect of privacy or dignity of the victims, showing them, showing their faces by focusing their peering cameras on them... it feels disgusting watching these channels...
