An Indian court has sentenced four men to death for the gang rape and murder of a student in the capital Delhi, a case which led to violent protests across India and new laws against rape.
Mukesh Singh, Vinay Sharma, Akshay Thakur and Pawan Gupta were found guilty on all counts earlier this week.
Judge Yogesh Khanna said the case fell in the "rarest of rare category", rejecting pleas for a lighter sentence.
The woman, 23, was attacked on a bus in December and died two weeks later.

India gang rape: Four men sentenced to death

Something like this is very embarrassing for India on the world stage. They had to deal with this severely so more  gang rapes can be stopped. Mostly the people who do this sort of thing are uneducated and in the lower classes that were not allowed or given an education. So, lack of education to some degree is the primary cause of Gang rapes. Another thing people often don't consider is the original cultures of India (not the English Speaking Overlay) are not self disciplined in an English or European or American Way. I have been to India in the 1980s and seen this first hand. At that time one experience I had was not being able to rent a room for my wife and I unless I slapped my wife's face for being uppity according to their customs. As soon as I slapped my wife's face we could get a hotel room not before in the culture we were in then. Holding down women to be something like teenage or younger children culturally is why gang rapes take place by men who want more control of their lives in an overpopulated society where men and women often have no education at all in the lower classes.  Without the death penalty like this there would be no hope of stopping or controlling gang rapes because of the long term class tension in Indian society.

By the way my wife was okay with this because we were traveling then with our children then 10, 12 and 14. Later we explained to the children the cultural problem we were having.
