Since globalization, our country has progressed a lot. Common man's economic condition has improved considerably. This has contributed to betterment of Indian women too. The Indian woman today is more educated, better employed in many cases and hence is more assertive. But what has happened to Indian man? Is he accepting the changed status of women? I don't think so.
The Indian man still expects his wife to be "karyeshu dasi,...". He is still over protective about the women of his family. And worse of all, he still thinks, if any woman in his family, puts a blot in the family name, (according to his view at least), he goes to any length to punish her for such her crime!
Today's Times of India carried a story of a 22 year old woman from Pavagada taluk of Tumkur. She is separated from her husband. And because he is having an affair with another youth, her sister's husband, took her to field, stripped her , slashed her throat and doused her with petrol and set her on fire. She ran and ran. Police brought her to hospital and then she was shifted to Victoria hospital in Bangalore. She is having 50% burn injuries and has 50-50 chance of survival.
The Indian are not able to accept the changed India and changed women and turning violent.
