印度之所以被lonely planet一類的旅行指南書列入“最不適宜女性居住地區”，不是沒有道理的。
由於印度重男輕女的風氣，在過去十幾年間約有800萬女嬰被墮胎，直到政府嚴格立法才有所緩解。
在“強姦之都”德里，平均每18小時就發生一起性侵案，而這些受害者也往往得不到應有的的正義。以12年轟動一時的公交車輪姦案為例，施暴者乃至不少律師、高官都認為：被強姦是女孩的錯。
在男女不平等的大環境裡，印度很多女人早就習慣了忍氣吞聲，不然能有什麼辦法。然而最近一個印度女人爆發了，並引起了不小的轟動。
A 23-year-old woman from India, is risking the death penalty for poisoning the food at a relative’s housewarming party in an attempt to kill attendees who made fun of her dark completion and cooking skills.
近日，一名來自印度的23歲女子因給他人下毒致死而被判處死刑。
Police claim that 23-year-old Pradnya Survase confessed to mixing snake poison into the dal served to some of the guests at a feast hosted by one of her relatives.
警方稱，23歲的Pradnya Survase供認她在一個親戚舉辦的宴會上將蛇毒摻入了木豆裡，並招待了一些客人。
She was trying to kill her husband and some of her in-laws, who she says had been mocking her dark skin and cooking skills for years.
她計劃下毒殺死她的丈夫和一些親戚，這些人多年來一直在嘲笑她的膚色和廚藝。
做飯給家裡人吃這種事情沒有功勞也有苦勞吧，結果卻還成了大家嘲諷的對象！
Unfortunately, poison doesn’t discriminate, and her assassination attempt put 88 people in the hospital, five of whom eventually lost their lives.
不幸的是，毒藥沒有被人辨別出來，她的計劃最終導致88人中毒住院，其中5人喪生。
Pradnya claims that since her marriage two years ago, she has been insulted regularly for her dark complexion and accused of not being able to cook well.
Pradnya表示結婚兩年以來，她因皮膚黝黑而經常受人侮辱，並被指責做飯難吃。
So when the young woman was asked to serve food at a housewarming party hosted , she knew that all her abusive relatives would be among the 120 expected guests.
所以當這個年輕的女人被邀請在喬遷派對上做飯時，她知道報復的機會來了，因為所有侮辱過她的親友都會來參加這次宴會。
其實一定程度上來講，普特君支持這個女人的做法。有句話講“不在沉默中爆發，就在沉默中死亡”，她只是忍無可忍的爆發了。如果家人不那麼過分，會是這個結果嗎？
She brought the snake poison with her to the feast. However, later in the day, the host, Sarita Mane along with Jyoti Kadam and Ulka Shinde’s kids sat down to eat and she decided to poison them instead.
她帶著蛇毒去參加宴會。Pradnya計劃著可以把丈夫一家一網打盡，但是萬萬沒想到，她還沒來得及做手腳，這幾個人就吃好先撤了。
當天晚些時候，Pradnya突然看到其他的親戚和他們的孩子一同坐上了飯桌，她決定乾脆毒死這些人。
A few hours after eating the food, people started complaining of nausea, vomiting and stomach ache.
在吃完食物幾個小時後，人們開始感到噁心、嘔吐和胃痛。
Three children died soon after being hospitalized, and a three days later another child and a 53-year-old guest also succumbed to the snake poison.
三名兒童在住院後不久死亡。三天後，另一名兒童和一名53歲的客人也因中蛇毒而不幸身亡。
Ironically, Pradnya Survase didn’t manage to kill any of the people she originally targeted.
諷刺地是，Pradnya Survase沒能把她最初鎖定的目標人物都殺光，卻導致了其他人的死傷。
The 23-year-old confessed her crime. The maximum punishment she faces for her crime is the death penalty.
最終，這名23歲的女人主動招認是自己下的毒，等待她的將是最高判罰死刑。
女孩、少女、婦女、老嫗；教育、婚姻、工作、性，對於女性的傷害存在於印度的所有角落，類似的例子可以舉出無數起。所有的這些都不是描黑印度，而是一個真實的印度，這是我們不曾想象的絕望。
所以說做人嘴真的不要太賤，積點口德，語言暴力往往更傷害人，指不定哪天就惹禍上身。你怎麼看待這位女性的做法呢，支持還是反對？歡迎留言說出你的看法。
