Sex at any age of any type is sex and non-consensual sex should be termed as rape thus should be treated as a punishable offence.

Dear Babubhai
Your direct points about no CCing and BCC is very well absorbed by our members (and can be dispensed with henceforth).
I fail to see what is wrong with the Bill which seeks to make non-penetrative sex in certain EXCEPTIONAL circumstances NOT a criminal offence. It is a very progressive legislation and must be understood in its historical context of the Indian Penal Code - where even premeditated murder by an 11 year old is not an offence.
I think you have not read the Times of India story contained within your link carefully. I am posting the direct link for your benefit and the benefit of people on this list who only scan your alarmist headlines.

It is also pertinent to mention that in 2011 the Govt (Law Ministry) wanted to retain 16 years as the age for consensual sex. It was some liberals in the National Commission for Protection of Child Rights group that drafted the alternate Bill to decriminalise sexual exploration by two children. and do the gradation of age down to 12 years.
The IAC list is a premier mailing list of India. We are already a premier activist group of the country. It is very important that we get our facts straight and well researched instead of circulating messages on behalf of other people.
Arvind Kejriwal does that, we dont !!
PS: I suppose Congratulations are in order for the people's of Amdavad, Gujarat and Himachal Pradesh

UPA Govt Bill seeks to let 12-yr-olds have non-penetrative sex (http://goo.gl/8KAs4)
It is the Govt that wants to encourage crime against women.
I repeat - It is the Govt that wants to encourage crime against women.
