Indian people hold placards as they participate in a candlelight vigil at India Gate in New Delhi, India, Thursday, Dec. 20, 2012, for a woman raped on a bus. The hours-long gang-rape and near-fatal beating of a 23-year-old student on a bus in New Delhi triggered outrage and anger across the country as Indians demanded action from authorities who have long ignored persistent violence and harassment against women. Placard second left reads as, “Stop violence against women.” (AP Photo) INDIA OUT
