Sir, I only know half of the story but I have good idea of what is to follow A very determined and persistent lover. Unless the girl has already succumbed in any way, I think the she should seek thrid party intervention and help. She can not fight this battle alone and there is every chance that the present state of affairs will ruin her stay in the university and her peace of mind for a very long time to come Devinder Thakur

I would also advise people in such situation to keep all those text messages as a proof for future action.

Reading Natasha’s story in the newspaper, then earlier this year on this website, and again, it shows the urgency of this sort of problem needing to be solved. Natasha, your story actually inspired me to teach other girls to be aware of it. By coincidence, only a few weeks ago, i did a presentation in shakha, and i raised awareness to other girls of this issue. Your plea to raise awarness got me to realise how bad it was. I thank you for not keeping quiet, letting the world hear your story, but also for not keeping it quiet and to let the Hindu Nation slowly die. You made me proud of you, and i am totally confident that you made many other Hindu’s proud to. Your a pride to our Nation. People with your determination to remain Hindu and to continue their culture and brought pride to India. Be proud of what you did Natasha, be proud.

If this issue is connected to, and looked at in conjunction for exaple with the Norta debate going on here, there is then a real need for committees of community organisations to take a more conservative view in their eagerness to allow Muslims into our Garb functions.

Thank you for sharing your story. Hopefully it will open the eyes of our Sikh/Hindu brothers and sisters in this situation. I wish you all the happiness for the future.

Amazing courage Natasha. There are ignorant morons everywhere. The story of how you dealt with your suffering and harrassment is amazing.
