Hathras, Unnao and Nirbhaya: Few of the many

We haven’t actually recuperated from the Hathras rape case and the recent rape and murder of a 9-year-old Dalit young woman, and how the culprits pulled off rape. Presently, criminals are pulling off this is on the grounds that they might be a future asset for the state? Even after a numerous talented women adding to the country, we won’t ever have the option to shake the conviction that men are the future or men are the bed winners. In this country, mottos like “Beti Padao and Beti Bachao” are emphasized so frequently, yet we choose to disregard our women.

Sexual violence: Not a new terminology

It isn’t exceptionally amazing that occurrences of sexual violence have expanded across India and that this increment and abatement is simply a question of truth. The severe truth is that everybody knows about the reality yet everybody is fine with the fact which implies that the outrage among the citizens is extremely less for issues like sexual violence.  Hardly any individual who assemble the fortitude to report such occurrences are regularly disgraced for their direction and brutally hushed by dangers or coerces or both.

With regards to any material development they may create as “assets” later on – and this bears a question mark – should rape accused get the freedom for washing their hands off the shameful deeds they supposedly submit in the present?
