India currently ranks 3rd worldwide in the number of rape cases. That is when talking about the number of REPORTED Cases. The actual number of cases being 200% more. And the sorry thing is that we have done really great at this. India has held on to this position as far as I can search. Let me try to answer the reason for this disgraceful record.
First of all the simple definition of rape as given by the dictionary : "the unlawful compelling of a woman through physical force or duress to have sexual intercourse" is not sufficient for our court. Most of the cases do not get a hearing in the court in the life time. Of the cases that get attended to also get decided in favor of the accused. Reason being that the court require more evidence than that can ever be produced. The evidence demanded are injury marks on the body of the victim OR marks on the body of the attacker. Most of the time the last two sentences are also joined by AND instead of OR. Ridiculous isn't it? With rules like this how can we ever stop rapes. Getting away with rape cases is a mere cakewalk. There are other instances where the cases are put away b'cos the girl is from a dalit cast and the guy is from an upper cast. And an upper cast will not touch a dalit!!! What shit is that??? With the court itself aiding casteism how can we expect the differences in the country to die away.
Even of the cases where the offender is punished the punishment is only a mere imprisonment of 1-10 years. Most of the time people make it out of the prison within 4 years and little fine. This is how our legislature is encouraging rapes in India.
I hope it is clear by now why India is so high in crime. India needs to make stricter rules.
It has been found that 67% of the rapes in India are by uneducated people. So literacy seems to be way out of this black mark. I hope India soon understands the acuteness of the situation and behaves itself.
