Majority of the Indian population isn't well educated or cultured enough to respect an individual's boundaries. Well, most of the educated lot again lacks the culture of mutual respect and minding ones own business.
Rapes happen, not because a man or a group of men are lustful. It happens as a show of power, under the excuse of correcting a girl's character, punishing her for being a certain way.  If only Indians had learn't the art of minding ones own business and leaving the others to do whatever they choose to do.

The expression of love, which is done so dramatically in our movies, isn't welcomed by the public in general. The public is again, made of individuals, who will enjoy a dramatic expression of love shown towards them. Now isn't that ironic?

Teens, and youngsters in love, face a tough time in public. They are unwelcome and definitely unsafe. If we need to stop the rapes, we need to accept that every boy and girl, will grow up to be an adult and will find(or at least, try to) love. There is nothing wrong about it. But the Indian crowd does not think so.

Until the society as a whole does not accept that it is someone's right to express love to another person, we will continue to live in a hidden, unspoken draconian culture that silently encourages rapes.

Women will be safe as soon as these love birds are safe, as soon as people start accepting public display of affection as normal and don't greet them with gaping mouths, as soon as the police stops chasing youngsters away from parks. Once these things become normal enough for an average Indian to not feel shocked, we would see cases of rapes reduced by a lot.


Female infanticides have still not stopped, causing a huge gap in gender balance. Dowry has not been abolished from our minds, and men and women equally think of the girl child as a burden. Punjab, Haryana, UP, Andra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu are a few states I know this is still rampant. Before you give examples of your friends and family, collage mates, colleagues who don't believe in dowry and consider their girl child as a boon, please understand that I am talking for the majority.

Our Naari does not have any Shakthi. In fact, she is overburdened. 


Another topic, where I might get some ire, but will go a long way in women empowerment is prostitution:
 

The world has been unable to stop this from happening since the beginning of mankind. So I guess it is time we accept this trade and make it legal. Here are my arguments for it:

1) Illegally run businesses are not traceable, and hence the conditions of women workers are unknown and unquestionable. They have no security.

2) If the establishments are legal, they can be tracked, located, the police will find out easier if the girls have been trafficked, and can work closely to re-rehabilitate the ones that want to get out. 

3) The sexually frustrated male gets a safe heaven to calm his nerves, so the average woman on the roads isnt targeted for his antics.

Is our country is ready for all this? Maybe not. But until we have these in place, lets keep discussing one horrendous rape case after another, as they will keep coming.
