My Detailed Report on Rape Cases in India.
Per day, 85 rape cases occur in India, but many of them go unreported. In the past 12 years, there have been significant protests regarding four cases. A large protest took place in India in 2012 in Delhi after the Nirbhaya case, where a 23-year-old physiotherapy intern was gang-raped and tortured on a moving bus. In 2019, the Hyderabad Doctor case involved a 27-year-old veterinarian who was raped, strangled, and set on fire. In 2020, the Hathras case involved the rape of a 19-year-old Dalit girl.
According to the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB), there were 25,000 reported rape cases in 2012, 39,000 reported in 2016, and more than 31,000 reported rapes in 2022. On average, 85 rape cases are reported each day.
You may feel uncomfortable because most people are indirectly related to these issues. On one hand, Indian women are revered as goddesses, while on the other hand, such rapes occur. The documentary "India's Daughter" suggests that this topic should be included in school curricula so that children can understand the issue of rape from a young age. However, the central government banned it, stating that supporting this documentary would damage India's reputation internationally.

Indira Jaising, a famous human rights lawyer, fights for gender equality. When the accused in the Nirbhaya case were sentenced to death, she made a statement against the death penalty. One minor was involved in the rape case. In 112 countries, the death penalty has been abolished. Kangana Ranaut said she is a rapist sympathizer and called her the mother of a rapist. Instead of arguing with her, she also mentioned that Indira should be in jail with the rapist.
Bilkis Bano's rape case is a tragic incident that occurred during the 2002 Gujarat riots in India. Bilkis Bano, a pregnant woman, was gang-raped and her family members were killed by a mob in Gujarat. Despite the horrific nature of the crimes, the accused were acquitted by a special court in 2017. These rapists were released under political pressure, and Yogi is responsible for this. These rapists were welcomed grandly and fed sweets. It was also said that they are religious Brahmins and that they would not respond or protest against this.
Prajwal Revanna was reported for sexually exploiting more than 2,500 women. As proof, videos were released, but no protests took place. Instead, the central government supported him and asked voters to support him. People were silent; there were no protests.
Gurmeet Ram Rahim was released from prison before the elections. His followers say that rape is a bad thing, but he acknowledged his mistake, so we will vote for whoever Baba says.
Brij Bhushan Singh, Kuldeep Sengar, and the Kathua case rapists were supported and rallied in favor of them. These rapes look like the central government gave them power to rape anyone, and no action took place for a long time. BJP leader Choudhary Lal Singh was supporting the rapists and protesting in their favor. If anyone else did this, their houses would be destroyed with bulldozers. Their religion was blamed because now people have started to see rapes based on religion and caste.
Now let's see how, in different ways, rape cases were supported.
In the Hathras case, Zee News' Sudhir Chaudhary said that the victim had a romantic relationship with the accused. To prove this, he interviewed a villager.
News18 reporter Anamika kept shouting for 45 minutes on the show. There were 104 calls from the victim to the accused's number.
Arnab Goswami said, "This isn’t rape; it’s just a story."
BJP leader Manoharlal Khattar said a similar thing. He stated that in 80–90% of cases, the accused and the victim know each other. When they fight, the girl will file a false rape case.
CM Mamata Banerjee said something similar in the 2022 Nadia rape case, where a 14-year-old child was the victim. The CM stated that the girl had a love affair with the guy. Loving doesn’t mean getting raped. In minor cases, a minor's consent is not recorded. Before this, the age was 16 to legally record a girl's consent, but according to the POCSO law in 2012, the age was changed to 18 years.
In Goa, two minors were raped. BJP leaders and Goa CM Pramod Sawant asked, "Why were the girls out that night?
When a tribal girl was raped in Jharkhand, the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha said the same thing.
The Nirbhaya rapists also said the same thing: that if a girl goes out at night or wears a short dress, she is responsible for her rape.
Akshay Kumar's dialogue about saving the dignity of sex workers and imprisoning Tees Maar Khan is useless.
Some people blame rapes on the fact that women wear short dresses. On 17 August 2022, a district sessions court in Kozhikode, Kerala, stated that the victim's choice to wear a short dress was the reason for the rape.
On February 8, 2012, a BJP leader made a similar statement; later, he was found watching porn in the assembly.
BJP MLA Renukacharya and Mayor Raksha Boriya also gave similar statements on February 10, 2022.
Rape means forcefully committing sexual violence without consent.
No matter how much a person is in love, each other's consent is important.
One thing I will clarify: rape doesn’t happen because girls are out at night; they happen because rapists are out at night.
If someone thinks their children are rapists, don't send them out at night.
