Crimes against women
Casual, careless and cool about crimes against women

Three youths blindfold and take turns at raping a 21-year old girl, in broad daylight. After 2 hours of torment, the furious girl, half-naked, tries to chase them, while the onlookers watch. None of those who watch the scene come forward to help or nab the perpetrators.
No, this wasn’t a scene from a movie. This was real. And this incident has now happened within less than a month of another such rape in broad daylight, in the same city, and also in front of a crowd of onlookers who did absolutely nothing but watched in glee.

A 9-year old boy was arrested for raping a 6-year old girl. The boy has now earned the distinction of being the youngest rapist in the country. The boy dragged the girl to the bathroom and later beat her up before raping her. He was out on bail after spending a night in police custody.
Last year, India had about 39,000 registered cases of sexual molestation of women. Those are just the registered cases. I’m sure there is an exceedingly larger number of these that goes on unreported for various reasons. Whether those rapes happen away from anyone’s notice in some dark corner somewhere, or in broad daylight in front of a city full of people, just seems to me that India does not regard rape as a very serious crime. For all we know and care, the judiciary and law enforcement don’t give much of damn, because the public outrage is just non-existent at best. Maybe those who wish to make a big deal of such things are just plain stupid.
