How dare ? - Bombay Times
Rape has always and will attract reaction. People usually voice their opinion when it comes to rape. Times has come up with a interesting compilation of statements of what has been told so far by prominent people. All i get to know is that it is not necessary for everyone to share the same opinion in the most worst of crimes. Wavelengths of thinking differ in statements made.
List goes as follow.
Most recent that grabbed the headlines - Insensitive interrogation - 32 year old female from Kerala takes the spotlight by her recent claims - Was interrogated by a policeman by asking which rapist gave you the most pleasure.
My take is common sense dictates when a person reports rape, pleasure is automatically taken out from the equation. Unless it is a guy who got caught doing the act or wrong place wrong time for a guy that at times happens. Pleasure and rape is a new thing that has caught attention in media. On the other end Skeptical that it can be a rape makes the cops to force the question. Rape took place in 2014 and i guess the crime was reported in 2016, sarcasm attached to reporting the crime i guess. Either way it has attracted enough attention and has been deemed to be sexist and insensitive.
Either way interesting Rape statistics of India 24,923 cases registered in 2012 which was the year of Nirbhaya case that grabbed all headlines. People reacted positively inorder to curb such menace. People took out peaceful and violent protests against the government inorder to give strict sentences in crimes dealing with rape. Expecting that crime statistics dealing with rape will spiral down has unfortunately seen a upward trend since 2012. There are 34 K cases reported last year. I guess man is a slave of his desires.. When you are a slave of your desires no matter how strict the punishment is you eventually end up doing it. Plain biology explained in a word that is "BIOFEEDBACK". Man gets aroused easily and develops a impulse that he is not able to control. Impulse is so strong that he looses touch with his senses. Once initiated he tends forget the implications ands proceeds with it. By the time he starts it he realises that it would not make a difference stopping it. Biology in man will always have craving and impulses attached to it. Sometimes the impulse is so strong that it gets the best of you.
Biofeedback is the process of gaining greater awareness of many physiological functions primarily using instruments that provide information on the activity of those same systems, with a goal of being able to manipulate them at will.
List of what prominent people think about it - can give a snapshot of the scenario.
5. 2014, Akhilesh Singh Yadav CM of UP: Confronted on the rising incidents of rape in UP with a female reporter: Reply given You are safe why are you bothered. If you look into it no one is really bothered and they all know what is going on. He is talking of impulse again

List of what prominent people think about it - can give a snapshot of the scenario.
1. 2008, Sheila Dixit: One should not be adventurous being a woman - Otherwise what she meant is Old cliche ‘a woman's place is in the home. Late at night i guess yes. I dont think venturing out at night in the forest all alone is a good idea. Night is the time for nocturnal animals to spread their wings and look for prey which is for both men and women. No one is safe.
2. 2012, Mamata Banerjee: Rising incidents of rape is due to men and women interacting freely with each other. I guess yes may be, not all can be trusted. Lady Gaga during Oscars sings a song on college campus rape. College Campus is where you have the highest interaction - One cohort has similar results based on her comments.
3.2014, Ramsevak Paikra, Home minister of Chattisgarh: Such incidents do not happen deliberately. He is talking about impulse, no one usually plans to rape, Man looses impulse and things just happen most of the times i guess.
4. 2014, Mulayam Singh Yadav former CM of UP: Boys make mistakes and should not be hanged for this. He is citing impulse again. Now the law is that you get hanged, still you dont see cases going down.
5. 2014, Akhilesh Singh Yadav CM of UP: Confronted on the rising incidents of rape in UP with a female reporter: Reply given You are safe why are you bothered. If you look into it no one is really bothered and they all know what is going on. He is talking of impulse again
and indirectly may be criticizing her of not being good looking.
6. Dharamvir Goyat, senior politician from Haryana: No hesitation in saying that 90 percent of girls consensually go with men. They end up meeting criminal minds and become target of the company. Makes absoulute sense only if you hang out with the wrong group. Just as in the movie Pink. I guess Pink got its theme from here.
7. Asaram Bapu, Godman 2013: The victim is as guilty as her rapist. She should have called the culprits brother and begged them to stop. Makes no sense.
8. Vibha Rao, chairperson of a Womens commision in India: Women display their bodies and indulge in various obscene activities. Women are unaware kind of message their actions generate: I guess makes sense only if you encounter a sexual predator and then you are screwed for life. No one really plans for it to happen if it is done by some onw who you dont know.
9. Dinesh Reddy, Andhra top cop: If women dress provocatively then rapes are not in the control of police. The same reasoning as 8.
10. Satyapal Singh, Former Mumbai Police Commisioner: We have to strike a balance. On the one hand you want a promiscuos culture and a safe environment: This has a certain correlation to a statement made by Mohan Bhagwat, politician: When Bharat becomes India with the influence of Western culture these types of incidents happen. I guess may be he is right on Bharati men being sexually frustrated with influence of Western culture. Man looses impulse and is in a Identity crisis. Assumes scantily dressed women are in need, point made in the movie Pink.
11. Manish Sharma, Union Culture Minister, 2016: For their own safety women foreign tourist should not wear short dresses and skirts. He is making reference to the sexually frstrated Bharati men in identity crisis.
12, Sube Singh Samain, Khap Panchayat Haryana: If consensual sex with a 16 year old is not raoe then why cant girls be married at 16. Girls should be married at 16 so they have their husbands to fullfill their sexual needs. This way rapes will not occur. Thinks that only with this manoeuvre he can solve the rape crisis. Ambitious is all i have to say. Same statement resonates with Haryana CM: Child marriage is a solution to rape and other atrocities against women.
13. Jitender Chattar, Haryana Khap Panchayat 2012: Chowmein (Indian - Chinese food) leads to hormonal imbalance evoking an urge to indulge in acts such as rape and sex. Spicy food and rape, I guess he is trying to say things metaphorically. Avoid CHOWMEIN.
I guess all in India have something to say. Many of the times we end up to AGREE TO DISAGREE.
