Is rape a cultural in India

February 15, 2013 6:30pm CST
Just now I have heard from a news that one more girl from other country was raped. I don't know why this happened one by one? Is rape a traditional cultural of inidan. From the internet I know that many people call New Delhi "capital of rape". What does the indian goverment do to prevent this happenning again? If you are a girl, do you fear of travelling in Inida alone? Tell me your idea.

To be honest, I would say, it's the toughest time for Indian people. On one side they have a culture which is not free like western countries, that means, you can't even have a girl/boy friend as a teenager, or if you've one, you'll have hard time maintaining the relationship. The society has hell lot of restrictions. But it's been like this or even more restrictive since the beginning, however, the main challenge here is, the media is showing the same content on screen which is showed in western countries. E.g. In western countries, as a kid you see your family members and other people wearing small clothes and that's why when you see the same thing on screen that's not a big deal. Now in India, even in 21st century, not all parents like their daughter to wear a jeans. Can you imagine the effect of the same movie scene on a teenager or adult in India? That's where the problem is, when 24/7 you are shown such explicit scenes, in a country of more than 1 billion, at least a few thousands will be so weak that they will cross the limits and try to quench their needs and that results in something as horrible as rape/child abuse etc. Everyone in this country is expecting the rapist to get punished but nobody wants the actual reason to be eliminated. There is no restriction on this media and because of that, this country is struggling. A few of the ladies are earning money in Bollywood by selling their body and rest of the Indian women are paying for that by their own respect and life. It's sad and I don't see a solution to this in near future..

This is extremely sad and disturbing. Gang rapes.....32 year old man raping and killing a 9 year old....where does it end? What kind of monsters are these that have no value to a human life? Maybe they should go to capital punishment and put fear out there that anyone who see life as no value should forfeit their own. Sorry for the bad attitude but something has got to give there.
