Stop Violence against Woman. Start Respecting

Every day you will read one or two incidents of violence on women. With prosperity increasing, our ethics reducing(Indirectly Proportional). Indians always treated women with at most respect from ancient times. We believed in Yathra naryastu pujyante ramante tatra dewatah(Meaning: where a woman was worshiped, God lives there). We called every precious thing like country, river and earth as women and respected as mother. Till today, Indians literally worship mother as god.

I recently came across the Chinese guy answer in Quora about Chinese opinion on Indians. He felt odd about Indians do well in academics while being kind of lazy in Chinese Standard. According to him, the Chinese are jealous about us for acquiring all the IT jobs. Towards the close of his response, he wrote Chinese are shocked to great extent about a Delhi Gang Rape case. He wrote he didn't understand why Indians disrespect their woman.(Quora Answer Link)

This Chinese guy incident triggered me to write my points. I had assumed that rape issues affect female foreigner travels to India. I was faulty, it touches on the image of a nation not just tourism.

Let’s introspect why suddenly increase of rape cases in India. We always jump into solution without understanding the problem. First, we need to get clarity about whether a rape case increasing or reporting of rape case increasing. 

If reporting of rape case increased, we can give credit to Media, Courage of Woman and trust in Judiciary. In olden day’s woman not reporting about it as much as now. I guess we can consider Indra and Ahalya case as first rape case. Even though Indra committed sin, Gautama Maharshi curse Ahalya who was innocent. In most of the case woman is the one who got punished or treated poorly then the woman may gradually stopped reporting. In some incidents, People forced rapist to marry that woman in the name of justice.How can it will be justice.

Or 

Rapes are really increasing?

I like to list out probable reasons

1. Nowadays woman wore short clothes which provoke men – Oh really, then how about three rape cases at the end of 2014 in Bangalore schools. Kid under ten year age definitely wears school uniform. They are not college student nor models. As we boys, tie clothe on hand and head, grow long hair, do different hairstyle and wear low waist jeans, its woman wish to wear whatever they like or they comfortable.
2. As per rightists, Woman comes out of the house causing this problem –It’s a really big joke because we have seen a lot of maternal rape cases are reported. Today, women is not safe anywhere starting from home to school, school to public places.
3. Indian youths getting married Late: This allegation makes sense to an extent because earlier days men getting married in very young age so they had a companion before the sexual urge start. Nowadays Indian youth marries an average at 25 years of age because they want to settle before getting married. This is not the lone reason, because we have seen married men involving in rape cases.
4. Lack of Parents monitoring on their Children: Earlier days all children stayed at home till they get married. Now in many cases, children stay away from the parents to study or to earn livelihood, so the bond between parents and children is reduced. Nowadays working parents can’t give concentration on children.
5. Media Effect: I think this is the most important reason. From the movies to serials, advertisements to cricket matches showcasing women as entertainment object. As a slow poison, this may be changed mentality of man towards woman.
6. Exposure to Sex in early age: At last blame it on technology. With the availability of the internet and smartphones, even school kid can watch porn videos.

Solutions for preventing: In my opinion following are the solutions to prevent attack on a woman.

1. Empathy on woman: You read it correct, its empathy not sympathy. Everyone has to understand the difficulty woman face in the present world. Today’s independent woman works from morning to evening both in office and home. Everywhere, she is prone to attack in one or another way, starting from public bus to office, office to home. We need to think about the difficulties of woman by stepping into their shoes. We need to stop causing inconvenience to woman by stopping commenting or staring.
2.  Teaching Kids to respect woman: Parents have to teach kids to respect woman by explaining sacrifice of a woman.
3. Ethics: Aliens are not involved in this attack. This rapists also live in this society. Its collective responsibility of society.
4.  Self-protection: Even though we can’t change the world, we can change ourselves. We have to be careful now.
5. Completing Rape cases trail before people forgetting about incident. Executing punishment as early as possible so it will be warning to others.
