Uncounted times and once more, a whack to a nation which prompt itself a democracy and a place with equal for women. The term-Rape, becomes so usual now a days that many gets skipped; unknown, unnoticed and unread. 

A nation which is victimized of 25000 rapes in 2012, holding a record of; a rape in every 22 minutes (according to Wikipedia reports). These cases are only those which have been reported to authorities or registered in someway. Otherwise I am quite convinced that these figures could have been triple or even more. So, it roughly estimates a rape in every 7 minutes.

Interestingly the graph sloping towards the higher side, sources show that rape cases in India have doubled between 1990 and 2008. Nothing concrete has been done till now to downgrade these numbers by any govt. or constitutional authority. I do not remember (even do not find any evidence) which shows any execution took place in India out of 52 executions, in charges of rape case. Meanwhile politicians like Mulayam Singh Yadav are coming up and saying ''Ladko se galti ho jati hai'', proves that nobody really cares.

I am not agree to those who say that the plight of women was woeful in ancient times. I see that in now a days and envisioning even awful, if required has not done.

Urging you to read this article from Harvard Gazette by Professor Jacqueline Bhabha, director of research for the François-Xavier Bagnoud Center for Health and Human Rights at the Harvard School of Public Health (HSPH). In order to find out probable reasons of RAPES IN INDIA.
