Delhi Diary 12 - The Rape Capital

Delhi continues to guard its coveted award of Rape Capital. It has left all the others far far behind.
So what could be the reason for such astounding consistency? Are the Delhi men born this way or does Delhi do something to them?
Why do people avoid committing crimes?
Because they are afraid of the repercussions.
In Delhi, they are not afraid. They know they will not be harmed. A few months in jail is no big deal of them anyway.
So why are the so called lawmakers not looking at this dastardly act a little more severely?
Because they feel it is not a crime that deserves all that seriousness?
Women are told to take care of their clothes, watch where they are going, when they are going and with whom they are spending time.
But what about those who prey upon them? For a little fun?
Don't they have anything to learn at all? Or do we club all of them as perverts and depraved?

It is the outrage of the society that will now lead to any answer, The women can't burn their degrees and sit in hone because it is becoming a rape capital. The need of the hour is instead of raping or standing as a onlooker of eve teasing and molestation they stand for the women and help them in fighting. Women are not weaklings if they can bear pain of childbirth then they can bear any pain but even a a smart and brave king like Ram needed an army to defeat Ravan.
