my name is ishamael child, do not test my patience of forbearance.

Upon passing
thur astree ofcobblestone and shinning gold I see a river of most magnificent cr
ystal. Tehre i sit upon a throne of thorns, call me as you will, there is no mir
acle abound.
As an Indian, this is fucking disgusting. Several issues at play here Perpetrator - There was apparently a politician that was involved. Just so t
hat we understand clearly, so many of Indian politicians (especially from the ba
ckward areas) are the biggest goons of the area. A politician being involved ess
entially means that the police is out there as his staff and not a protector of
masses
Legal changes: Indian laws till as recent as 2012 were extremely harsh towar
ds rape victims. Read about the Nirbhaya case to understand the magnitude of how
the public lost it and forced sexual violence on the center stage. A lot of wom
en's groups, NGOs, prominent people started to voice their opinions and bring st
ories to the fore. This incident, where an artist helped shed light on a 2 year
old rape, is one such example. This kind of pressure is being felt on the judici
ary as well - 2 finger test finally outlawed, marital rape, not that its the sam
e, but discrimination against homosexuality are all being openly questioned by t
he people of India. This is a HUGE change and gives me hope.
Victim: Indian sexual assault numbers are widely under reported, leading som
e to compare our numbers with those of Scandinavia (fucking stupid, if you ask m
e). Thus, sexual assaults are seen by some as a means of "teaching the unruly on
es a lesson". Even in this case, the woman was asked to not report it and threat
ened with further assaults. This under reporting excludes all the non-gory / "ca
sual" assaults that are not news making.
While there are big changes happening on the legal front, this is largely a soci
al issue, which will only get fixed with overall development.
The solution to the problems of
Patriarchy
Women subjugation
Gender preference
Low degree of reporting of assaults
is just one - GROWTH, GROWTH and GROWTH. As this article says, it won't fix ever
ything, but it will improve things dramatically.
