Why is the rape crisis in rural India passing under the radar?

This – the Jisha case – bears a chilling similarity to the Nirbhaya case, the gang rape of a paramedic student aboard a bus in Delhi in December 2012. But while the latter case received extensive and forceful attention and media coverage, both national and international, Jisha’s rape was followed by an eerie silence.

There is a stark difference in how rapes in the country’s teeming metropolises are investigated and reported compared with those in smaller cities, towns and villages.

According to the National Crime Records Bureau, every day 92 women are raped in India. In 2012, of the 24,923 rapes reported nationwide, 3,035 occurred in the large cities. The number of reported rapes elsewhere in the country was more than seven times higher (despite some cases arguably going unreported) than the number of those reported in the main cities. But the police seem to be selective about what they investigate. Jisha was a Dalit, a caste formerly known as “untouchables”.

The police response to Jisha’s rape and murder was a result of caste, gender bias and the entitlement culture that exists in India. It is striking that such extreme bias occurs in Kerala, a state that has the country’s highest rate of literacy – 94%.

unpard pardelikhe...simple as . Whilst you have hindu mat which downplays women's rights to equal and fair treatment you will continue to have these abuses the fact that most 'higher' caste people have the mentality that no or low caste people have no value as humans , that they are taught if a bahmin kills a low caste person there is less sin accrued then if an animal being killed . Remember this is the heinous crime of murder so why would they give a damn if some girl gets raped or killed?

Guru Nanak's Dev Ji's message has to be propagated across the nation of India to save the people from their own ignorance and manmat
