Silence is not the answer

Do headlines like 'Delhi woman abducted and raped by 23 men in Bikaner' no longer horrify us?
Rape after rape, the unnerving details of the brutality meted out to the victims have numbed us. Everyday stories of rape of children, mentally-ill women, women out on the street, women within the safe confines of their homes, women at workplaces, and women anywhere and everywhere have ripped our sensitivity to shreds and thrown us into a desensitised zone where we live exhausted of our own rage.
When the details of the December 16, 2012 gang-rape of the Delhi braveheart emerged, anger had spilled onto the streets. People came out of their homes echoing the same sentiment - rape is not normal and could not be allowed to become a norm in any civilised society.
The deep-rooted misogyny that laid itself bare when the details of the gang-rape were reported shook people's conscience. People across the country rose up against the normalisation of the silence over rapes. In that hour, India saw hope that change was possible.
But numerous incidents since, we have learnt to live with our anger or look the other way - whatever makes us comfortable and allows us to carry on with life as usual.
Protests now have been localised with just neighbours and relatives joining in. When a five-year-old was found raped in April 2013, with candles and plastic bottles mutilating her private parts, the locals protested. Four years and five-surgeries later, Gudiya (as she came to be known) is a forgotten story.
It is, of course, not possible to come out on the streets every time rape is reported, but we must continue to remain angry that rape is a norm and rapists abundant in our country.
The horror of rape and the pervasiveness of it has desensitised us. It has robbed us of our strength to raise our voice to demand change.
But in a country where a woman is raped almost every 15 minutes on an average, silence is not the answer. We must continue to remain enraged over these figures.It is high time to find solutions.

Do You Know About These Brutal RAPE Cases In Indian History That Shocked The Entire Nation.

t's unfortunate that we're writing this article. It's shameful that the history of India is overflowing with records of such RAPE cases. It's saddening, that yet it hasn't come to an end and we are not even close to the full-stop mark. RAPE cases were initially low. In 90's when a RAPE case used to make it to the headlines it grabbed all the necessary attention and provoked people to think, act and be alert. Recently, there has been a stiff rise in numbers of RAPE cases and our sensibility towards such news has drastically fallen which is quite of a natural human tendency.  Well, let's remind few of many daughters of India who have met the frightful fate of being brutally RAPED and question ourselves where are we really heading? PIPILI RAPE CASE, 2011 It took place in Arjungoda village of pipili, Puri district, Odisha. On 29 November 2011 the 19 YO Dalit victim was found in half dead and nude condition from a place near her house. When her family went to fil...

Well he got arrested that day only and after that the case has been going on as usual. Why am I sharing a month’s old incident? It’s because everytime rape happens in our country, People start blaming the dressing sense of women. I just wanted this to be a slap on their mouths. I wanted them to realise that dress doesn’t matter to these monsters out there. I wanted them to know that it’s time we stop blaming the victims and start blaming the rapists. Remember there’s no but in the rape and Society who blames the victim is...
