For the last 10 - 20 years we've been APING western dress sense in India. I'm not saying western culture because we've not adopted the whole western culture but only a selected part of it especially related to dressing.
Joota Japani Patloon Englistani Topi Roosi Fir bhi dil hai Hindustani remember?
This aping of short and scanty dressing exposing much of the body generates Desire among everybody around. I'm not saying that only women dress scantily and that men have uncontrollable desires. It works equally well the other way around also. Why, don't we remember half naked salman khan? How many women still are mad about him. And don't men try to follow his (and such other's )dress sense only to please women.
In the western world this desire finds vent in the form of free sex. There is absolutely no restrictions on anybody from having sex with anybody, anytime and anywhere. This concept of "free world" is absent in India. Thus the desire generated is Suppressed. This pent up desire shows up as forceful sex. When this forceful sex occurs between two individuals and one of them feels misused, it is termed RAPE.
The solution to this? Well there are three possible solutions to this situation. The problem is some of the solutions are CAN'T DO and others are WON'T DO.
One solution could be To dress reasonably so as to reflect our culture and show in our dress what we mean in our mind. This is a Won't do solution. Do we have no freedom to dress however we like, people especially women's rights organisations ask. What is being said is that every dressing style has its consequences. If you choose dressing one way you should be ready to face the resultant consequences. Not that they will occur 100% but chances are more.
Another solution could be to adopt the western concept of free sex and do away with the restrictions or taboo around sex. This is a can't do solution, what will happen to Indian Culture people love asking as if it's not already happening around us.
And finally we could have or develop more self control and not behave like a computer program (if view scantily dressed person; then uncontrolled desire => sex(even rape ); view++)
India has always been a country of people of higher understanding with amazing ability to control one's senses even against extremes like severe cold excessive heat even fire. control of sexual desires for such people is no big deal at all. This is definitely a WON'T DO solution. Why you may ask, it seems the most logical one. If everybody was a Gentleman then we wouldn't need a Policeman. Seeing as it is that there are many policemen around we can conclude that there aren't many Gentlemen around.
The problem of this solution seems to be one of will, seeing as it is that most of the solutions are WON'T DO. Lack of this will results in what we are seeing around us. One has to will to dare to do something even if one goes wrong. One can always correct oneself. But if lacks the courage to act then future is doomed.
I personally feel (much against my wish, my preference would be option three ) India will move towards 2nd solution in the near future, a complete adoption of western culture (and a future "revival of Indian Culture", why let go of it in the first place?). Signs of this adoption are visible already within our society. What with live in relations, friends with benefits, social gatherings, chocolates, pizzas and coke for celebrations. A complete antithesis of Indian Culture.
What will finally happen we have to wait and see. As of now there are only more and more rape news. What kind of environment are we to bring up our children in?
