Cessation of Assaulting Rape in India
Today, India has reached to crescendo from which it is inconceivable to avale. India in the recent past witnessed the emergence of a ‘paradoxical consensus’ over women’s issues in the public sphere. The consensus is in terms of recognizing the social rights of women and the necessity for making surrounding structures like; un-safe cities and inflexible working conditions. This consensus got manifested in many different and unique ways, like; enhanced patrolling on streets and launching a 24×7 helpline for women. Even after these, small girls, women, even widows are not left from being molested and assaulted treacherously.
But this consensus is marred by a dual jeopardy. It’s inconsistent with worsening gender realities of India. Even after changes in the fabric of society, the crimes against women have not palliated. It doesn’t recognize the layered nature of gender reality. Processions against criminal offences or candle-light mourning can definitely deploy awareness, but the question remains that will these make any dent in society in the long run. Therefore it signifies that not only to critique the reasons is responsible for prevalent rape cultures, but to analyze and explain the life of the rape victims after such voracious incidents give a great prior also.
Denarian girls and young women are tortured and black-mailed day after day for closure with unwanted intercourse. Gang rape now a days has become a prime offence. The government of India has constituted several firm laws with stern shaft. According to the IPC Section of India, under 1860, rape has been considered to be an miscreancy. Raper must be punished under section 376, 376AB, 376D, 376DA, 376DB for which raper shall be punished with rigorous imprisonment for either description for a term which shall not be less than 7 years, but which may extend to imprisonment for life, and shall also be liable to fine, besides for raping in gang, the rapers shall be imprisoned for not less than 20 years for penetrating his penis, to any extent, into the vagina, mouth, urethra or anus of a woman or juvenile girl or makes her to do so with him or any other person.
Survivors of rape are more likely to attempt or commit suicide. The association remains, even after controlling for sex, age, education, symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder and the presence of psychiatric disorders. They experience of being raped can lead to suicidal behavior as early as adolescence. They also feel embarrassed to talk about what had happened to them. Rape is especially stigmatizing in cultures with strong customs and taboos regarding sex and sexuality. Many online helpline websites have been designed for women especially juveniles and widows in distress like; Shakti Shalini; Jagori; Sakshi; Nirmal Niketan and many more. Not only these but many films have been casted to deploy awareness against miscreancy like; rape also.
Widespread and systematic rape (e.g., war rape) and (sexual enthrallment) can occur during international crusade. These practices are offences against humanity and war crimes. Rape is also recognized as an element of the crime of genocide when committed with the intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a targeted ethnic group.

I have been writing several omnibus of writings. I started writing creativities at the age of seven. I’ve narrated many dramas, wrote collection and pages of stories, directed and casted dramas in the school life. I have kept this passion aside along with my studies. Recently, few months earlier I narrated many tragic and horror Bengali stories in my official website, channel, WFAMS, in YouTube.
