Many people will agree with me in one way or the other that the number of RAPE cases that are increasing in India has made to think every citizen that - Are we living in Hindustan or Rapistan?

Rape in
India is the fourth most common crime against women in India. According to the
National Crime Records Bureau 2013 annual report, 24,923 rape cases were
reported across India in 2012. Out of these, 24,470 were committed by relative
or neighbor; in other words, the victim knew the alleged rapist in 98 per cent
of the cases. According to 2012 statistics, New Delhi has the highest number of
rape-reports among Indian cities, while Jabalpur has the per capita incidence
of reported rapes. Several rape cases in India received widespread media
attention and triggered protests since 2012. This led the Government of India
to reform its penal code for crimes of rape and sexual assault. Compared to
other developed and developing countries, incidence rates of rape per 100,000
people are quite low in India. The National Crime Records Bureau suggests a
rape rate of 2 per 100,000 people. This compares to 8.1 rapes per 100,000
people in Western Europe, 14.7 per 100,000 in Latin America, 40.2 per 100,000
in Southern African region and 28.6 in the United States.
This is all about statistics and figures based on the cases which are register, just think about those cases which are not being registered. We as a youth should think where we want our country to take it, so i would request you to please think twice before teasing, staring or misbehaving with a girl. They are the most wonderful creation of God n we should Love them and respect them not just dominate them by showing a Male Dominant Character. I know many people will say whats wrong in staring a girl or just misbehaving a lil' won't harm any one. I would say in reply that its not about what is the level of disrespect you are giving to a women it shows your attitude towards them.
Just think for a while from a Girl's point of view, how she must be feeling every day of her life being inspected, judged and stared every hour. Where ever she goes all the same the peoples see them in such a way as if they just want to sleep with them or it wont be wrong if i say they get raped visually by every men in the streets. Its not the fault of the girl, its the fault of that women who gave birth to such crappy men and what they have taught them i never understood really.
What we should do?
Here is a great roundup of what men can do to prevent Rape :
Be aware of language : Words are very powerful, especially
when spoken by people with power over others. We live in a society in which
words are often used to put women down, where calling a girl or woman a
"bitch," "freak," "whore," "baby," or
"dog" is common. Such language sends a message that females are less
than fully human. When we see women as inferior, it becomes easier to treat
them with less respect, disregard their rights, and ignore their well-being.
Communicate: Sexual violence often goes hand in hand with
poor communication. Our discomfort with talking honestly and openly about sex
dramatically raises the risk of rape. By learning effective sexual
communication -- stating your desires clearly, listening to your partner, and
asking when the situation is unclear -- men make sex safer for themselves and
others.
Speak up: You will probably never see a rape in progress,
but you will see and hear attitudes and behaviors that degrade women and
promote rape. When your best friend tells a joke about rape, say you don't find
it funny. When you read an article that blames a rape survivor for being
assaulted, write a letter to the editor. When laws are proposed that limit
women's rights, let politicians know that you won't support them. Do anything
but remain silent.
Support survivors of rape: Rape will not be taken seriously
until everyone knows how common it is. In the U.S. alone, more than one million
women and girls are raped each year (Rape in America, 1992). By learning to
sensitively support survivors in their lives, men can help both women and other
men feel safer to speak out about being raped and let the world know how
serious a problem rape is.
Contribute your time and money: Join or donate to an
organization working to prevent violence against women. Rape crisis centers,
domestic violence agencies, and men's anti-rape groups count on donations for
their survival and always need volunteers to share the workload.
Talk with women... about how the risk of being raped affects
their daily lives; about how they want to be supported if it has happened to
them; about what they think men can do to prevent sexual violence. If you're
willing to listen, you can learn a lot from women about the impact of rape and
how to stop it.
Talk with men... about how it feels to be seen as a
potential rapist; about the fact that 10-20% of all males will be sexually
abused in their lifetimes; about whether they know someone who's been raped.
Learn about how sexual violence touches the lives of men and what we can do to
stop it.
Organize : Form your own organization of men focused on
stopping sexual violence. Men's anti-rape groups are becoming more and more
common around the country, especially on college campuses. If you have the time
and the drive, it is a wonderful way to make a difference in your community.
Work against other oppressions : Rape feeds off many other
forms of prejudice -- including racism, homophobia, and religious
discrimination. By speaking out against any beliefs and behaviors, including
rape, that promote one group of people as superior to another and deny other
groups their full humanity, you support everyone's equality.
Don't ever have sex with anyone against their will : No
matter what. Although statistics show most men never rape, the overwhelming
majority of rapists are male. Make a promise to yourself to be a different kind
of man -- one who values equality and whose strength is not used for hurting.
