Our great nation India has been slowly and steadily turning into a Rape epidemic afflicted country!! The Unnao rape case and the unfoldement of it a horrific reminder of the state of affairs.

A large portion of news coming out of India is about women and children getting raped, gang-raped, killed by mass female infanticide, burnt for dowry or killed after rape in a brutal gory fashion, or lately goats and dogs getting raped even etc etc..Like seriously who in their right mind still feels high and mighty about our so called “sanskaari” culture blah blah blah..that we tell ourselves to judge the rest of the world that wears shorts and bikinis?? There are places in the world where women literally lie down nude on beaches and no rapes or eve teasing even happens.

How are you the “sanskaari” lot then may I ask where women, regardless of whether fully covered or not are attacked rampantly?? The problem then is not the cover but your mentality. Open your eyes and understand the darkness that is drowning this Nation. This religion or that religion is not the problem, it is the darkness and ignorance within the souls and It is the creation of your own medieval mentality and the resistance to evolve and rise above hard-line views across all spectrums.

Its this judgmental attitude passed down through generations that is causing this spiritual downfall. There is an acute failure of spiritual harmony and synergy despite the overload of all the spiritual mumbo jumbo and overzealous religious piety prevalent in all forms. Its ironic that for a population that by and large has got its nose pretty high up in the air about it’s so called value system; Rapes are an epidemic across urban as well as rural India. Time to perhaps reassess your values?? Or may be tweak them a bit to accommodate compassion?? An Upgrage maybe to ungirdled humanism??

Clearly your “sanskaar” and “sabhyata” has compleetely gone down the drain if this shit is so prevalent around you and you can do nothing but protest and protest some more and finally look away because it still goes on. Is this culture?? Who will you blame this on??Who is the scapegoat now?? Bollywood?? Western influence?? Internet?? Modernism??

Its time for each of us to see the truth about yourself and your environment and be willing to take responsibility for your thoughts and actions towards everything and everyone because we are but a reflection of the society we live in and vice versa. Rape, depression, drugs and suicide are killing the youth!! Why this rampant decline in human happiness quotient?? Have we placed moral, religious and societal values above human values then this is the logical end result. Anarchy, pain, suffering and horror!!

Turn back now people into a state of innocence that you were like as children or a time will come when this darkness will consume everybody in one way or another. There is a need to renew the mind and thought process of 1.6 billion people. Internal transformation is urgently needed
