Table Of Contents

JAW DROPPING ENLIGHTENMENT

Some of India's less progressive minds tackle
the problem of rape

"It is sometimes right and sometimes wrong." -
Babulal Gaur, Home Minister Madhya Pradesh
"Boys will be boys, they make mistakes... Will you hang them for rape?" -
Mulayam Singh Yadav, Samajwadi Party chief
"An alleged rape of a lady who moves with strangers for days together, even beyond middle of the night, is to be treated on a different footing." -
Shantaram Naik, Congress member of parliament
"I support death penalty for the Delhi rapists, but there should also be a law that women should not wear less clothes and roam around with boys who are not their relatives. What is the need for roaming at night with men who are not relatives? This should be stopped." -
Abu Asim Azmi, president Samajwadi Party for state of Maharashtra
"Just because India achieved freedom at midnight does not mean that women can venture out after dark." -
Botsa Satyanarayan, INC legislature from state assembly of Andhra Pradesh
"Rapes take place also because of a woman's clothes, her behavior and her presence at inappropriate places." -
Asha Mirje, Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader and a member of the Maharashtra Women's Commission
"I'm asking whether couples should be allowed to kiss in public... On the one hand you want to have a promiscuous culture and on the other hand you want a safe and secure environment for the people." -
Satyapal Singh, Mumbai police commissioner at the time of comment
"Be careful about how you dress... Aping the west blindly is eroding our culture and causing such crimes to happen." -
Mamta Sharma, chairwoman of the National Commission of Women (NCW)
"The rape of grown-up girls and women might be understandable, but if someone does this to an infant, it is a heinous crime and the offenders should be hanged." -
Ramesh Bais, BJP member of parliament
"When a group of men intend to rape, they will do it... Had the girl simply surrendered when surrounded by six men, she would not have lost her intestine(s). Why was she out with her boyfriend at 10 pm?" -
Dr. Anita Shukla, scientist at Rajmata Vijayaraje Scindia Krishi Vishwa Vidyalaya, an agricultural university
"She should have taken God's name and could have held the hand of one of the men and said 'I consider you as my brother', and should have said to the other two 'Brother, I am helpless, you are my brother, my religious brother.'" -
Asaram Bapu, self-proclaimed "godman" also on trial for sexual exploitation
"To my understanding, consumption of fast food contributes to such incidents. Chowmein leads to hormonal imbalance evoking an urge to indulge in such acts." -
Jitendar Chattar, leader of a Khap Panchayat (local council) in Haryana
"Why do housewives and school going girls need mobiles? It encourages them to make futile small talk and get connected with people outside their homes." -
Rajpal Saini, BSP member of parliament
"I have not seen a single incident or example of rape with a respected lady." -
Manohar Lal Sharma, defense lawyer in Delhi Dec 16, 2012 gang rape case
"Obviously, the fault is the girl's. Why did she have to go to that isolated area... Also, she was wearing skimpy clothes... Her body was uncovered. How could he control himself?" -
Chandbibi Sheikh, mother of one of the rapists in the 2013 Mumbai mill gang rape
"If my daughter was having premarital sex and moving around at night with her boyfriend, I would have burnt her alive. I would not have let this situation happen. All parents should adopt such an attitude." -
A P Singh, defense lawyer in Delhi Dec 16, 2012 gang rape case
"A husband and wife are involved in a contract under which the husband has said that you should take care of my house and I will take care of all your needs, I will keep you safe. So, the husband follows the contract terms. Till the time the wife follows the contract, the husband stays with her. If the wife violates the contract he can disown her." -
Mohan Bhagwat, chief of right-wing organisation Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh
"Only when Sitaji crossed the Lakshman rekha, she was kidnapped by Ravan. If Sitaji (woman) crosses the Lakshman rekha, then 'Sitaharan' (crime against them) is bound to take place as Ravans are out there." -
Kailash Vijayvargiya, cabinet minister for the BJP in Madhya Pradesh
"Some women, wearing lipstick and powder, have taken to streets in Mumbai and are abusing politicians, thus spreading dissatisfaction against democracy." -
Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi, BJP vice-president
"Those who are coming in the name of students in the rallies, sundori, sundori mahila (beautiful women), are highly dented and painted... I have grave doubts whether they're students, because women of that age are generally not students." -
Abhijit Mukherjee, Congress Party member of parliament and son of Indian President Pranab Mukherjee

The tyranny of tradition

"What drives otherwise-decent people to suffocate or drown newborn girls? Simply put, girls are often an unbearable burden. The practice of giving dowry for marriage is entrenched in all strata of society, and dowry demands can financially cripple poor families. In some parts of India, ancient property laws mean that only sons can inherit land. Through this cultural lens, sons are inevitably viewed as a form of family insurance. Sex-determination techniques mean that parents don't even need to wait for their girls to be born before killing them." (The Lancet 2/2011).

"Nirbhaya" is one of the many nicknames given to the Dec 16 rape victim as it's illegal to publicise a rape victim's real name. Other nicknames were, Damini (lightning), Jagruti (awareness), Amanat (treasure).

The tyranny of tradition

"In countries like India, female infanticide is perpetuated by a fierce social pressure that favours boys. But what drives otherwise-decent people to suffocate or drown newborn girls? Simply put, girls are often an unbearable burden."
(The Lancet 2/2011)

Read The Lancet study

Women in India are routinely asked to give their husband or father's name on forms and applications - whether it be official tax forms, bank applications, a doctor's office registration, even resident association membership forms - underlining the inference that women are not individuals of equal status to men, but the possession or wards of men.

CRADLE TO GRAVE

Many Indian women are trapped in the
dark ages

"It's a miracle a woman survives in India. Even before she is born, she is at risk of being aborted. As a child, she faces abuse, rape and early marriage and even when she marries, she is killed for dowry. If she survives all of this, as a widow she is discriminated against and given no rights over inheritance or property." Read more
