Why women should abandon Delhi!



Time Magazine has recently released it's list of the top 10 news stories of 2013 and as a nation we don't fail to surprise, for listed at no. 9 is the Indian Rape Epidemic. If you care to use a dictionary, the word epidemic can roughly be defined as follows: "a widespread occurrence of an infectious disease in a community at a particular time."

I'm sure you can add 2+2 and figure out what the word "Rape Epidemic" would then mean. On one hand this news shows that the only Indian news to get into the top 10 is about Rape. On the other hand if you take one thorough look at the list it isn't all rainbows and unicorns- It's "mostly" filled with war, disasters, whistle-blowing(a good one apparently) and terrorism. So yeah, bad news is usually the more sought after news. It looks like that this international attention should do us good, but it's just fell on deaf years. If this would not have been the year before elections, i'm not sure the government would have done, what it did. So we don't need to go back in time to analyze what's wrong with our country, or specifically Delhi, the rape capital. We can do it here, right now, because nothing much has changed: for what was prevalent back then, still holds true.

Here's a list of reasons why Delhi does not deserve women:

1) The Government

In a recent survey the university of 'common sense' has pointed out that the pre-requisite conditions to rape is a male specie. This research has been further backed up by another individual organization, 'sound judgment'. Meanwhile, closer home, the Government Of India has denied these claims, and blamed the incidence of rape on chowmien. So you better stop eating those spicy sir fry noodles before you end up raping someone.

Chowmien- brings out the rapist in you!


2) The Police

I intend to avoid generalization, but when i speak about rape,i think i will have to generalize. i mean, for every 4 people who de-fame an organization, one ends up doing something good and improving the organization's reputation. But in the case of rape, this just did not happen with the police. There were cases of policemen harassing women when they tried registering an FIR; or incidents where instead of helping the girl, the policeman questioned her morals for leaving her home. But there never was that good policeman who showed humility, or that caring policewomen who made sure that the victim was not molested within the police station itself. So yeah, sorry policemen/policewomen, but you're not in my good books.


3)Ministers Watching Porn in Parliament

I just wanted to use this heading. In five little words, one can explain what's so wrong with this country. Now i have nothing against porn, and i know you have probably got an adult website open in another tab, but people like us, prefer to do this behind close doors. Okay, i know you've probably seen some in places where you shouldn't (read classrooms, offices), but then atleast you're not hypocrite enough to blame chowmein.
But let's go ahead and take a quick look at some of the most inspiring quotes that our politicians were considerate enough to share this year(I make sure i bring the most bizzare ones):


  • Rapes happening because men and women are interacting more freely- our very own "didi", Mamata Banerjee
  • Just because India achieved freedom at midnight does not mean that women can venture out after dark- Botsa Satyanarayana (Andhra Pradesh Congress Chief)
  • I don't feel any hesitation in saying that 90% of the girls want to have sex intentionally but they don't know that they would be gang raped further as they find some lusty and pervasive people in the way ahead- Dharambir (Haryana Congress spokesperson)

    and as always, i leave the best for last:-
  • Poverty and intoxication are the main reasons for rape as well as young people sitting together the wrong way. But also eating chowmein causes a hormonal imbalance which is a big reason for rapes- Jitender Chhataar(Khap Leader)  


The real reason behind rape


4)We, the Delhi-ites

When media sensationalizes an incident we men are ready to stand hours at India gate to protest against the government, but when it comes to offering her the women's seat your shameless ass is occupying, you prefer to sit. We are bunch of hypocrites and the only women we care about are the one's that are blood related.
No, women you won't be spared either. Does it hurt to call 1091 when that young girl is being harassed by local goons? I'm sure it doesn't, but you'd rather walk in the other direction. Grow a spine for yourself, but don't limit it's strength to yourself.


I don't want you to think that the next time it could be your sister/mother. No, i need you to realize that every girl that was raped was equally important.
Until Next Time!

  1. You could have added "Chowmein" to the pie chart too. I think it's one of the primary reasons of rape. :p
