Are short clothes really responsible for Rape in India?

This has been a debate amongst Indians since ever. People would say things like, 'She was wearing short clothes', 'she wasn't aware of surroundings', 'she went out late at night', etc. But is this really a reason, or is it just a way to say, 'We men have done nothing wrong.' It is high time we understand that it is the insatiability of males that is causing the rise in rape cases.

I was watching a video on Youtube today which showed the results of an experiment conducted in Kolkata. They were asking people if the short clothes really are the reason for rape? You would be surprised yourself after seeing it. I was amazed at narrow mindedness of the populace. And not just men but women also were saying the same thing. How can we be blind to such simple things. Men are the real animal here.

Why should we judge a girl by what she wears? Isn't it supposed to be what you like to wear?
People should start asking these questions to themselves before giving out an opinion on what women should wear. It is men who should change their thinking rather that asking women to change their clothes. And even if you say that women should stop wearing short clothes, what length would you suggest that would not invite a rapist. Those rapists who don't even distinguish between a 5yr old and a 50yr old. Would they really spare a girl because she is wearing the right clothes.

Change yourself people before changing others. Don't ask your daughters to start wearing clothes of right size, ask you sons to behave properly.

The Secret of the Nagas (Shiva Trilogy #2)

The Secret of the Nagas by: Amish Tripathi Rating: 4.2/5.0 Today, He is a God. 4000 years ago, He was just a man. The hunt is on. The sinister Naga warrior has killed his friend Brahaspati and now stalks his wife Sati. Shiva, the Tibetan immigrant who is the prophesied destroyer of evil, will not rest till he finds his demonic adversary. His vengeance and the path to evil will lead him to the door of the Nagas, the serpent people. Of that he is certain. The evidence of the malevolent rise of evil is everywhere. A kingdom is dying as it is held to ransom for a miracle drug. A crown prince is murdered. The Vasudevs Shivas philosopher guides betray his unquestioning faith as they take the aid of the dark side. Even the perfect empire, Meluha is riddled with a terrible secret in Maika, the city of births. Unknown to Shiva, a master puppeteer is playing a grand game. In a journey that will take him across the length and breadth of ancient India, Shiva...

Why does human mind despair?

Why do we falter? Why does our heart sometimes feel like losing hope? This is something all of us must have thought at least once in our lifetime. We always intend to do something in a way we planned. And we hope that the plan would be successful. We cling to a positive feeling called 'Hope'. This gives us strength to move forward. We always proceed with a thought that the drama of life, for once, will go as we planned. We do things with the thought of future success. But is it ever the way we think, no, we hope it would be? Some of us have a strong heart. They do not falter. They do not lose hope. They do not have the fear of failure. And so they move with strong conviction. But most of us are afraid to lose hope. We hesitate while making decisions. We have doubts in our minds. Our hearts are weak and we cannot be convicted to one plan and one path. Thus we fail time and again. People with strong heart have attachments to something or someone. These attachm...

World as One

I had a vision some years ago when I was still a teenager. I wanted to witness a day when the whole world would be one. There would be no countries, no boundaries, no import/export taxes, no visas. Everybody will be part of the same Earth. But I guess I was not looking at the reality in that time. I still have a ray of hope that the day I once dreamed of witnessing may really come. But then again, I might be crazy. I may sound childish to you people. But dreams are one thing we can never let go.
