India, where rape isn’t just a crime, it is a cultural fuck up.

rape is a crime, so is gangrape. But rapists get bail and the political power currently in power, the BJP, will publicly honour them if the victims are non-Hindu. and their leader gets welcomed and honored by world leaders as leader of world's largest democracy.

I said it is a crime. But it is not just a crime it is also a cultural fuck up.

A fuck up of unseen proportions. Near biggest population on earth, all brought up on regressive, sex-negative, sex-repressive environments that tend to blame victims and just close their eyes to any policy level actions that might ameliorate the situation.

What a powerhouse the country was in ancient times; how far it has fallen. Really sad to think about.
