    'If girls look sexy, boys will rape.' Is this what Indian men really believe?

    A shocking series of brutal attacks has led to a national debate on sexual violence. The Observer asked a group of young men in Goa for their views. The talk revealed a disturbing mindset




    "Rape is a big, big problem. It starts with the woman. They drive the man fucking crazy." Papi Gonzales leans back in his chair and surveys the other young Indian men around the table in his beach bar, seeking approval. They nod in agreement, eager to make their own points. "When the girls look sexy and the boys can't control themselves, they are going to rape. It happens," said Robin Shretha, one of the waiters.

    Since a 23-year-old medical student was gang-raped on a bus in Delhi in December and later died in hospital from her injuries, the issue of rape has been hugely prominent in India. Last week headlines were dominated by the gang rape of a Swiss woman on a cycling holiday in Madhya Pradesh. In the same week a British woman leapt from her hotel window in the northern city of Agra at 4am to escape the unwanted attention of the hotel manager, who was trying to get into her room.

    According to government figures, a rape takes place in India every 21 minutes. The number of reported rapes rose by 9% in 2011 to 24,000. Yet conviction rates are falling, down to 26% in 2011.

    ...
    ... confusion about gender roles in a society where economic modernisation is outstripping social attitudes.

    ... women, who need to understand that they should not be out on their own at night. "Our culture is different," said Abhijit Harmalkar. "Girls are not allowed outside after six [pm] because anything can happen – rape, robbery, kidnaps. It is the mentality of some people. They are putting on short and sexy dresses, that's why. Then men cannot control themselves."

    Banaulikar nodded. "I have a sister. If she is out late at night, then I would be worried. After 7pm I would be worried. Men can't control themselves."

    ... would find their views abhorrent. Foreigners thinking of visiting India – particularly young women – will find these views not only repulsive, but dangerous. Though this is a small sample, it is telling that they speak so openly, and it is clearly the case that other young Indian men would express similar thoughts...

    Gang-Rape In India: Teen Victim Kills Herself

    An alleged rape victim dies after swallowing poison in the latest case to shine a light on police handling of sex crimes in India.

    A 17-year-old Indian girl who was allegedly gang-raped killed herself after police pressured her to drop the case and marry one of her attackers, police and a relative said on Thursday.

    It comes as the 23-year-old Indian medical student who was gang-raped on a bus in New Delhi arrived at Singapore's Mount Elizabeth Hospital for further treatment.

    A hospital spokesperson said the patient is in an "extremely critical condition" after the attack on December 16.

    She was transferred overseas for better treatment.

    The latest case, in the Patiala region in the Punjab, has again shone the spotlight on the police's handling of sex crimes.

    One police officer has been sacked and another suspended over their conduct after the assault during the festival of Diwali on November 13, according to officials.

    The teenager was found dead on Wednesday night after swallowing poison.

    Her death came as it emerged that the names, addresses and photographs of convicted rapists will be posted online by police in India to publicly shame them for their crimes.

    Inspector General Paramjit Singh Gill said that the teenager had been "running from pillar to post to get her case registered" but officers failed to open a formal inquiry.

    "One of the officers tried to convince her to withdraw the case," Gill, the police chief for the area, told AFP.

    Before her death, there had been no arrests, although three people were detained on Thursday. Two of them were her alleged male attackers and the third was a suspected woman accomplice.

    The victim's sister told Indian television that the teenager had been urged to either accept cash or marry one of her attackers.

    "The police started pressuring her to either reach a financial settlement with her attackers or marry one of them," her sister told the NDTV network.

    Meanwhile, the Press Trust of India reported that a police officer has been suspended for allegedly refusing to register a rape complaint in the northern state of Chhattisgar.

    The woman and her husband later brought the case to the attention of a more senior officer and a hunt has now been launched for her attacker, an auto rickshaw driver.

    Official figures show that 228,650 of the total 256,329 violent crimes recorded last year in India were against women.

    The real figure is thought to be much higher as so many women are reluctant to report attacks to the police.

    Thanks for all the posts Smallstops and I would agree that Rape is a horrendous problem of the Indian culture which should be dealt with extremely severe measures.
