I had been watching and reading about rapes in moving cars in Delhi so frequently that now i have lost count of them.Latest case is the gang rape of a medical college student in a bus by its driver,his brother,cleaner and 3 others who are all arrested now and being tried in court.There is a public outrage over the incident and demand for a death penalty or castration or chemical castration of all the 6 guilty persons.why this anger by delhi students was not expressed when two manipur post graduate students were raped in a moving car in Delhi and then thrown out of the car mecilessly?Is it so that the girls of north east such as nagaland,manipur,assam etc are not equal to average middle class girls of Delhi.

Another factor which is working against middle class girls in delhi is the animal like status of working class people.Some time back during trial and investigation of Arushi talwar murder it was very much evident.Three nepali workers of dentist parents of Arushi were implicated by group of doctors of delhi, and these innocent workers were given third degree treatment by CBI officers so that they admit murder and the needle of suspicion on the parents of the girl is removed.In delhi household workers are treated like animals and quite often beaten physically.When human beings are treated like animals in capital of India,Delhi, then the reactions of these underdogs should not surprise us.

Third factor which is responsible for recuurrence of sexual assault on females is the male domination of our society and money plays an important role here.Earning money in lesser educated families is the responsibility of male offspring and he need not be educated.So in case of families owning kirana stores,general stores,medical stores,the male children are natural heirs and ownners of family buisiness and become money earners and moneyed persons even before adulthood.The girls in these families are not that fortunate and they have to fend for themselves,so they concentrate on their education and often do better than their brothers in their studies.But their position in their family remains weak due to money factor and even though better educated than their brothers,they are looked down by family and the reason is just because they are girls.they do’nt have the freedom which their brothers enjoy.

A lot of introspection is required in Indian society,apart from protesting against police,government,criminal elements etc.Why still male child is preferred in Delhi and other northern states?Why literacy rate is 50% or lesser in northern states of India?Why dowry is still a dominant practice in Delhi and most of other states in India?These are the issues which were raised by our leaders long back but why we have not been able to eliminate them from Indian society?We have to address these issues to ourselves and find solutions,otherwise Delhi will remain a rape capital of India.
