I am constantly baffled by how much fury rapes (in India) create in sajha. While it is a huge problem in India more than anywhere else, I feel like we tend to trivialize rapes in general by bringing about issues of nationality and our (the generic our) "hate" for India. Steubenville rape case, Seattle sexual assault ...there are so many other cases happening all around.

I apologize for restarting the "we are no better" argument, but it is an important one, IMO. 

Also, Ashishme, will you tell me how democracy is even remotely related to rapes?
