But how could I forget, India like the rest of Eastern society, never takes rape claims seriously. Just like in Bollywood movies, a young lady reports the crime, but the police will say, you must have insinuated the whole thing!

They will say her clothes were ‘too tight’ or ‘too revealing’ or she was ‘asking for it.’ No offence, but clothing and appearance has nothing to do with it. A rapist will always be a rapist.

Let me take you back to Tharir Square in Cairo, days before the Muslim Brotherhood’s victory of Egypt’s presidential election. Hundreds of innocent women, some wearing burqa’s, were attacked by sexual piranhas, as part of the regime.

Since then, Tharir Square has become a hotbed for organised sexual assaults on Egyptian women. If a lady in a burqa or hijab can be attacked, anyone can – clearly clothing and appearance has nothing to do with it.

Back in India, some parents are too sacred to let their daughters roam the streets alone, day or night. Will this solve anything? No, it will further increase the problem, making sexual assaults on women acceptable.

Parents should teach their sons how to respect women more. But with the rise of porn and sexual activity and the backing of Hindi films, women are displayed as sexual objects – it’s no wonder there’s a surge of sex pests.

Even the music industry has degraded women over the years. Calling them ‘bitches’ and ‘hoes,’ while referring to men as ‘pimps.’ Bhangra also disrespects women with songs like ‘Main Hun Balatkari’ – can you see a pattern? Yep.

Currently, a debate rages across India on whether capital punishment should be awarded to the rapists – but the death penalty will not resolve the problem.

Around one-third of women in the world have been subjected to rape. So how many fathers and sons will we kill across the nation? It’s pointless.

We should make them suffer, and castrate the rapists. Torture them in jail, so India can benchmark these punishments on male rapists, to help end violence against women. What do you think?
