Silchar, Jan 4: RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat has said that rape was more prevalent in urban areas of India which are influenced by western values and education.
Addressing a gathering in Silchar, in Assam, Mr Bhagwat said, "Such crimes hardly take place in ’Bharat’, but they occur frequently in ’India’."
"You go to villages and forests of the country and there will be no such incidents of gangrape or sex crimes. They are prevalent in some urban belts. Besides new legislation, Indian ethos and attitude towards women should be revisited in the context of ancient Indian values," he said.
Mr Bhagwat’s comments came on a day when the police formally charged five men with the murder and rape of a young medical student in Delhi.
’Amanat’s’ (NOT her real name) assault and death united the country in sorrow, anger and a determination to press for stronger laws to protect women.

Mr.Bhagavat, I hope you are under the influence of ’kick’ and hence defining the subject ’rape’that suits to your mindset.It appears that you have no knowledge about happenings in India or Bharath irrespective of geographical location.Reasons for criminality is not your philosphical order but failure law enforcing authority and set of our rules prevelent since centuries.Your ethics have completely failed as apparent from the governance in Karnataka(BJP) wherein inspite of your people holding the keys,failed miseravly to contain corruption prevelent at every level and deliver good governence. |
