Sexual violence against women with special reference to rape victimization and judicial approach in India

Description

The oriental tradition of India preaches "MAITRI DEVO BHAVA " which means worship thy mother; and women should be honoured with great reverence like goddesses. India has a different and distinct culture and moral values from its western counterparts. The history of Sociology has however established that "FORTITUDE THY NAME IS WOMEN; SELF- SACRIFICE THY NAME IS TENACITY AND SUCCESSFUL PURSUIT, THY NAME IS WOMEN" History attests that man has subjected women to his will, used her as a means to promote his self-gratification, to minstrel to his sensual pleasure, as an instrument in promoting his comfort, but never he has desired to elevate her to that rank which she was created to occupy. He has done all he could, to debase and enslave her mind and now he look triumphantly at the ruin he has brought. All women for, is that men should ask our brethren, is that they will take their feet from our neck and permit them to stand upright on that ground which God designed us to occupy.
