Rape in India - The difficult reality

Rape in India is one of the most common crimes against women in India. The others are from the same category which involve stripping a woman of her rights and exploiting her - molestation, domestic violence, verbal abuse, conservative mindsets, dowry, child marriage, bride burning and many many more.

According to statistics the most reported rape cases are from :-


  1. Delhi
  2. Madhya Pradesh
  3. Rajasthan
  4. West Bengal
  5. Uttar Pradesh ( Badaun Rape Case happened here)
  6. Maharashtra
  7. Andra Pradesh

Another striking thing about rapes in India is that most rapes are committed by persons known to the victim. This clearly means watch who you become friends with and watch who you interact with when travelling to India.

There are 2 rapes per 100,000 women in India. This is what is very alarming and scary for the women residing in India.Unfortunately, Europe is much higher than this --  8.1 rapes per 100,000 person. 


 As evident the number of rape class is rising and there is no change in the mindset of the Indian Male.
