THE PHILOSOPHY BEHIND THE PRESENT TRAUMA OF RAPE AMONG INDIAN WOMEN

When we think about the societal position of Indian women in the recent years, we must ponder in which era we are living now. We are living in the digital age, or we can say that we are living the era of globalization with flow of digitalization. Now markets and production all over the world. My topic for discussion here is to find out the root cause sex violence in India and the relation between digitalization and the in the increase of unprecedented threat towards women in India; that means how it changes the scenario of traditional rape culture in India (not only India, all over the world)? Frequent rape with brutality is the blazing issue of India in recent time. As a woman I can say like Kabita Srivastava, General Secretary of the People Union of Civil liberty that we are now seeing the worst phase of sexual violence and misogyny. And I think it should also be the hot topic of academic research at present time so that it can help in policy making to reduce rape rate in India. I have used the word “philosophy” in the title of my paper; because, generally common people think that philosophy is an abstract study. It has nothing to do with the burning issues of human society. But without philosophy not any burning issue in human society can be solved. Philosophy is a critical analysis of the problems of human society. It is a form of rational inquiry that involves questioning and challenging established beliefs, customs, and institutions. And it is the high time to analyze critically in deep the issue of the increasing rape rate of women in India “Why the rate of sex-violence and brutality in rape became perilous in recent years? In my paper I want to explain- What is sexual violence? What is the root of sex violence in India? How digitalization fueling the brutal sex crime in the recent time in India. After observing the rape of Nirvaya case in Delhi and the recent rape in Kolkata outraged people expressed their opinion that the perpetrators should be punished. People are demanding Death sentence and hanging as punishment. I want to explain even if it may be necessary under certain situation, can it be the only solution? What would be the nature of sex violence (rape violence) in near future in India (world) if it remains unconstrained? Is it possible to stop rape completely? Is it in the hands of Govt.of India? If it is; how far?
