Delhi Slam poetry, a performance platform that brings together slam artists from South Asia and the world, recently released this satirical piece on the bizarre explanations we hear from politicians and other public figures on rape and sexual violence. ‘Why Indian Men Rape?’ is a scathing take on the rape apologists and the misogynist public influencers. “Let rape culture not define Indian culture”, they say. This comes just in time to add momentum to a renewed public shaming campaign by various individuals and organisations making rounds on social media, targeting these very public figures that Prerna addresses in this video. Check this photo album we uploaded on our Facebook page – Shit Victim-Blamers Say.
Here’s Prerna Manian’s satirical guide to the theory of rape and how Indian girls should prevent it. Watch and tell us what you think!

Why do Indian women accuse men falsely of rape? Why do Indian women file false cases of domestic violence? Why do Indian women destroy men’s lives with fake cases of dowry?
78% of rape cases are false.

In short, the LEGAL RAPE PUNISHMENTS in India are still NOT UPTO THE MARK in spite of several attempts to decline it by several revolutions, candle marches etc. There are plenty of unreported cases, but even the reported cases aren’t solved with proper justification in many plights so far.
As if the VICTIMS ARE TO SUFFER IDEALLY RATHER THAN THE CROOKS………..!!!

Indian men rape, the fact is American men rape almost 10 times more (if we are generalizing like that)
Statistics
4 out of 100000 people are raped in India (2013)
28.6 out of 100000 people are raped in USA (2012)
24.6 out of 100000 people are raped in UK(2012)
115 out of 100000 people are raped in South Africa (2012)
Yes rapes are under reported in India (so is it in USA, UK, and SA but lets assume only Indians hide rape). So I am adding 200% increase to that figure.
12 out of 100000 people raped in India actually.
So tell me, who women should be afraid of more? The Indian man or the Firangi in the video (again if we are generalizing and stereotyping like makers of this video)

Another piece of juvenile misandry which makes it look like rape is an ingrained habit among Indian men. Never met an Indian, American or European male who woke up in the morning and said, “I am going to rape somebody today.” Flippant comments and generalisations based on unthinking hatred will not help solve brutal crimes like rape, murder, battery and robbery.
