Reasons for increasing rapes in India

The two main reasons in this regard are:
1. The Mentality: 
The problem lies in the mentality of the patriarchal Indian society wherein a woman is considered inferior to men in the society. It lies in the thought that a man has the right to rule over the body, mind and soul of a woman; that a woman is incomplete without a man. It lies in the thought that a woman dressed "provocatively" wants to be raped. A woman going out to discotheques and pubs, drinking,smoking or going out with a gang of boys is considered to be an easy catch. She is labelled to to be characterless-"A Bad woman" and is considered to be giving an "invitation to rape".The question arised in the male minds is "She is a woman. How can she?". On parallel lines, a man dressed fashionably is cool.He is a dude if he drinks and smokes and has girls swooning around him. How does the society justify this? The mentality that a man must prove his manhood by getting laid with a girl. This patriarchal mentality itself is the main cause of the increasing rape scenario. The root of all causes lies in this cheap mentality. Of course, it is not true for all sectors of the Indian society and cannot be generalised, but it stands true for majority of the cases.
2. Cases reported:
Another major reason is that women have started to speak up. They have started to come forward and report the rape and molestation attempts they have faced with enough guts. It is not that earlier there were lesser rape attempts, but women wouldn't come up and report them. Awareness amongst women in this regard has helped. Moreover, it is the realisation that they have had enough of it. Loopholes still exist in our law making system which as of now does not recognize "marital rape". Once proper laws are employed, more cases are sure to come up.  
Other reasons like lack of proper police security and less severe punishments for rape as per Indian laws are also true and equally saddening.

If we try to implement these in reality it can make a huge difference.
A small effort can bring about a change in drastic which is very crucial in present scenario.
Please do whatever you can to make a safer society for women so that they pace in sleek chivalric certainty.
