Do you remember Nirbhaya? People were on roads yet what changed? In a country where 90 rapes per day happened in 2022, as a cultural change this country has gotten used to the rapes news.

No offence to anyone, but most people are talking about it because it's a Spanish women, hot topic, matter of ego and blah blah blah. 3 days back 2 teenagers were raped and were found hanging, I didn't hear people talking about it. For this one, people want live updates. Yesterday a 17 years old was raped in a wedding, people are mum about it and so many other cases (people would have skipped subconsciously).

I don't see any revolution happening, not before something extremely gruesome happens again to someone. After the Nirbhaya kaand, similar cases have happened, did you see any protests? (sorry to say this but it's human psychology).

Where I am from, there's a rape case that's been pending since the last 12 year. An innocent man was thrown inside the jail because he was mentally dysfunctional. The real suspects are still roaming free, and have complete immunity because they are under the protection of the temple. Soujanya, remember her name.
