A RAPE is a RAPE is a RAPE is a RAPE....

Indian Law does not think so. The law discriminates on the basis of age and the gender of the victim and the offender. Younger the victim, higher is the gravity of crime. Younger the offender, more lenient is the punishment. If the victim happens to be a male, the gravity of the crime reduces. Isn’t rape a culpable slaughter of the self-worth and self-esteem of the victim, much more grievous than homicide?

The issue does not seem to move the politicians, media, judiciary or the government. They are all otherwise occupied. The BJP/NDA and the INC/UPA are too busy, lunging at each other's throats in demolishing the three organs of a democratic government, to pay much attention to people's real issues in the country. Their political battle-cries respectively are “Congress Mukt Bharat” and “BJP Mukt Bharat” rather than “Bharat First” or “Disease Mukt Bharat” or “Poverty Mukt Bharat” or “Crime Mukt Bharat.” Media is covertly busy working as architects of networked disinformation. Judiciary is busy defending its own institution and its credibility. The government has gone into hiding to protect itself from the avalanches of vandalism triggered by politicians and the adventurism of the gullible citizens involved in vandalism.   

Even the society does not consider all rapes as rape. Rape of a child by a Maulavi in a Madarasa is apparently of no interest to those who pretend to champion Rapes around the country. However, Hindu-Apologists go berserk if the child happens to be a Muslim and the offender a Hindu. Unlike the West, there are no Muslim-Apologists in India to condone the rape of a Hindu child by a Muslim.
