Punishing a culprit is post event; the Indian law is adequate to deal with such cases and our police is also quite capable in framing the charges correctly, including producing the desirable witnesses, and in obtaining judgment.
What is really disturbing is the rise in atrocities against women. What the Indian law can do in preventing such crimes is a debatable issue.
However, I feel that the exposure of female anatomy in the advertisements, showing sex oriented scenes in movies, lack of parental disciplining of young girls, not imposing dress code for girls in educational institutions and young couples romancing openly in parks, beaches, restaurants and public places has contributed to a great extent in this regard.
Lack of moral education is yet another contributor.
Instead of looking at law and police, people must cleanse the society. Only then our sisters can live in this country safely.
