take it with a pinch of salt - bollywood is majorly responsible for alarming rape rates in india. all those skimpily clad heroines and item numbers have taken a toll on the indian men's mind. bollywood apes hollywood in dressing up it's heroines but understand that on the streets of london, new york, etc. u will find girls in mini skirts, noodle-strap tops and men will not ogle @ them. u will find bikini-clad girls on the beaches of western countries and nobody cares about it. it is quite normal there. supply-demand equilibrium is maintained. in india everybody knows the plight of a girl in bikinis on the beaches of india. v know the plight of a girl who wears shorts or mini-skirts and walks on the street. there is demand-supply imbalance and hence, men become rapists. bollywood shud be more responsible and clothe it's women well and come out with great stories like mother india, aandhi, etc. and do away with tashan and race.
