Does India have a problem with false rape claims?....Need GENDER NEUTRAL Laws !!!!!!!

-

{I am Neither Pro Men nor Pro-Women But Strongly Subscribed to GENDER NEUTRALITY }



After the infamous 2012 gang rape of a student on a bus in Delhi, the number of rape cases reported to police in India rose sharply. 
    
But one survey concluded that in Delhi,in 2013-14, more than half of these reports were "false"

Please go through this below Video, you can understand the pain of those Men on whom false allegations are imposed 

 

Menace of false rape cases on the pretext of one or other has been rising since the new amendment in rape law in 2013 in India. The fact is evident from the study of court judgments delivered by the fast track courts constituted across the country including Delhi and news items appearing in the media. There is a need to put an early check on this rising menace which may destroy the fabric of society and misuse of law for various motives.

Sufferings of Accused of False Allegations of Rape:
A trial court described the sufferings of accused of false rape charges even after acquittal in the following words:
“Can the lost honour and dignity of the poor old accused be restored? Can he spend the 'Sanyas Ashram' of his life as peacefully as he would have, had he not been arraigned as accused in this case. Certainly, the memories of this false case, horrible days spent in jail and presence in court during hearings would hound him like a ghost for the remaining part of his life. He would not command that much respect and reverence in his family, which he used to before the present case.” 
I have earlier also observed in one of my judgments that after the infamous gang rape of a medical student in a moving bus in South Delhi on 16.12.2012, the whole nation arose from slumber suddenly for showing anger and outrage towards incidents of rape and demanding stringent punishment for rapists.

Consequences and Sufferings of Accused of False Charges:
In the words of trial judge of Fast Track Court, “These 'victims' of false rape cases cannot be forgotten. A false allegation of rape creates havoc in the life of the accused. His whole future is shattered, his family faces isolation & ridicule and his life destroyed. It is very difficult to come out of the shock, trauma, ridicule and humiliation of having been arraigned in a rape case, even after the acquittal by the court.”

IT DOES NOT MEAN TO DILUTE LAWS......IT ONLY MEANS LAWS SHOULD BE NEUTRAL  SO THAT NO ONE CAN MIS-USE THOSE LAWS WHICH ARE PLACED TO PROTECT REAL VICTIMS

Geopolitics of Indian ocean Region(IOR)

The Indian Ocean has always had a geopolitical significance to the world. There has been a belief that whoever controls the Ocean controls the world. So, a geopolitical presence in the region will mean a race for becoming a superpower. This recognition is not a new phenomenon but exists from time immemorial. Mackinder’s Heartland Theory provides that the Indian Ocean has been a zone of conflict since the end of the Second World War. The conflict was always between the superpower countries of the time. Brief About Indian Ocean      The Indian Ocean, a body of saltwater covering approximately one-fifth of the total ocean area of the world. It is the smallest, geologically youngest, and physically most complex of the world’s three major oceans. It stretches for more than 6,200 miles (10,000 km) between the southern tips of Africa and Australia and, without its marginal seas.        It is bounded by Iran, Pakistan, India, and Bangladesh to the north; the M...
