A lot of countries imprison sexual offenders. Some countries even proclaim a death penalty for rape. Not India. They fuss and create a spectacle of an incident through the media, but in the end, they run free. After the Delhi gang rape, the Indian Government passed an ordinance in which a death penalty is applied only when the rape leads to the death of the victim of persistent vegetative state. Wow. So basically they're measuring the intensity of the damage done. It's not something that can be measured! Either way, it's still horrific and traumatic.
Only a few sexual assaults are reported. How many unknown, unreported incidents? They happen every day. In not only India, but other countries. Quite a few counties take extreme measures against rape. India has begun framing laws only now. Really? REALLY? Even if the required laws are frame(if ever), it is the job of the offenders to get their perverted thoughts in line. I think what India is really afraid of is that once they declare a death penalty for rape, the population of India will decrease considerably. That wouldn't be that bad after all. Just saying.
P.S. The above words may be a little harsh, but that is my opinion and life is harsh.
Update from Sam: For the record, I don't agree with all of that up there.
