Welcome to India's rape capital

The prejudice against the people of NE is for real. In just a span of about three months, two Northeastern girls have been raped in moving cars in New Delhi. An initial public outrage followed, but not without innuendoes that the victims invited the rape. Such is the prejudice of the people of the rape capital of India against the girls from NE! Each day, these girls are raped mentally by Delhi's perverts. But at the other end, the issue is not just about NE girls. Why can't girls walk in the night? Why can't they wear skimpy clothes if they feel comfortable in them? Why do we find fault with the raped women and wink at the rapists? After writing this article, I have been inundated with calls from strangers who think women should confine themselves in kitchens. Where is the liberty we brag about endlessly? Why can't we just let others live life the way they like?
