The remark of Andhra Pradesh DGP, V Dinesh Reddy is highly uncalled for and a mockery of uniform. Such a derogatory remark from the Head of Law & Order maintaining agency is serious breach of social conduct and a portrayal of one’s mindset on the stature of women in the society. How can one possibly blame the victim and appraise the accused?
Chidambaram made a very rational and a sarcastic statement, and earned another admirer. “.......as long as he or she has regards to the occasion, the place and the context. Obviously, you don’t wear a whole lot of clothes to play football or tennis and you don’t wear swimwear and go to a cocktail party”, a statement worth everybody’s respect.
What made the DGP’s remark abstruse was justifying the stand of the police against increase in rape. Police cannot be faulted for rise in rape? What! Who is he fucking with!! And women to be blamed for provoking men with fashionable clothing?. Let me make this clear to the DGP: Rape is definitely not one of the ways in which a woman would want satisfaction, and does he think that all women are sluts?. I am not a lady, but being another human being, I do identify.
Quoting Dinesh Reddy, “Rise in rape cases cannot be attributed to failure of the police. One of the factors (for rape cases) is that the accused are getting provoked as women are getting more fashionable, even in rural areas.......and if one studies the crime pattern....it is one of the factors provoking the accused.”
Just because the rapist blamed the girl while convicted, doesn’t mean the girl lured him with her dress. Why on earth would a woman ever wear a dress just to be raped! It makes no sense.
God has given us intelligence, not instinct, and with it comes conscience. If you are an animal, blaming the woman’s dress makes all the sense. I am with you, dear rapist.
And with his ‘unresearched ’ remark, Dinesh Reddy has marred his image, and career beyond repair.
And I thought the government’s decision (to stall vote) was a blunder...;)
