Recently a US national was raped; there was again a case of a gang rape of 32 year old in the month of April and today again we here similar case.

What are plausible reasons of rape in North India Belt?
Of course there has to be some reason why there is a prevalence of rape in the northern belt of India. Caste-related violence targeted at the Dalits and towards lower caste is not uncommon in North India. In north India people from upper caste reinforce the systems of case and patriarchy by raping the women from lower caste and this practice is going on from time immemorial.
Patriarchal norms and gender discrimination are another root cause of gender based violence in north. One of the reasons again why men from northern India indulge in this bestial crime is that they want to vent out their frustration against women who defy the old school norms. Many men feel the complex from those women who participate in labour force or try to become at par with men.
Apart from sexual repression, attack family honor is also the reason is why rapes are prevalent in this area. There was recent case to back this reason. Recently all male Khap panchayat ordered rape as punishment for two women. We wonder how a revolting crime can be a punishment.
