In the 11th Episode of Shastrartha Pratyasha Rath and Swati Goel Sharma share their views about the Discourse around Sexual Assault and Gender-Based Crimes in India. The Hathras rape case has opened up the usual can of worms with the opposition playing politics and the state government being lackadaisical in their behaviour. The police have many things to answer themselves. In such a vitiated atmosphere the victim and their family are lost. Does such a crazy atmosphere help us solve the problem of Sexual Assault and Gender-Based Crimes in India? Does caste matter in a rape? Does religion matter in a sexual assault? How does one report such crimes? We try to address all these issues in this Episode.
