Abstract

In modern India the institution of rape has flourished Immensely in recent times, and presently it is a national problem. It is a challenge to the Contemporary thinking. Gender equality is enshrined in the Indian constitution. In ancient times rape existed in Europe while women in India had divine personification as Shakti and in modern times millions of Indians visit Shakti temples with liberal offerings. This paper addresses dynamics of rape with particular reference to India. Rape is multidimensional and dynamic phenomenon. Its perception may vary from radical to liberal, and the legal definition keeps evolving. Mathematically it may be modeled as a space-time function. In 2013 the definition of rape was revised both in India and US. It, however, differs. The paper examines recently introduced Indian law to reduce rape incidents. There are various areas which need attention to have insight into the phenomenon of Rape and Measures to control the incidents. This includes understanding the effect of socioeconomicdemographic predictor variables in reduction of the incidents.
