00:00Rape can only be stopped by girls.
00:03We believe that a human being is a beast.
00:06What is written on his face, what kind of a beast is he?
00:09Is he a human being or an animal?
00:11But we don't invite him further.
00:13Like they are saying, one hand can't clap, it's not like that.
00:16I'm pretty sure that educated men will not do such things.
00:19Maybe the people who are conducting such acts are unaware of the consequences
00:24or they are under some influence of alcohol or any other drug
00:27where their senses are lost.
00:29The girls who wear clothes, they don't wear them properly.
00:34And the boys, they suddenly feel that they are useless.
00:38They feel like they are burning inside.
00:41This is how they get raped.
00:43If I become a rickshaw driver, who will come to the market?
00:46I am a shopkeeper.
00:48If I look at the customer from the wrong angle, will the customer come to me?
00:51Never.
00:52Why do you think there are so many rape cases in India?
00:56Because the mentality is not good.
00:58What should you do to change your mentality?
01:01When you are young, you should teach boys and girls to respect each other.
01:06Today, Brute is in Central Delhi where we will speak with locals
01:10to understand their perspectives on the underlying reasons for rape cases in India.
01:14Is it okay if we record your answers?
01:16Yeah, sure.
01:17So why do you think rapes happen in India?
01:19I think it's a lot because of the lack of education in India
01:23and also because somehow the Indian men feel they are entitled to teach women
01:27that it is their duty to teach women how to act properly.
01:31I don't think it's just the boys who are at fault.
01:34Both sides are at fault.
01:36How?
01:37For example, if a hungry lion wants to eat,
01:41he is a fool because he doesn't want to eat.
01:44Both sides are invited.
01:46Our generation doesn't say,
01:48okay, according to the world, men live a lifestyle,
01:53but not to the extent that you wear clothes that attract boys.
01:59The attitude of girls these days is to do anything,
02:04and boyfriends and girlfriends sit anywhere and do anything intimate.
02:09So this is very wrong from the point of view of girls.
02:12Everything has been made in privacy for that.
02:15There are OYO rooms, there are hotels.
02:17You shouldn't wear clothes like that openly.
02:22It is not about sexual satisfaction.
02:24It is not about desire.
02:26It is about a deep-seated hatred
02:32and a need to inflict violence.
02:34If it was only about having sex or enforcing a will on somebody,
02:39it would not happen in such a brutal way.
02:41All the porn sites are banned.
02:43All the porn sites are banned.
02:45They can't even see it.
02:46I have a daughter in my house,
02:49and I am sending her out.
02:51How is the environment?
02:52I am a man.
02:53But I am worried about my daughter.
02:56It happens with girls too.
02:58Some boys lack it too.
03:00Some girls lack it too, dear.
03:02What?
03:03What happens with girls is,
03:05first of all,
03:06whatever clothes they wear,
03:08they don't close their eyes.
03:11Listen, they don't close their eyes.
03:13It is an experience for both boys and girls.
03:16Nowadays, boys go crazy.
03:18They look for it openly.
03:20They look for it openly.
03:22Because they drink alcohol,
03:24and then they don't care.
03:25When they see an old woman,
03:26they look at her in a wrong way.
03:28I have heard women speaking,
03:31like women saying that
03:33rapes are happening,
03:34because of,
03:35like they are saying,
03:36one hand is not enough to clap.
03:38It's not like that.
03:39They will say that,
03:40like women wear clothes to invite men.
03:44It's not that.
03:45It's a very wrong,
03:47I don't know from where they,
03:49from where they think all this.
03:52In Instagram, social media,
03:55or Bollywood,
03:57there are a lot of things
03:59that brainwash people.
04:01Like?
04:02Like,
04:03in a lot of songs,
04:04they show nudity.
04:06And,
04:07like foreigners,
04:09from the start,
04:10they show that
04:11in small clothes.
04:12Why do so many rapes happen in India?
04:15All this is because
04:17there is no information about the law.
04:19And,
04:20many people are ill-educated.
04:22And,
04:23a lot of things are changing
04:25in today's world.
04:26Like what?
04:27The modern age has become too much.
04:30And,
04:31people,
04:32the main reason is
04:33ill-education.
04:34The fear of the law
04:35is diminishing.
04:37I believe,
04:38strongly believe,
04:39that it is because of illiteracy.
04:41People don't know
04:42how to behave.
04:43And,
04:44they are very illiterate.
04:45They don't know
04:46how to respect others.
04:53So, the illiteracy is
04:54the main and root cause
04:55in India
04:56for rapes.
05:13No, it doesn't happen.
05:14No, it doesn't happen.
05:15Why do you think
05:16there are so many rape cases
05:17in India?
05:18The mentality is not good.
05:20What should we do
05:21to change the mentality?
05:23When you are young,
05:24you should teach
05:25boys and girls
05:26to respect each other.
05:28Okay.
05:29There should be
05:30an equal status in the house.
05:31The boys should be
05:32given a higher status,
05:34that they are boys.
05:35That should be stopped.
05:37When we start from home,
05:38only then will the society improve.
05:39The boys
05:40who wear clothes,
05:42they don't wear
05:43their clothes properly.
05:44And,
05:45the boys
05:46suddenly
05:47find it useless.
05:48They feel
05:49like they are
05:50being raped.
05:51They start
05:52being raped.
05:53So, what should
05:54be done
05:55to stop this?
05:56The boys
05:57should live
05:58in peace.
05:59And,
06:00the girls
06:01should also
06:02live in peace.
06:03According to
06:04the famous belief
06:05that women should
06:06wear proper clothes,
06:07I don't really
06:08believe in that.
06:09What I believe is,
06:10the more you hire,
06:11the more mysterious it gets.
06:12And,
06:13human consciousness
06:14works in a certain way
06:15that,
06:16you know,
06:17they want to know
06:18what's behind the clothes.
06:19So, that's a mystery.
06:20They want to unravel the mystery.
06:21So, because
06:22girls,
06:23you know,
06:24if the girls
06:25wear full clothing,
06:26it will be actually more,
06:27you know,
06:28sumptuous
06:29for men to seek,
06:30you know,
06:31what's behind the clothes.
06:32But,
06:33if they wear less clothes,
06:34that would turn the mentality.
06:36That would turn the mentality
06:37in a way that,
06:38okay,
06:39you know,
06:40there's nothing special in it.
06:41There's nothing good.
06:42There's nothing bad.
06:43There's nothing beautiful.
06:44There's nothing ugly.
06:45It's just a normal body.
06:46So,
06:47what I believe is,
06:48we should normalize,
06:49you know,
06:50skimply clad clothing.
06:51You know,
06:52short clothes,
06:53to me,
06:54is what I think
06:55is a good initiative
06:56to stop that.
07:11In India,
07:12we can't find a solution
07:13to this.
07:40We can't even stop it.
07:41So,
07:42we can reduce
07:43the illiteracy and poverty.
07:44There's no solution
07:45to that.
07:46If we do this,
07:47it will get better.
07:48Alcohol was for men
07:49and for girls too.
07:50What will you do
07:51with a medal for this?
07:52Huh?
07:53Don't parents see it?
07:54Don't parents see it?
07:55So,
07:56what should we do?
07:57What should our children do?
07:58What?
07:59This is a home improvement.
08:00The parents will do
08:01for their children.
08:02The government
08:03will do for this
08:04who raped.
08:05But,
08:06you said
08:07girls should wear
08:08short clothes.
08:09It's right.
08:10It's absolutely right.
08:11I'm not saying it's wrong.
08:12Now,
08:13what is it?
08:14One bandage
08:15is for Delhi.
08:16The other one
08:17is for the world.
08:18The world.
08:19Punishment should be
08:20given directly
08:21so that
08:22the people
08:23who think like this
08:24get scared.
08:25So that,
08:26like it happens
08:27in foreign countries,
08:28in Saudi Arabia,
08:29they are directly
08:30hanged.
08:31In Iran,
08:32they are shot.
08:33In many other countries,
08:34they directly
08:35kill a person.
08:36Like we know
08:37from the Nirbhya case
08:38that it took
08:398 years,
08:40more than 10 years
08:41for the rapist
08:42to actually
08:43go to jail.
08:44So I think
08:45that should not
08:46have happened
08:47even when
08:48they had
08:49accepted to committing
08:50the crime.
08:51What do you think
08:52should be done?
08:53The legal system
08:54should be stronger.
08:55The judicial system
08:56should work faster
08:57and more efficiently.
