The Rape Crisis in India: Anatomy of a System That Fails SurvivorsSexual violence in India is often treated as a series of shocking exceptions. A brutal case erupts into public outrage, reforms are promised, and attention moves on. Yet the violence continues, predictably and repeatedly. This book asks a harder question: what if rape persists not despite the system, but because of it?The Rape Crisis in India is a rigorous, unsparing examination of how sexual violence is produced, normalized, and protected through culture, law, politics, and institutions. Moving beyond headlines and individual cases, the book dissects the structures that enable impunity: patriarchal socialization, caste and class power, family and community silence, police resistance, forensic failures, judicial delay, political shielding, corruption, and the high personal cost imposed on survivors who seek justice.Clear, analytical, and deeply human, The Rape Crisis in India is for readers who want to understand why sexual violence remains so pervasive, why reform has failed to deliver justice, and what accountability would actually require if taken seriously.
