Violence against women has been a major issue in the news in recent years ever
since the Delhi gang rape case of 2012. That case brought to the fore, the awful
condition of Indian women in terms of safety. It also highlighted the misogyny that
is inbred in the Indian psyche. One year later, nothing much has changed as
countless women are raped everyday all over the country. This problem might
have come into international limelight only recently but it definitely is not
something new. Here, we’ll try to explore the ten rape cases in Indian that were
widely covered by the mainstream media and created rage in people.

10. Aruna Shanbaug Case:

One of the oldest cases of rape that was widely covered by the media was the
1973 case of nurse Aruna Shanbaug. She was raped by a contracted sweeper,
Sohanlal Bhartha Walmiki while working as a junior nurse at KEM Hospital in

The Mathura rape case is a landmark case in the history of Indian women’s rights
movement. In 1972, a tribal girl named Mathura was raped by two policemen in
the Chandrapur district of Maharashtra. Initially the policemen were acquitted by
the sessions court as the girl was said to have been “habituated to sexual
intercourse”. Maharashtra High Court reversed the judgment which was again
reversed by the Supreme Court. This shows the inherent patriarchal attitude of the
Indian judicial system at that time. Later large protests led to formation of
27 Cute Lines And
women’s rights group and a subsequent change in the Indian rape law.
