India still safe for women

Referring to Jubel D’Cruz’s letter dated 28/3/2015, it is evident that India was once a safe place for women but I do not believe that its not safe for them any more as the similar situation prevails in all the other countries of the world due to abuse of individual freedom and immoral lessons learnt from some uncivilised films etc. In the past even a slight exposure of ladies’ legs were not allowed to be filmed by the Indian film censorship board.
The rate of rape crimes in India’s 1.25 billion of population is comparatively low. Indians have a profound understanding about dignity and honour of a woman in the social fabric.
After a fatal gang rape of ‘Nirbhaya’ in Delhi on the basis of the Justice Verma Committee’s report made after the wide consultation and references to laws and research from around the world the new strict law about rape has already been passed by the Indian government which became the toughest on crimes against women.
The repetition of the crime is now dealt with by a different legal avenue resulting in the death penalty.
Every Indian has heartfelt sympathy on the demise of the British woman Suzette Jordan whose case has been dealt with by the law unbiased, and all Indians are proud and well aware of such rape crime laws amidst fast globalisation.
