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.
