The two rape cases have shocked the entire nation in the last few weeks. The first case is from Thane district in Maharashtra, where a primary school girl was raped by a school teacher. The incident happened in Badlapur town in Thane and created a lot of political stir in Mumbai city.
The other case is from Kolkata, where a doctor is accused of the rape and murder of a fellow student. These two cases have shocked the nation in recent times, and there is a lot of pressure on the government too. Below, we glance at three reasons why these two cases are a black spot on India.
- The Culprits Are Professionals
First, let’s get some facts clear. India is not the only country where rapes take place. In every country around the world, rapes are common and one of the biggest crimes against women. Hence, like every country, India also suffers from this type of crime that is against the safety and self-respect of women.
Due to the high illiteracy rate in India, such crimes occur on a larger scale as many men do not understand the gravity of their actions. However, the Badlapur and Kolkata cases do not fall into the category where illiterate individuals or goons committed the act. It was committed by professionals and qualified people who worked in schools and medical colleges.

- Black Spot on Teachers
If we look particularly at the Badlapur case, a 4-year-old girl was raped by a school teacher. India has always been a land of knowledge, and teachers have always received a lot of respect. Great scholars like Guru Chanakya, Aryabhatt, Sushrut, and Ramanujan have been admired by the world.
Sadly, the teachers of modern India are ruining the legacy of these popular Indian scholars with such immoral acts. This case could destroy the image of Indian teachers in foreign countries. Notably, many Indian people also work as professors in foreign nations. Hence, those nations’ attitudes towards Indian teachers might have been damaged.
- The Saviour Is the Destroyer
Now consider the Kolkata case, where the crime was committed by a doctor. Doctors are always regarded next to God as they save many lives. However, an educated doctor has brought so much shame to the doctor’s fraternity in India.
Indian doctors were highly praised for their brilliant work during the COVID outbreak. However, some of them are degrading the value of doctors in the eyes of common people. Hence, people who have the responsibility to save lives are actually killing innocent girls.
