No one wants to talk about rapes in Manipur. There’s a silence at the heart of the violence (theprint.in)

In India, communal rioting includes revenge attacks based on fake news – from Muzaffarnagar riots to Delhi riots. Manipur's ethnic clashes witnessed 'revenge rape' following a false claim.

Rape is used as an instrument of violence during riots and conflict situations across the world. True But India isn’t in a war per se with a neighboring country and these riots had a flimsy and stupid excuse with barely no evidence to the allegations, let’s just say India has a male rape culture problem, as things are these guys will just rape the first person of lower caste from themselves everytime they drop something like an ice cream cone accidentally

The founder of Hindu supremacism encouraged use of rape as an instrument of violence & a political tool. His followers follow his teachings.

The use of gangrape to inflict caste/ ethnic/ religious violence has increased manifold since 2010ish. It is easy for perps to evade and/or to frame people when the police FIR say "unknown miscreants". Both society and lww & order have completely broken down.
