Of Asaram Bapus, Mohan Bhagwats and 'India and Bharat'

Who is responsible for rape? Drunkards, chauvinists and the like? If our most venerable and idiotic saint Asaram 'Bapu' is to be believed, its the victim's silence. She should call her assaulter 'Bhaiya' i.e. brother. Then, according to him, this would have melted the molester's heart and he would stop raping the woman. Really, Mr Asaram? If what you say is true, then:

" And then Draupadi said to Dusshasana: 'Bhaiya, please leave me alone' and the Mahabharata didn't happen and everybody lived happily forever."

You may wonder why I am saying all this so many days after the Delhi rape. This is because even though the whole nation rose up in anger over the case, the government took no action that was preventive, and now the issue itself has been overshadowed by the beheading of one of our brave jawans, allegedly by Pakistani soldiers along the LoC. 

Another "great visionary leader" of our country, Sir Mohan'ji' Bhagwat, says that rapes happen only in India (Urban) and not in Bharat (Rural). He says Westernisation has destroyed our morals. Then, why, Mr Bhagwat, do 80% of rapes happen in rural India, and western countries have a much lower number of rape cases?
