It is not a fictional story; but it was so in ‘Rama-rajya’. We want to create such ‘Rama-rajya’ again which means Hindu Rashtra !
Incidents of rape are increasing very rapidly in India. Some people feel that the only answer to this problem is “a death sentence”. Although such demands are correct, it is only a superficial solution. Even if every rapist is given a death sentence, rape will not be stopped; because even if a terrorist is hanged, it does not create fear in other terrorists. In fact, they start searching ways for exploding bomb without being caught. The number of rapists is, therefore, increasing with such mentality.
Nobody, however, thinks about how to change the thought process of rapists; how to stop such thought from itself getting generated in mind. The only solution to the problem is imparting ‘Dharma-Shikshan’ (Dharma-education) and teaching ‘Sadhana’ (spiritual practice) to them. By undertaking ‘Sadhana’, the ‘Raja-Tama’ component reduces increasing ‘Sattvikta’ in a person. It also helps in increasing morality and thoughts of rape won’t arise in mind. It is not a fictional story; but it was so in ‘Rama-rajya’. We want to create such ‘Rama-rajya’ again which means Hindu Rashtra !
It will, however, need 8-9 years for that to happen. Remedies required to be promptly undertaken for the same are : to ensure that sexuality is not aroused through media like films, websites, ‘Facebook’ etc. Of course, we need ‘sattvik’ rulers for such things !
