Imagine the impact these films have. Generations of Indian women are brought up on a popular culture that holds the incredulous belief that rape is, in addition to an assault, a matter of everlasting shame in the eyes of society and the woman herself. Should such a woman suffer a rape, she would in all probability be torn between the conflicting emotions of natural anger at her attacker, and shame for the attack. She would be torn in acting upon the impulses of the one or the other. Whatever her struggle, if suicide is seen to be the most desirable solution in preference to pursuing any other course of action, then its obvious that there is something very seriously wrong in our society and that a drastic self-image reformation is called for.
Rape is a violation of one's human rights.
It is an imposition of physical force by the rapist over another's body. The victim's rights of physical space are being violated and this is a crime regardless of the victim's involvement under threat or duress. Rape is a criminal offence and in India, the law is considering giving rapists the death penalty for this crime. To have been raped is a terrible thing to happen to anyone, male or female. It is a deliberate overcoming of one's possession of one's body, it is a physical invasion with terrible emotional and mental repercussions.
