NCRB report, increasing incidents of crimes against women

Increasing incidents of crimes against women in our country had only eroded reputation of our country where since time memorial women had always been held in high esteem. If  the latest repors of the National Crimes  Records Bureau are anything to go by,  92 women were raped on an average every day in India. According to report, the  total number of rape cases reported in India has gone up to 33,707 in 2013 from 24,923 in 2012. 
Among all the Indian states, Madhya Pradesh continues to be on the top as far as number of rapes in the country are concerned. As per the NCRB data, Madhya Pradesh at an average records 11 rapes every day, with a total of 4,335 such cases, which is the highest in 2013 among all other states. 
The NCRB data is a gruesome reminder to the fact that notwithstanding salutary changes in the socio-economic condition of women in our country with growing level of literacy among them, they continue to be at the receiving end in our society in our male-dominated society.
It is high time we need change our mindset towards women  and must not treat them as an object of deriving sexual  pleasure. No society or for that matter a nation can progress on moral, spiritual and social parameters unless and until we give respect to women they deserve.
