Abstract
As we touch the 73rd year of Indian independence, the injustice against women only seems to increase. The question arises as to who is actually accountable for the pain of every other woman who is raped, assaulted, sodomized or burned to death every 21 minutes, regardless of her age, caste or creed. Today, India, ironically symbolized as mother India, stands to be one of the most insecure countries for women. In spite of that, the punishments for outraging the modesty of women do not include chemical castration, bobbitization or death sentence. Through this article, we have aimed to shed light on the fact that the government of our country has faltered in providing adequate justice to women whose lives have been destroyed. We have tried linking the shortcomings of our government with the age-old patriarchal system. We have laid emphasis on the fact that every government officer is just as responsible for the pain of an Indian woman as is a stalker, rapist or any other man who tries to outrage her modesty, as they all are the products of our impaired society and its principles and hence, share the same patriarchal ideology.
