Abstract
The use of rape as a tool for political control and mobilization has been seen throughout history, particularly in times of conflict and war. Rape is used to exert power and authority, with the intention of oppressing and dehumanizing a particular group of people. In many cases, rape is used to assert dominance and control over a community, to exert social, political and economic control, and to further marginalise and silence the victims. The motivations behind the use of rape as a tool in politics can vary, but they often stem from a desire to maintain power and control over a population, to spread fear and destabilise a community, and to assert dominance over a particular group. The consequences of rape used in this manner can be far-reaching, including physical, psychological, and emotional trauma for the victims, as well as a long term impact on their communities. This paper is an attempt to explain how rape has been used as a tool of political mobilisation for committing violence against women in general and the weaker sections in particular especially the Muslim women in India.
