Rape is everything that we understand of it - it is about establishing/enforcing power/dominance over a/any woman/man/child, emerging from a repressed, patriarchal 
society that saw drastic changes economically and culturally, changes that didn't seep through/made available to all levels. India has been bearing the burden of complex class and caste distinctions which have remained big reasons for division. Add to this the gender divide and a troublesome Independence from the British, who left behind deep rooted skin racism. And then there is marital rape.

The right to give consent to their body is theirs, not somebody else.

What is there with jeans, mindset that brought about,

So that they realise consent belongs to  women and rights to how she dress and how she speaks belongs to her
