india has been characterized as one of the countries with the lowest per capita rates of rape.
A large number of rapes go unreported .
The willingness to report the rape has increased in recent years ,after several incidents of rape recieved widespread media attention and triggered public protest .
This led the government of India to reform it's penal code for crime of rape and sexual assault.
According to NCRB 2015 statics , Madhiya Pradesh has the highest raw number of rape reports among Indian states.
While jodhpur in rajhasthan has the highest per capita rate of rape reports in cities followed by Delhi the capital city.
However it looks like government of India had lose control over this issue.
