An America based website, National Report published a sensational story regarding the Assam Rape Festival. The backdrop of this story starts with the increased rape cases in India, and the web management’s intention to condemn such incidents while providing suggestions in the form of means and measures for preventing such incidents, as claimed by the website management. But the most important thing here is to know how far they are honest in their statement.
Before entering into the actual details, it is a must to know the background of the story. In the subject website, they published the news with the title "The Assam Rape Festival in India Begins This Week" including the image of Nagas rushing hurriedly into Ganges for taking sacred bath. They mentioned that such a festival has been celebrated in Assam from many thousand years. According to the story, when the males chase the females aged about 7-16yrs have to run and reach to safer places; else, they have to surrender themselves and offer themselves for a gang rape. The males practice throughout the year for this festival. The story includes a statement of a man that he practices on a regular basis to be the winner and he rapes his younger sister and her friends’ everyday during the practice session.
They even included a statement of a girl in the story, according to that the girl participated in the last year's festival. Even after her best performance, in the last minute she was grabbed by 8 men and raped her. Also, according to her she just recovered back after that incident and has to take part in this year’s festival also. Else, she would be killed by hurling stones. The news story concludes with the statement of a Whiteman that he wanted to go back to his nation as he cannot live among such lewd people.
Now coming back to the intention behind publishing such a story: Is there any reality in the story and the reasons mentioned by the publishers for such publication? There are two versions of projecting a thing: one, projecting the issue in a proper way considering a sense of belongingness to self and the second, to make mockery of the situation among the masses.
The second option is the best suited intention behind this story. The publishers even related this story as the reason behind the increased rapes in the country. This news has been considered as a cyber crime by India, according to sources.
Finally, the publishers managed to tell that the Rape Festival has been celebrated from 43 B.C with the inspiration of a great rapist called Balakishan hailing from Tamilnadu.
