The main culprit of these things is cinema. They shows girl like a item and normalise that in our society. In our Country, People protest for Name of film but not against the Film scene which shows Girl as a Product. We see films where actor force actress to love him.

You can't blame cinema. Its all about mentality and lack of education. You haven't seen Hollywood movies. There are many more movies than bollywood where there are more erotic or forecful intimate scenes even in television shows (1/2)

Meanwhile, four accused in the case have been arrested so far and the national outrage forced Telangana Chief K Chandrashekar Rao to order a fast-track court to try the accused.
India banned 827 porn sites, including PornHub and xVideos.com in October 2018 following a court order
Porn companies, however, launched mirror URLs such as pornhub.net after pornhub.com became inaccessible. Major internet service providers Bharti Airtel and Reliance Jio have blocked the mirror URLs.
However, at present porn sites are just a click away. As per the analysis by London-based Top10VPN (virtual private network), mobile downloads of virtual private network (VPN) apps in India grew 405%, to 57 million in the 12 months starting October 2018. India is currently biggest market by downloads in the world.
