A week has passed since one of the most brutal rape cases in our country happened, and we are still stuck on blaming women and issuing advisories for women. The latest in rolling out gyaan on why women get raped and what they should do to be safe is filmmaker Daniel Shravan. In a post on Facebook, he asks women to carry condoms instead of dialling 100. “Carry Condoms to save yourself,” he wrote.
Key Takeaways:

Cooperate And Offer Condoms To Prevent Murder After Rape
Mr Shravan has a piece of advice for women. He asks women to carry condoms with them and also to cooperate when being raped, so that murder can be avoided. Basically, he means that it is obvious that by no means are the women safe in this country, at least we can avoid being killed if we co-operate. Wait, his advice is not yet over. He is deeply concerned for women and doesn't want women to be killed. He blames women's organisations for rape and according to him, murder is heinous, RAPE IS NOT!
Ideas going around.
