Blaming the current education system, the temple priests said, “India has one of the oldest education systems, including the world’s oldest literature. Child rape was an alien term in India, but now that we have adapted the western education system and culture, we are witnessing more and more rape cases in India. Newspapers, TV channels and social media are full of these cases nowadays.”
