in The Mahabharata we got Droupadi was rescued when Dushyashan attempted to denude her.but Bhima was so exasperated as he took the vow to kill and drink the blood o Dushyashan. that signifies how the Indian women were looked at once upon a time.in IPC outraging modesty of an woman is a bailable offence.sud this British legacy still exist in Indian law?

probably we are putting the cart before the horse. Seeta was abducted by Ravana a man of demoniacal nature who was king of Lanka, made of gold, that means a king running after pelf and power. it is the culture and philosophy of a country that count, not the sex-dominanace in moulding its law. the very word "kingdom" in a country's name may determine its attitude towards ordinary people and consequent common law.

We can see the characters of Mahabaratha and Ramayana in this modern world also.In Epic age it is easy to punish a transgressor because of various reason and innocents and ignorance are free to move any where. But the condition is changed.Judiciary is strugging to find out the real culprit.So I think 354 IPC can help sometimes the poor innocents.
