I am a post graduate in Clinical Psychology. I also holds a Diploma of Performing Arts in Dramatics. Later I joined the prestigious institute Film and Television Institute of India, FTII, Pune for screenplay writing course.  

In December 2012, when a 23 years old paramedic student was brutally gang raped on a moving bus in Delhi, entire nation felt rage for the victim who was given the title Nirbhaya- the fearless, for the way she fought with the inhumane tragedy she was forced to endure. Her tragedy also brought in light the debate if a juvenile offender's age should be considered the primary criteria while determining his/her punishment. 

I as a psychologist strongly felt that it is role of the state as parens patriae of its youth to give them right direction, and even while the intention of state might be right to give juvenile offenders care and protection and not punishment, there is a high possibility of this law being misused by people who commit heinous crimes such a rape. 

The novel #IAm16ICanRape: The War AGAINST Rape Culture revolves around this very premise, is Indian government doing a sensible thing by not considering the competence and ability to premeditate while deciding the punishment for juveniles for sexual offenses.
