PORN IN POCKET: “RAPE ON ROAD” A CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF THE RELATION AMONG MOBILE PHONES, PORNOGRAPHY, AND RAPE Vijay Jangra, M.A. (English), B.Ed., LL.B., PGDCBM, Independent Researcher Download Manuscript doi.org/10.70183/lijdlr.2025.v03.217 This study aims to help readers understand the relationship among mobile phones, pornography, and rape with special reference to India. It seeks to analyze the social conditions in which we are living and the manner in which mobile phones are misused, sometimes leading individuals towards criminal behavior. India is not only the second most populous country in the world but also has one of the largest populations of mobile and internet users. The internet has contracted the world into a small village, and people increasingly depend upon it for a wide range of activities. Earlier, internet access was largely limited to computers, which were not easily approachable for everyone. Mobile phones have not only brought the internet into every pocket but have also made pornographic content easily accessible. A large number of teenagers in India who use mobile phones have been exposed to pornographic material. Ethically and morally, watching pornography is often considered unacceptable, but an important question arises as to whether it is legal in India. Another crucial question is whether watching pornography contributes to an increase in rape cases. These issues came into sharp focus after the Nirbhya rape case in Delhi, which generated widespread public outrage and compelled the government to amend rape laws, resulting in the Criminal Law Amendment Act, 2013. Despite such legal reforms, the number of rape cases has not declined significantly, and reports of sexual violence continue to appear almost daily in newspapers. Various reasons have been suggested by politicians and social commentators for such crimes, including westernization, short skirts, dating culture, and films. However, these explanations appear superficial. What is required is a fundamental change in social mentality towards women, recognizing them as equal human beings with the same dignity and status as men. This paper concludes by examining the relationship among mobile phones, pornography, and rape in an impartial manner and by suggesting possible solutions to the problem.

The government has also launched initiatives like the Cyber Swachhta Kendra and Cyber Surakshit Bharat program to raise awareness and provide protection tools.
