“While the faces in the seminars change, certain doubts are common pan India. Initially, I would fail to comprehend concerns of both genders but soon realised the extent of ignorance, unnecessary fear and the incorrect attitude of boys and men due to misinformation. It is very alarming,” Ramesh Pittala Mudiraj tells The Better India.

Ramesh has been on a mission to educate Indian citizens about the Indian Penal Codes (IPC) for women safety since two years. The 34-year-old is a Senior Analyst in a Hyderabad-based MNC and is currently in the final year of LLB.
He works the graveyard shift and, during the day, attends law college. Over the weekend, Ramesh conducts seminars and makes YouTube videos explaining various legal rights for women. Click here to check out his channel.
In 2017, the Limca Book of Records had featured him for reciting the Indian Constitution (395 numbered articles, 12 schedules and 100 amendments) in 25 minutes.

Ramesh has taken around 500 sessions in government and private schools, corporates, police departments where he talks about crimes like dowry, acid attacks, rape, eve-teasing, trafficking, stalking, domestic violence, sexual assault and cyber-related crimes. He then lists out the IPC provisions to fight these.
Furthermore, Ramesh has helped women file more than 100 First Information Reports (FIR’s).
Ramesh’s interest in women’s safety was ignited after a close female relative did not get timely justice. The incident took place around the same time when Ramesh had just started studying the IPC sections. He did not understand why she was deprived of justice despite the IPC having strong legal measures. That is when he decided to educate women and get into the judicial system.
Understanding the Behavior Patterns in Seminars
Majority of the crimes that occur against women fall under two IPC sections – 354 (A, B, C, D) that deals with assault or criminal force against woman with intent to outrage her modesty and 509 where a person can be punished for using a word, gesture or act intended to insult the modesty of a woman.

Observations
Ramesh, who hails from an agrarian family, was first introduced properly to the constitution in 2011 when he was applying for government jobs. But soon realised that the constitution is a way of life.
