The country has the largest number of cases of child sexual abuse, which is even more shocking given that most instances in the country go unreported.

In this work, the author has sought to describe the current state of Child Sexual Abuse in India, and highlight the legislative changes that have been brought forward. The country's major difficulties against the said issue are explained, and recent judgments of various High Courts are also examined.
