beetle Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Trauma is the same whether you live in USA or UK or Mars or India. Trauma may be same but chances of leading a normal life are not same.In India....a rape victim finds it difficult to stay in her own locality after people know.A woman can willingly sleep with men and still be able to lead a normal life but a rape victim is seen as dirty for life. Not only her...even her family is shamed for no fault of hers. People judge her more than sympathize with her.If you think that the life of a rape victim is same everywhere...then you are being naive or just burying your head under sand.

It took 20 years for this lady to come forward and admit about the rape. Trauma, insult is there everywhere. It is a global phenomenon.

Now that it got its airtime and all discussion done & dusted... maybe media and everyone should focus on ways to stop and prevent such crimes...

Tiger80 Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 21-year-old abducted, gang raped in Ludhiana The survivor, who hails from Himachal Pradesh and has been sharing the PG accommodation with a girl from Chhattisgarh for the past 18 months, told cops that when she was being raped, a car coming from the opposite direction drove past, which made the trio to drive to another secluded area nearby. She said the youths spoke Haryanvi and UP dialect and kept mouthing obscenities. They even boasted of having raped another woman a day before and threatened to subject her to the same kind of torture the Delhi rape victim Nirbhaya was subjected to if she put up resistance. One of them even threatened to take her with him to Ambala, where he lived. Two of them were addressing each other Monu and Vicky, she said. http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/21-year-old-abducted-gang-raped-in-Ludhiana/articleshow/46497709.cms?utm_source=facebook.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=india It looks rappists are learning from Delhi gang rape Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crookbond Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Ofcourse i am. If you feel what the BJP did was wrong you have the freedom to express your displeasure in the following manner, (A) challenge it in the courts (B) not vote for them next time. © Write a post, blog, light a candle or play the world's smallest violin. The government is trying to sweep things under the carpet is your opinion.What the government did was wrong is again your opinion. Many even in the Indian media dont share that opinion and it appears even the opposition in parliament appears to be on the same page. Clearly the court did not think a fundamental right was being violated within the parameters of the constitution. Pure trite! Everything that everyone posts on ICF is his/her opinion. I am saying WHY my opinion has weight. You are just pointing out and saying - Hey courts, did it hunky dowry. That is a formal logical fallacy called as Appeal to Authority.

Crookbond Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Is it legit? Because i have hard time buying. I am not sure if someone would admit openly that they are profiling you. It is flat out wrong at so many levels in any country let alone Germany. Most Europeans I have met live in some lala land and are closet xenophobes. Completely believable. Fake. Dear Sir? Typical Indian way of addressing people. A German professor would never address anyone' date= let alone a student by "dear sir".Ambassador Statement Response from Professor after further probe University has released an apology text http://www.zv.uni-leipzig.de/en/service/press-office/press-releases.html?ifab_modus=detail&ifab_uid=aee1bc7fa520150309135836&ifab_id=5955 No, s/he he would.

G_B_ Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Anjali Bhushan, co-producer of Indias' Daughter, speaks out: Full statement Anjali Bhushan Updated: Mar 07, 2015 05:19 IST Make no mistake. Rape is a heinous crime. When public anger over the Nirbhaya incident boiled over, the question which confronted our society was how a human being could be driven to commit acts of such depravity. Although, it is said that the moral compass of all criminals is skewed the brutality of this incident made it necessary from a social viewpoint to examine the question of where such behaviour stems from. The documentary "India's Daughter" was therefore conceived to serve a social cause which was unfortunately overshadowed by the self-promoting agenda of my collaborator, Ms. Leslee Udwin. I had fallen out with her by the time that the principle photography of the film was completed and was conveniently excluded from the final edits. Subsequently, her attempt to exploit the subject matter of the documentary in a self-advancing attempt to sensationalize the content has not only brought disrepute to my profession and the country but also resulted in hurting the sentiments of the victims of rape who would invariably be exposed to the film. Granted editorial and journalistic privilege, there is also a particular sensibility that should be a guiding factor as an ethical standard. This is the same sensibility because of which the international media decides against telecasting the brutal immolation of a Jordanian pilot by terrorists. The social message which is the very essence of the film I wanted to make is now lost in the unfortunate controversy which has followed. When one edits several hours of footage, it is this sensibility, suitably deployed, which comes into play. It was this 'sensibility' which I was not able to exercise having been prevented by Ms. Leslee Udwin from participating in the post-assembly review of the film. And it was the lack of exercise of this 'sensibility' on her part, (having denied herself of my input as an Indian woman), in a cynical attempt to capture eyeballs and headlines which has led to the unfortunate controversy which will continue to cast a shadow on her career as a film maker. The story does not end here. Regardless of her lack of sensibilities and judgment, Ms. Udwin knowingly and cynically breached the conditions and undertakings under which the permissions were granted. It was clear right at the outset that the permission to shoot the documentary was conditional upon the viewing of the unedited footage and the final cut by the authorities. Having completed the shooting, Ms. Udwin arrogantly refused to comply. On being shown snippets of the film, the authorities at Tihar Prisons had categorically stated that the comments of the convict were objectionable. The authorities further asked for the full i.e. unedited film to be able to review the same in the proper context. It was reiterated that the film should not be released till it is approved by the prison authorities and the Ministry. When Ms. Udwin categorically refuted this demand by Tihar Prisons, I was horrified especially since I had repeatedly pleaded with her to comply with all conditions and formalities. Ultimately, in September 2014, I received a letter from Ms. Udwin's lawyers terminating our agreements. One of the grounds of termination was that my warnings had in fact led to the DG (Prisons) sending a legal notice to her company on the grounds of breach of permissions granted by the jail authorities! Subsequently, when I accidently stumbled upon the fact that plans to release the documentary were afoot, I was both angry and surprised, since I had been informed that the BBC will not air the documentary until the Supreme Court hearings were over. I immediately proceeded to warn the media houses planning to telecast the film, both about the fact that permission to do so had not been received and also the fact that the matter was still sub judice. That despite my warnings the documentary, which includes an abominable portrayal of the issue, was still aired is a sad reflection of the triumph of the personal ambition of a producer who valued publicity and international recognition over the social agenda of the entire production.
