A Few Words on Indias DaughterIndias Daughter is one of the longer documentaries produced by the BBC that takes up a social cause and hits the right cord. The gruesome act of that night was re-constructed in the film. It is very meticulously researched and portrayed aptly in a third person. Nevertheless, I did find it to be a bit repetitive. But the director having herself experienced sexual violence in her life puts it up very well and full marks for doing it so gracefully.Above all, would have even skipped it had it not been banned. I frankly cannot imagine what the fuss is all about and why the politicians have been jumping like jack rabbits to get it banned. After all, the whole event was played out in the media hence what is wrong in anyone collating the news? I am actually flummoxed by the decision.The case being first we have to look within and sort out the problems before taking a decision to ban it. The decision to ban only gives further leeway to BBC to popularize their content with a minimum of fuss. Its not surprising they preponed the release from 8th, to coincide on International Womens Day, to release it on 4th itself. After all, any kind of publicity is good and helps sell the product.Everything that was shown is a known fact but we have been living under a denial hence it could actually come as a shock for some. India has always been a patriarchal society with a veil of equality that exists only in name. Its in this context that the gruesome gang-rape really shamed the nation. The manner in which she was humiliated and ravaged is totally unbecoming of human beings. Adding salt to the wound the rapist is unrepentant and blames the rape entirely on the girl. Its not only derogatory but there is tendency to objectify the opposite sex.I cannot believe what I witnessed in the video. The defense lawyers and the rapist were continuously ranting something that I could not sink in at all. The words still echo in my mind and I could not digest them at all. The examples of comparing flowers with a female and bringing the God aspect was unfortunate. It seemed the lawyers were bereft of ideas. I am still shaking my head after listening to the absolute nonsense. The lawyers argument of burning his daughter alive if caught in extra-marital affair was outrageous. I somehow am unable to digest how possibly someone can come up with this argument at all. All of which is added to not going out of home after 6PM. Its unfortunate to bear this from qualified people.The rapists interview was bone-chilling. I cannot imagine how he could be so utterly unrepentful after what he has been party to. To blame it on the opposite sex is foolhardy. I consider the arguments to be preposterous and cannot imagine how someone cannot comprehend what he has just said. Its as if he does not acknowledge what a heinous crime he has actually committed. Its absolutely shocking and made me wonder was he morally alive?The fact that all of them slept that night comfortably post committing the gruesome crime worries me the most. Its as if no remorse at all. The question that came to my mind is what good will hanging do when the killer is unrepentant. Another question that came to my mind is why psychiatry is still a taboo after bearing witness to the gruesome crime in the Indian capital. The killer is completely unconscious and does not even acknowledge what he has just done. I believe first through therapy he has to be brought alive and then hung.I cannot understand how the men could have been dastardly to have put a rod in the females vagina. How gruesome can someone become? And why the hell does he not repent it? Does not the rapist know that under the influence of alcohol the girl was raped in turns by five-six men? How gruesome can someone be?The worst possible thing to have happened is the delay in justice. It been close to 2 and half years and the case is still lingering on for some innocuous reason. And to think that its the same case that forced politicians to enact a law. Then how could it have been prolonged for so long? To buttress the point it has not even been heard in the court for close to a year.The key questions keep on roaming around in my mind and frankly have no answers for them. The question is why do we consider the women to be idolized, prayed and worshipped but not to be treated properly at all? Why cannot we stop treating women as objects to be owned, tormented and considered as mens property? Why cannot we treat them as human beings and at least start considering them as individuals to start with?The attitude of Indian society that the film amplifies is indeed worrying. Even more so, its in direct conflict with morality that is considered as the gift to the world from our nation. The fact that women folk are objectified on a daily basis only shames us even more and one tends to ponder what have we become?
