Caesium 6,022 Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 In 2012 an Indian student was violently raped on a moving bus in Delhi and died of horrific internal injuries. Leslee Udwin spoke to one of the rapists on death row while spending two years making a film about the case. She came away shocked by India's treatment of women - but inspired by those seeking change.The horrifying details of the rape had led me to expect deranged monsters. Psychopaths. The truth was far more chilling. These were ordinary, apparently normal and certainly unremarkable men. On 16 December 2012, the 23-year-old woman had been to see a film, the Life of Pi, with a male friend. At 8.30pm they boarded an off-duty bus, with six men on board, five adults and a juvenile. The men beat the friend and each raped the woman in turn, before assaulting her viciously with an iron instrument.Mukesh Singh, the driver of the bus, described to me every detail of what happened during and after the incident. While prosecutors say the men took turns to drive the bus, and all took part in the rape, Singh says he stayed at the wheel throughout. Along with three of the other attackers, Singh is now appealing against his death sentence. In 16 hours of interviews, Singh showed no remorse and kept expressing bewilderment that such a fuss was being made about this rape, when everyone was at it."A decent girl won't roam around at nine o'clock at night. A girl is far more responsible for rape than a boy," he said."Housework and housekeeping is for girls, not roaming in discos and bars at night doing wrong things, wearing wrong clothes. About 20% of girls are good." People "had a right to teach them a lesson" he suggested - and he said the woman should have put up with it. "When being raped, she shouldn't fight back. She should just be silent and allow the rape. Then they'd have dropped her off after 'doing her', and only hit the boy," he said. Chillingly, he went on: "The death penalty will make things even more dangerous for girls. Now when they rape, they won't leave the girl like we did. They will kill her. Before, they would rape and say, 'Leave her, she won't tell anyone.' Now when they rape, especially the criminal types, they will just kill the girl. Death." I had the long and shocking list of injuries the young woman had sustained, read out to him. I tried, really hard, to search for a glimmer of regret. There was none.I don't even have any words for this. I don't agree with the death penalty but honestly I think I'll feel a little happier knowing this bastard and the others who partook in the rape is dead. I don't even understand how people like this can exist. F*cking disgusting.More here - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-31698154 Put your white tennis shoes on and follow me Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadow 6,697 Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Why do people think like this? Blaming the victim to justify abuse, violence, and rape? The victims shouldn't have to fear to go around at 8:30-9pm at night... Sad days we live in. Men should have been taught to control themselves and treat others with respect, especially those of the opposite s-x. Stand in the light, cast your shadow.

420 1,042 Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 It's the same country that still practices (in some area) the act of burning the wife alive when her husband's dead, so no surprise. 너와의 어색한 침묵이 차라리 좋아 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
