| New Delhi, India (CNN)—An Indian court has banned the publication of an interview with a convicted rapist, who blamed his victim and said she "should just be silent and allow the rape." The woman, who was attacked by five men on a public bus in 2012, later died from her injuries. The attack provoked outrage around the world. A spokesman for the New Delhi police told CNN the interview was banned because of its potential to breed disorder. "A police case has been registered, and we have obtained restrain(ing) orders from the magistrate against the interview," Rajan Bhagat said Tuesday. "No channel beaming into India, local or foreign, can air it. It cannot be published either." Mukesh Singh, a bus driver, was one of the five men convicted in the gang rape case and sentenced to death by hanging. He and three others are appealing the sentence. Singh showed no remorse, for what he dubbed "an accident" that occurred on December 2012 to a BBC Storyville documentary crew. "A decent girl won't roam around at 9 o'clock at night," he told the BBC. "A girl is far more responsible for rape than a boy. Boy and girl are not equal. "Housework and housekeeping is for girls, not roaming in discos and bars at night doing wrong things, wearing wrong clothes." He suggested that they "had a right to teach them a lesson." |

| Singh's lawyer echoed similar sentiments about women: "If my daughter or sister engaged in premarital activities and disgraced herself ... I would most certainly take this sort of sister or daughter to my farmhouse, and in front of my entire family, I would put petrol on her and set her alight." The documentary filmmakers also interviewed other convicted rapists, one called Guarav, who admitted he had raped a 5-year-old girl and retold his story with a half-smile. When she asked how he could commit such an act given how small and terrified she was, he gave her a look as if she was "crazy for even asking the question." He replied, "She was beggar girl. Her life was of no value." |
"She shouldn't have dressed like that, she was asking for it" is a problem everywhere but obviously a much bigger problem in India and the Middle East. Centuries of cultural misogyny, I think it's slowly improving but we might have to wait another century before they're where we're at when it comes to gender relations/equality... and we're not exactly perfect either.
The best way to quiet a country is a good thrashing, followed by great kindness afterwards. Even the wildest chaps are thus tamed...the human mind is never better disposed to gratitude and attachment than when softened by fear...
Come here instantly...so perverse is mankind that every nationality prefers to be misgoverned by its own people than to be well ruled by another.
The mob attacked the prison late on Thursday in the northeastern state of Nagaland. The man, a 35-year-old Muslim businessman accused of raping a woman, was dragged out and hauled naked through the streets and beaten to death.
I do wonder, though, if they would have done the same to a Hindu.

Thanks, man...I may have to catch it as well.

..."India's Daughter," and it may be banned in India, but it's been out on YouTube. I have it and am going to watch it this evening.

It's been pulled from YouTube, but it looks to be available on Vimeo. Here's the link.

This sounded to me more like retribution based on ethnicity than about anger over rape.
Cool.

Welcome to the club, pally. You lack a sense of humor as well as a sense of proportion.
