The police have lodged a case against six people, including the SHO and the girl’s aunt, after the incident came to light when the girl narrated her ordeal to members of a child helpline.
India has already had several MeToo-like movements (comparable in size and scope). Some people are even starting to turn to violence out of sheer desperation.
The problem there isn't what goes on behind closed doors. They don't even need to close the doors. They can do their shit in public and the only thing that will get anything done is nationwide protests, much like US cop killings against BMEs.
I fear you are right and that a revolution will be what finally tips the scales.
Do Indians not have fathers? I would be out for blood if someone raped my daughter, doesn't matter if she is a full grown adult. I would be taking vengeance into my own hands.
In India, women are often blamed for any sexual assault they endure, at a systemic level. Cops will arrest you if you report it, and your father might well take vengeance into their own hands...against you, the victim.
hummm... You do know who this guy is for India and this problem now is in that country right ?
I like non-violent revolutions. What's on your mind ? Am I missing something ?
They're the knee-jerk "violence is never the answer" people who NEVER have any alternative that doesn't amount to "keep doing the things already being done because this topic makes me uncomfortable and I want to change the subject"
Sometimes, violence is very much the answer. It didn't have to be, but now it is.
The US schoolsystems have been brainwashing that shit into the compliant masses for decades. Just look at how the civil rights movement is covered. All about MLK and peaceful marches, sit ins etc. They barely talk about the bombings, the black Panthers carrying guns, the violence constantly done to demonstrators. Push how peaceful it all was.... Laughable.
Nothing changes without disruption. Sit ins have to be where you sit somewhere that messes with people's ability to do business. Protests have to be disruptive. People need to have to push through picket lines and feel uncomfortable doing it. It's easier for things to stay the same. So if you aren't forceful about it, they will.
Use of lethal force is a positive defense for homicide in all US states when one is under imminent threat of serious bodily injury and I am pretty sure rape falls under that. This law comes from common law so I wonder if India also inherited this from England?
