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 ?

It’s worse. There are cases of fathers preforming honor killings of the raped daughter.

The most likely person to rape a child is the father, followed by the brother, followed by the uncle/cousin/family friend.
Another peaceful revolution like the one from Mahatma Gandhi would be the best.
Why would that be best?

Just wondering why you liking non-violent revolutions implies that this would be best for India. What’s your reasoning behind that ?
I don’t have an expertise in this domain and it’s more a hope based on past history.
So, no more comments here from me.
Do you have something better ? if no, we will leave it at this.
Not in particular, just want to be making sure we’re all thinking critically rather than merely parroting middle school history
