India has banned this
documentary Film done by the BBC on the rape of young Indian girl and NOT
PAKISTANI GIRL, in December two years back. This ban is confined only to India
and not outside India because Indian jurisdiction is applicable only in India
and not to the land of BBC and as such BBC and other sovereign countries are
free to act the way they want. And BBC land has already acted the way it
wanted by telecasting this film from where the interested persons thru U-Tube distributed everywhere. I saw it last night on 5th
midnight and I found nothing wrong in it nor derogatory nor anti-Indian. On the contrary I found it very informative
and educative that gives a very good lesson for the would be rape victims.
According to the
Documentary, the victim girl was so ferociously resisted this rape that she
even slapped one of the accused to prevent him from touching her body that
angered the rapists more. While in the
beginning immediately after entering the Bus, one of the accused asked the
victim girl why she is so late and that too with the boy. Infuriated by this poser, the girl answered bluntly that insulted the
accused. This was the flashpoint on the
part of the accused to take the law into their own hands violently.
The lesson to learn
here is: “never to antagonize your perpetrator" or rapist because he is possessed
by animal power which by all means he will apply to put you into submission even
by maiming your body or killing you. For
this reason Gorge Bernard Shaw remarked wittily thus, “When rape is
unavoidable, the girl should just lie down and enjoy”. If there is resistance
then there is no surety of avoiding neither rape nor physical assault.
There was uproar in the
Parliament in India by the ruling party and more by the Home Minister against
this Documentary citing an excuse that it is defaming India’s image abroad. But in reality, the image of
India is already destroyed beyond repairs by the nonsensical decisions taken by
the BJP government, namely harassment for minorities especially for Christians,
Ghar Wapsi, Non-Fulfillment of promises made before the last general election
by Modi, break-down of Law and Order etc.
In the eyes of foreigners the image of India is already tarnished for
this reason during his last visit to India, president Obama rapped Indian gontvernment
for its harassment for minorities, meaning Christians because when Christians are
hurt naturally the West is hurt because West is dominated by the
Christians. That has finally made Modi
to assure the minorities in general and Christians
in particular all the protection of the government.
The value of India in
the eyes of foreigners one comes to know when an Indian travelling abroad hands
over his Passport to the Emigration officer who in many cases accepts it with disdain and ugly
looks and not thru the telecast of BBC Documentary. By suppressing the release of BBC Documentary
in India, the government of India suppressed the democratic rights of its
citizens. This is a murder of Democracy
of the type of Emergency rule of Indira Gandhi.
I cannot accept the fact that BJP government can stoop to so low to ban
this film just as Congress government banned the “Satanic Verses” of Sulman
Rushdie. BJP government is acting worse
than Congress. For this reason, all the
freedom loving Indians must start the movement to unseat BJP governments not
only at the Centre but even in the States including Goa. Seeing all these suppressions, I feel Emergency Rule is on the way.
