All coming back to religion again.
It is hard for some traditions to die such as the caste system or the dowry...despite it being banned in the country...these religious or cultural opinions about women still thrive but many clearly do not want their daughters/mothers to be treated with such brutality...nor allow men to make excuses for their behaviour...
I am interested why the government banned this documentary in the first place?...what are they afraid of?...
you are being adamant here so have it your own way
Not being biased here at all...feel free and watch the video and comment about its content...
Well...the blog is about having opinions and yours are welcome...and I agree with your comments...since we have much information regarding practices from all over the world...one does not have to be physically immersed in such practices to report about them...
Thanks for your comments...
You are showing your pea brain...by disrespecting this blog which intentions are to give voice to the victim in this video...remember it was banned in India...what part can you not understand?...as I said you are welcome on my blog if you have something to say pertaining to the documentary...this is not a forum for verbal assaults on fellow bloggers here...
I suspect that people are taking this documentary as personal property and the only ones allowed to comment are those from the country where the crime took place?...an embarrassment for sure...
As I have said before many people in India rioted due to the mistreatment and death of this women and others...clearly people want attitudes to change...
No one can tell you you cannot have an opinion...you have the right to voice your opinion...whether someone disagrees with it or not...name calling is unacceptable...
No name calling here...
The colonial days are over...India is free from it now...and regarding his opinion...I see no bad intentions here...you have pride which is good but please refrain from this name calling...why don't you give us a look into what the government of India is doing about the inequities of people...from the last conversation we had?...
First I responded to his derogatory reference about my country or its inhabitants because he was opinionated.
Then he called me names. Then tell me why shouldn't I react?
"Caesar's wife is not above suspicion. "
I still find it strange that you focus on the remarks of 1 or 2 individuals, directing your opinions in the wrong way..
You have three issues. Let me take one by one.
One, If I ever condemned this incident or not? So you didn't read carefully the comments of "loulou"
Two, that person? You or "loulou" have no idea that this person is prejudiced. And its my studied observation that he is self righteous. He makes an opinion and unscrupulously cling to it, A healthy mind, instead, thinks rationally before making or holding some opinion.
Three, Well I don't claim that India is at par with the developed nations. She can't be and shouldn't be expected to be. But she has a remarkable legacy regarding women respect which deteriorated with time. There are reasons and there is a history. But yes still the intent persists in content. And I don't brag but realistically, the majority favors the equality of women, in the order of 99%. Awakening is emerging and fastly growing.
If that comment was for me?...I am merely making sure that people remember to be civil...and the comments are directed so that people will stop making it a personal issue...as for the disrespect of that poor med student...I stated long ago it was opportunistic...she was treated as sub-human without going into the gory details...she was thrown from the bus with her friend after the rare and beating...left to die...that says it all about the disrespect to women in general...
The police may in fact be a problem turning a blind eye due to their own thoughts and feelings...they are now getting sensitivity training according to what I have read...not to mention more police patrolling the city...not sure about the rural areas...
In want of a fair deal
Lets put the person in question to rest...it is getting off topic...I was posting this documentary at your request...lol...
If I remember correctly, not too long ago I heard on the radio were India is starting to take more steps toward protecting women there.
It is nice that you brought this story forward. We are all human and we all deserve to be treated fairly.
Old ways or values die hard...but the lawyer was arguing the case for his client...so who knows what his real opinion is...but does send a pretty bad message for women's rights and freedoms...
im still in bed and need my coffe so i can put my thoughts together
Thanks for your comments...hard to change some people but with help...it can be done...but people who do not want to talk about it...it will take longer...I think that the story of this victim will make the government be more proactive in seeking justice for women since they have rioted...due to the ban on this documentary...fingers crossed...
Have that coffee and relax...hope your day is good...for me working night shift tonight...enjoying my time until then...
Also makes me angry that people can be so cruel-hearted and narrow minded. So what if she watched Life of Pi at night with her boyfriend?
Thanx for posting.
Thanks for posting this loulou and highlighting the issue again, it's interesting to see the true colours of some people emerging - name calling and quarreling when the topic is the misery of other people - but can't say I'm surprised.
Sad but true...her parents made a sacrifice for a better future...her parents received monies from the government for her death...not that it would ever replace her...can't imagine the heartache that family is going through...
You are one step away from being reported...if you have nothing to say regarding the documentary...be on your way...you have been warned...
Communication skills and manners are very much needed...lol...one doesn't have to resort to name calling to get a point across...hard to fathom that some here are taking this personally...I figured we are on the same side but some like to cause waves...
Thanks once again for your comments and kind words
Never owned a firearm...I am not afraid to go out at night but I do play it safe when going into unfamiliar areas...usually take my keys and wallet out of my purse...just in case I need to gouge someone's eyes out and save me the hassle of cancelling cards if my purse gets stolen...
You are right...there seems to be a backlash in the women's rights movement here in the west...I wonder why?...perhaps some men do feel entitled or maybe have a need/desire for control...
Always good to hear from you and I will continue posting such documentaries...
Gonna try watch it now
