RE: My daughter's quest for justice
"Acceptable in my county"???
Did you just use this story as an excuse to attack India? A country about which you obviously know nothing?
Let me remind you that while women's reproductive rights are under threat in the West, India has some of the most progressive abortion laws in the world. Indian women are making strides in every field and in many areas, for example commercial aviation, they're doing better than Western women.
And rape and murder occur everywhere.
I'm sure you know where you can shove your racism.
Fine. We now know that you are proud of your homeland.
It's a fact. I consider the thirst for revenge to be an understandable human impulse, but vigilante justice to be just as reprehensible as the act itself. The death penalty, by the way, is just as reprehensible; I have already written about this elsewhere...
Rape, sexualised violence, assault... All over the world.
That's something I know from different women's rights initiatives and my Indian friends. Even if a society as a whole has become very progressive, there are still reactionary attitudes in which a woman is worth nothing. As far as I know, there are groups in India that believe they are in the right with such positions and that the judiciary does not put an appropriate stop to them.
A fact again. We are at the very beginning of our possibilities - the human being in itself is a perfect being. The only problem is socialisation... Our dealings with each other need to grow up.
If you want to see racism - I can't stop you.
