Needless ?
Offensive ?
Shameful ?
Insulting ?
All of the above.
The convict preaches us. "During rape the girl shouldn't fight back"
And this is courtesy BBC .Great mission achieved according to them -the world wil know a rapist's mind.
Not only is it deplorable , it offends me.
So is this a great piece of journalistc venture? Definitely not. It is a shameless attempt to encash an incident that shook a nation .
Every woman I knew squirmed at the thought of what Nirbhaya faced . It was a feeling of intense pain . It was like every woman was raped on the bus that night. Tossed and mercilessly beaten even as she faced the worst humiliation in her short life .Many of us woke up in the middle of the night , shuddering at the thought of her agony. How they tore her apart , took brutality to a new level by attacking her every time she resisted. Her vagina was brutally mutilated. Soaked in blood they threw her off the bus .
In Safdarjung Hospital , as she fought the severe wounds and infection, her mother by her side , The braveheart just kept telling them, everything will be fine .
I saw her mother go hysteric . She would not allow any male cleaner / staff come close to her daughter's bed . Agony soaked tears never stopped flowing.
Nirbhaya wanted Justice . She wanted death for her rapists.
She breathed her last in Singapore .
For the first time an entire city was out on the streets and a Government was cornered on woman safety. I remember, from MOS Home to the Delhi Police Commissioner, sounding frantic and desperate for a solution to the deadlock everytime I talked to them about their next step . Day after day, relentlessly people pursued the cause . India Gate was becoming an uncontrollable situation for the Govt. Finally, the Govt was forced into taking action.
Two years later Nirbhaya's mother still awaits justice, a rarity in Indian courts and specially if you want it to be on time .
Aghast at the convicted rapist's interview she breaks down saying "My daughter has been raped again . This man laughs at us in the courts everytime he comes for the hearing and people are taking his interview ? I dont get dates in the court , I am still waiting to see them punished and they will show his interview ! Are these journalists ?"
Frankly , She is right in putting forth this question . Mukesh mocks us with this interview. His mind is no rocket science. His views being considered, is what is shocking . BBC knows its a story that has an emotional connect to Indians and this documentary will be seen out of sheer shock and anger . What they probably dint see was a ban . But here it is . A ban on a shameless attempt to make a buzz/hype around a story of Emotional connect . It is a ban on the right to mock a million Indians in the name of journalism . When Nirbhaya was desperately fighting death to live her dreams of a Physiotherapist, her version , her agony was left to the imagination . She died with her dreams , before She could tell the world what Mukesh / any other convict did to her. Her recorded statement before the magistrate is yet to get her justice in Indian courts and courtesy BBC , We get to read the rapists mind .
Not needed.
I take offence, BBC.
