+1 i can get incredibly defensive about my country & the skewed perception people have of it but man this is an issue that really really needs attention. it's a fact that women here deal w/ sexual harrassment a lot and it's not safe at all/the police is mostly incompetent (especially in north india) and if the negative attention prods the governnent into action i'm all for it
the country deserves every bit of shame and judgement for this. it is not about us who are not affected: "Let's not forget that the protest wasn't about how angry you are or the way you feel. It's not about you. It's about the 23 year old girl who comes from a family of modest means, whose daddy couldn't hire a driver for her, whose eyes lit up when she saw a bus that offered to drop her home."
i know it's useless and selfish or whatever but i just feel so sorry. like i just feel so, so sorry and i wish i could undo it all for her. all she wanted to do was watch a movie with her friend and look how we treated her.
