Mass protests against rape are happening in India ... or do you think those are just a hype?
Watch the BBC documentary ... the villains (in jail) say 'they will do it again without hesitation'. Prominent figures (inc a lawyer iirc) in India have been on media justifying rape. All that fake too?
Amir Khan has done programs on rape, seen those? Rape is such a major issue in India that you have dedicated programs to change the culture.
So which part of this is so hard for you to understand that if it were a cultural problem, we Indians wouldn't be talking about it, protesting or making documentaries to improve on what's happening?!
AGAIN..IF rape is a cultural problem, we would have just gone on with our lives and brushed it under the carpet.
So am I to assumed that since the Mukhtar Mai's real life case didn't result in any protests that it is the standard operating procedure in Pakistan?!
Yes, Indian govt can be accused of not having harsher laws to deter rapists or providing better policing. That I can stand with you on!
I will also stand with you on the fact that in some part, Bollywood has contributed to the objectification of women.
But in NO WAY will I have you accusing Indian culture of promoting rape. Because then you're opening up a can of worms that will result in a lot of Indians shoving the mirror in Pakistan's face!
Well for that one has to assume if Bollywood is a mouthpiece of a government or a country. It is not a reflection of the state. Because of the diversity India provides or anyone who has a check on the financial readings.
You and I both know that Bollywood is independent. It is not state controlled media.
So this point is moot.
The usage of selling point means that there still a women needs saving by a man.
Really?!!!
I mean you Pakistanis live in the "Islamic" republic of Pakistan.
Let me not get into the role of women in Islam, state sponsored nonetheless.
Listen, we can sit here and go full freud on why a script had "rape" in it...I'm sure we can get creative with it as well. But the simple answer is that rape has NEVER been glorified in Indian movies! PERIOD!
I can challenge you to show me otherwise.
And there are several movies where the woman protagonist takes revenge on her violators. Trust me, that theme has also been explored. But when one is wearing myopic glasses with a fixed agenda as is the case with the poster that started this trash, its hard to see anything else.
That is disturbing if you ask me. Like there is a mental limit to our thinking.
Like in Hollywood feminist would happily have a male rape movie as well i assume lol.
Or the gay community has one on its version.
One of the most disturbing movies I ever saw was a French film called "Irreversible" with Monica Bellucci.
I suggest you give it a view. Only because the theme of the movie deals with rape, but more importantly about the fact that it is usually Power and not lust that drives rape.
Its a recurring theme in most rape cases (barring date rapes or domestic abuse/rape)
And if you truly want to have a discussion on the matter of why rape is becoming a problem in India or Pakistan, you should start with the fact that we are such male dominated societies with ridiculous egos and then pepper in the influence power plays in the mix.
Someday when I have more time, I will break down the Nirbhaya rape case to get behind the psychology of it.
