All 6 accused in the case of the TISS American student's rape, have been acquitted. If you haven't read it yet, go see the papers and look at the extremely smug grins on the boys' faces, boys from a privileged, rich, spoilt and indulged background. What a lesson they've learned. Justice is for sale.
Arguments presented in the favour of the accused are farcical. Case in point - calls made from the girl's phone while she was presumably unconscious. In the absence of facts, two conjectures, even I as a layperson can come up with - (a) that she tried while semi unconscious to dial numbers for help and (b) that the boys she was with made the calls. Regardless, this does not justify rape. How could she as one girl, hope to overpower 6 boys in a drugged state? Anyone in her place would've been scared stiff and submitted. But wait, she was unconscious. And just because she cannot testify due to that, she is privileged to see her rapists walk free. Great logic, right? And wow, guess what she did next. She went back to America during the trial. Now really, who would want to go back to home and hearth after being violated like this? She's clearly lying, right? Gimme a break.
Is there anyone who has been reading about the case who has any doubt about the guilt of boys who forced the girl to consume an I-pill next morning? Not me, that's for sure.
Yes, the girl was extremely dumb to "party" with 6 unknown and unfamiliar (to her) boys alone, as the only girl in the group. Us educated, sensible Indian girls don't do that - we already know the dangers. That's why we remain unmolested to date. In her defence, she was an American, trying to fit in. Still, does that mean that in India, you can get away with rape? Hell yeah! Makes me more than ashamed as a woman, and sorry to belong here.
What are we saying here? Anyone who goes to a flat with 6 boys deserves what she gets?
How comfortable are you knowing that 6 boys are out there, whom your innocent daughters could meet in the near future?
