Indian government should hang its head in shame: BBC filmmaker

[Mike_Brando]

Why is that a platform for him to share his views, he told people the truth, what is so wrong about telling people the truth, if its a worry that others will follow his path then your country has bigger problems that scapegoating this wont help.

Of course rape stats are low, I imagine the vast vast majority go unreported and who can blame them with attitudes that even some of the people on this forum share and they are people who I imagine are far more enlightened than the average street resident in Indias poor areas where these happen where religion and poverty are rampant. Rape stats are unreliable because of unreporting for reasons such as shame, family etc etc but in places like the UK rapes are often reported straight away because chances are, they can catch the rapist (someone I went to school with is currently in Jail after being caught the day after raping someone) and punish them. In India and similar countries where forensics, policing etc is weak then the chance of catching someone is really low and judging by some peoples views, the chances of being believed seem just as unlikely so of course rape stats are low, according to rape stats the UK only has a few thousand less rapes a year than a country 20 times the size of it which is of course flawed because rape is an issue in every country and you probably have similar percentages of men in each country who rape.

As usual, this is why its a problem, instead of discussing the problem its a discussion of "how dare the BBC broadcast this", if you dont like it dont watch it, its not offensive to any particular group unless you want to start claiming rapists have rights.

Rape isnt an Indian problem, its a world problem but just because India is being discussed does not mean its an attack on India and any discussion of rape should be sidelined to discuss why rapes are being discussed, just pushing the issue aside. If it gets people talking then its worked hasnt it? the discussion is on India, there are hundreds of documentaries each year in the UK attacking our own people/policies/celebrities/royalty and its no an issue, its a topic for discussion.

So why didn't she go ahead and made a documentary on the recent underage sex scandal of U.K. that had shocked the entire world!!Instead she tried to portray the problems of a foreign nation when her own nation is seriously suffering from one of the highest no. of rapes among the civilized western societies.There's an old saying that one should always try to find his/her fault first before starting to find others' faults.I would have sincerely appreciated her efforts had she done something similar about the existing problems of her own country but all she did was to stereotype the entire Indian culture of being supportive to female sexual harassment and physical abuses.
Ms.Leslie Udween's only intention in this case was to publicize her documentary and earn a hefty profit out of it.Her ulterior motive was to demean the entire Indian society in front of the whole world.

sadly, most indians excel in above kind of bland unthinking banal statements.

in that case, those evil colonials should take back the billions of dollars of aid they gave to independent india... why should colonial dollars taint us proud indians??



what does "the constitution" ( or actually you, its supposed advocate ) say about torturing ladies with iron rods and pulling out their intestines or starving laborers to death in this day and age while indian military seeks to exceed usa military in the retaining of number of weapons??

@rubyjackass i worry about the females in mike's life.

Buddy,you seriously don't have to worry about the women in my life as my culture teaches me to respect our womenfolk and behave accordingly.You should rather worry about the countless no. of atrocities that are currently happening on women in Libya

"honor killings" also happen in pakistan and afghanistan... let us not blame india alone.

the amaanat case was also one of horrific torture... that should be highlighted and not rape.

1. i again ask, why do many bhakts use americanisms like "buddy"??

2. i will not respond to the rest of that.

well, some of what happened in libya ( and syria ) in 2011 and later was what we saw in modi land in 2002... allow me to be authoritative on this, please.

Googling for her was a totally "O teri ...." moment.

Don't get personal, or else you would go b!tching to the mods.

Googling for her was a totally "O teri ...." moment.

i always felt that in the last 20 years, the south indian film industry had the best ( maal ) actresses... i never felt much connection to those like priyanka or karishma, though i liked raveena ( the "sheher ki ladki" ).

some recent actresses like ileana ( ufff ), tamanna ( a beauty ) and asin ( in her chubby days ) made their names in the south and then migrated north.

you should search for the beauties in the kerala film industry ( not that kind ... beauties... beauties.

though bombay now has sonakshi, huma and vidya.

i also like divya dutta and tanushree dutta.

Don't get personal, or else you would go b!tching to the mods.

before jumping on me, you should read his comments... please.

Do i have to remind you of Ms.Mukhtaran Mai or for that matter the countless no. of rapes that happen in your country!The funniest thing is that in most of the cases the victims can't even prove that they have been physically assaulted because your laws specifically ask for at least three witnesses in order to file a report of rape.Does your culture teaches you to treat women as slaves and commodities of sex
India Has A Rape Crisis, But Pakistan’s May Be Even Worse

Please give me names.

Tamanna I saw first in a tamil movie and was floored (transparent blue sari ....). But did not quite get the same magic in Himmatwala.

Because we love to follow the U.S.A. and look upto them as the undisputed global leader unlike you socialists who are always bitching about them for literally everything.Btw,why didn't you respond to the rest of my post!!

What did he said that made you drag females in his life into this discussion?

 

[jamahir]

Please give me names.
