VOICEOVER On 16th
December 2012, at around 8:30pm, a 23-year-old medical student was on her way
home from a movie with a male friend. The couple boarded a private bus which
claimed to be going their way. Her friend was badly beaten and she was
dragged to the back, where she was gang-raped by 6 men as the bus drove round

is raped in India every 20 minutes. VOICEOVER But

India is mentality. The differences between a girl and a boy are created in
people's minds from birth. In society, if we hear the same things about boys

should not go out”. "She shouldn't roam around so late or wear such

this. They shouldn't do this. SUBTITLE ML SHARMA They left our Indian culture. They were under the

had gone for a wedding. That was my first time. After that it never happened

you want to keep that diamond in your hand. If you put your diamond on the street, certainly the dog
will take it out. You can't stop it. |

SUBTITLE ML SHARMA VO You are talking about man and woman as friends. Sorry,
that doesn't have any place in our society. SUBTITLE ML SHARMA A woman means I immediately put the sex in his eyes. We have the best culture. In our culture, there is no
place for a woman. SUBTITLE MUKESH The 15 or 20 minutes of the incident, I was driving the
bus. MUKESH
VO They switched off the light. My brother was the main guy. They hit the boy and he just hid between the seats. The girl was screaming, "Help me! Help me!" My brother said, "Don't stop the bus. Keep driving!" They hit
her and dragged her to the back. Then they went turn by turn. First the juvenile and Ram Singh. After that, Akshay and
the rest went. Someone put his hand inside her and pulled out something
long... MUKESH (VO) It was her intestines SUBTITLE MUKESH (VO) He said, "She's dead. Throw her out quickly." SUBTITLE MUKESH First they tried the back door, but it didn't open. So they dragged her to the front. SUBTITLE MUKESH (VO) They threw her out. My drunk state wore off completely. I couldn't even
control the steering. I only drove the bus. SUBTITLE MUKESH It's lies that my brother or Akshay took the steering.
Only I drove. People say this happened, that happened, that the driver was
changed. Show me how we changed drivers and I'll accept I also went to the back and killed her. SUBTITLE MUKESH VO We went straight home. They were saying, "Where's their stuff?" It was in the front. The mobile, the watch. Pawan put the shoes on. Akshay put the jacket on. They wore the stuff. They had no fear. And on the way,
the juvenile said, "Sir, I threw it away." "What I pulled out of her body. I threw it
away." "I wrapped it in cloth and threw it out." We reached home in about 10 minutes. We agreed no one
would say anything, and if the police got involved, no one would name names.
There was a lot of blood. Blood on the seats, blood on the floor. Akshay and the juvenile both cleaned the bus. SUBTITLE MUKESH (VO) Vinay had a lot of blood on his hands. He washed them at
my house. I went to sleep. LEILA SETH (VO) The rape was extremely brutal… LEILA SETH …and it's something very unusual to find that you not
only rape the girl but you put an iron rod and take out her entrails. I mean,
this is something I can't understand.
What kind of human beings are these who do something like that? SUBTITLE MUKESH I can't say why this incident this accident - happened. Mainly to teach them a lesson. MARIA The idea of the gang rape is to send a message: You are not to breach this boundary. This is a boundary
between us and you to do with power. SUBTITLE ML SHARMA He would like to create a damage. He will put his hand - insert!
Hit! It is just like that kind of action. Beat him! Putting
his hand forcefully inside. . SUBTITLE DR
SANDEEP GOVIL The main mental set-up is, "It's our right. We are
just in enjoyment mode and everybody has a right to enjoyment." "Big
people, you know, somebody who has money, do it by payment." "We
have the courage, so we do it by our courage." That's what they feel. SUBTITLE MUKESH My brother has done such things before, But this time his intention was not to rape or fight. He had the right to explain to them. SUBTITLE MUKESH (VO) He asked the boy why he was out with a girl so late at
night. The boy said, "It's none of your business," and slapped him.
There was fighting, beating. Those who raped, raped. SUBTITLE MUKESH They thought that if they do ‘wrong things’ with them, then they won't tell anyone. Out of shame. They would learn a lesson. MARIA Before this event, there was still a very, very strong culture of shame
around rape. That to be raped was deeply shaming. That to be raped was worse than to be dead, in fact. And so you would get politicians saying the most
extraordinary things about rape victims, that it was better that a rape
victim had died because had she lived she would be a walking corpse. SUBTITLE MUKESH When being raped, she shouldn't fight back. She should
just be silent and allow the rape. Then they'd have dropped her off after ‘doing her’, and only hit the boy. SUBTITLE RAJ KUMAR On 16 December, it was very cold. I was patrolling in
this area. SUBTITLE RAJ KUMAR I heard a voice from the left screaming, "Help!
Help!" I saw a boy and girl lying on the ground, naked. Both
were here. SUBTITLE RAJ KUMAR I went to Hotel 37 and got a bed sheet and a bottle of water. I tore the bed sheet
into 2 and gave the girl and the boy a piece each. About 30-35 men gathered, but no one helped. I even said, "Please help," but
no one stepped forward. SUBTITLE RAJ KUMAR (VO) After some time, a PCR van arrived and they were taken to
the hospital. She looked like a cow looks after giving birth to a calf. SUBTITLE BADRI (VO) She would always let us know if she was running late. Her
phone was not connecting. Then the call came from Safdarjung hospital. SUBTITLE RASHMI AHUJA At around 11:30pm, she was brought to the gynae casualty room
by the police constables. She was bleeding very much from her vagina. So,
definitely she was scared. SUBTITLE RASHMI (VO) She was conscious, but she was not sobbing out of her
pain. She was describing everything in clear detail. She was slapped on her face, she was kicked on her
abdomen. And she had multiple injuries over her body, over her private parts. SUBTITLE RASHMI There were multiple bite marks over her face, over her
lips, over her limbs. SUBTITLE ASHA The surgeon said, "I've been practising for 20
years." "We have not come across a case like this." "The
system by which the human body functions is all gone." He said, "We
do not know which parts to join." SUBTITLE BADRI They said, "She will not survive more than 2 to 3
days." Given what’s happened it's hard to believe she's survived." "We do not understand how she is alive." SUBTITLE ASHA She saw me and started to cry. I told her not to worry, everything would be alright. I said, "Whatever happens, we are with you." NEWSREADER (VO) A young woman was gang-raped on a moving bus in Delhi last night. It
was the kind of brazen attack that explains why Delhi, our national capital,
has been called India's rape capital. SUBTITLE PRAMOD KUSHWA (VO) We were able to arrest the first accused. We were able to identify the bus
within a time span of 24 hours. SUBTITLE PRAMOD KUSHWA (VO) We checked all the hotels along the route. And in one of the hotels, there was one
particular camera which was facing towards the road. In the CCTV footage of that camera, we noticed that there
was a bus PRAMOD KUSHWA which had crossed that area twice, which was unusual for
a bus which was going on a highway. PRAMOD KUSHWA (VO) Under closer examination of that bus, we came to know
that this bus was a school bus. These were the clues through which we were
able to narrow down our search to 50-60 such buses. SUBTITLE PRATIBHA SHARMA (VO) We got information that near the temple at Ravidas camp,
RK Puram PRATIBHA SHARMA (VO) the bus in which this incident took place was parked. I
went there with my team and found the bus and the accused Ram Singh was in the bus. The moment we spotted the bus, he jumped
down and started running. We arrested him and he admitted his offence. SUBTITLE PRATIBHA SHARMA (VO) 4 out of the 6 men were staying in the Ravidas camp. SUBTITLE PRATIBHA SHARMA (VO) Pawan and Vinay. Mukesh and Ram Singh. SUBTITLE PRAMOD KUSHWA The whole idea was that the case was so brutal that
conviction, if it is earlier, it is much better. It gives a good message to society. SUBTITLE KAVITA KRISHNAN Most of us heard about the case very soon after it
happened, on December 17, the very next day. And almost immediately, the
students of the Jawaharlal Nehru University. SUBTITLE KAVITA KRISHNAN (VO) There’s a very powerful student union. And student
movement there. So student organisations. And the union from there
immediately came out on the streets to protest on the same day. MARIA (VO) Happening to a young woman who represented a symbol of
new aspiration sent shockwaves through the society. In the last 15-20 years,
the economy has changed a lot in India and it's created opportunities for young women and single
women to come and work. And it's raised expectations across a range of classes of young, single women of how they
should be allowed to live their lives. LEILA SETH There are many gang rapes that take place in India and they've been taking place over the years. But somehow this caught the imagination of people. For one thing, it happened in the capital city. It
happened in an evening hour, which was not a late hour, 8 o'clock, a young
girl and boy returning home from a movie. I mean, it was the most normal kind of behaviour. FEMALE PROTESTOR We will raise our voice and take our freedom. Freedom! Freedom! Freedom! Freedom! MALE PROTESTOR Tell our comrades we will fight! We will fight! We will
fight! FEMALE PROTESTOR Give Justice to Manorama Devi. Give justice to Nilofer
and Asiya. Give justice to Soni Sori! SUBTITLE PRAMOD KUSHWA Almost all the resources of this district, I'd say the strength of more than 2,000
persons, they were commanded by the special investigation team. And
everything was put into this case. PRAMOD KUSHWA (VO) There was one juvenile in conflict with the law who was
subsequently arrested on the 21st. JUVENILE’S MOTHER
(VO) We woke up in the morning. JUVENILE’S MOTHER The police came here. They said, "Your son has been
caught, he has done such and such." He'd been gone for 3 years. I
thought he had died somewhere. When the police came, I found out that he's
still alive. SUBTITLE PRAMOD KUSHWA (VO) There was another accused, Akshay, who had fled to Bihar. SUBTITLE PRAMOD KUSHWA (VO) There was another accused, Akshay, who had fled to Bihar. SUBTITLE PRAMOD KUSHWA (VO) So he was arrested from Bihar on 21 December. SUBTITLE AKSHAY THAKUR’S
FATHER The police told us to surrender him or the family will be
destroyed. SUBTITLE AKSHAY THAKUR’S
FATHER (VO) I surrendered him at the police station. SUBTITLE PUNEETA DEVI I am sure my husband would not do such a thing. SUBTITLE PUNEETA DEVI (VO) Bad times will pass. SUBTITLE PROTESTORS (VO) Wake up! Wake up! SUBTITLE PROTESTOR 1 We won't tolerate rape! SUBTITLE PROTESTOR 2 Long live woman's freedom, your freedom, my freedom! SUBTITLE KAVITA KRISHNAN Immediately, almost from day one, it had stopped being
about this case alone. SUBTITLE KAVITA KRISHNAN (VO) It had become about rape culture and about women's
generalised anger against being told that they could do something to actually remain safe. SUBTITLE PRAMOD KUSHWA (VO) It's a very safe city. SUBTITLE PRAMOD KUSHWA Absolutely safe city. Very safe city. As safe as any
other capital of a developing - developed - country. Safe in a general
sense, and even safe for women. SUBTITLE KAVITA KRISHNAN It's always difficult to tell why one particular case, and why... It's like a dam
bursting. It doesn't happen out of one case alone. I think it's an
accumulated anger that bursts out. USHA SAXENA I think our pain united all of us. And I think there
wasn't one single woman on that day who didn't actually feel the
pain that girl had gone through. So that is what brought us out on the streets. It was gut-wrenching pain. SHAMBAVI SAXENA I painted a bunch of placards just saying "Women,
take back your city". Nothing - not inciting violence or anything. We were walking down to India Gate
and we got accosted by a truck full of policemen saying, "You can't go
here, it's not allowed." SHAMBAVI SAXENA (VO) They just decided, "We're not going to let these
women question us any more." "It's not their place to do
that." So we decided to challenge them. We decided, you know... We've
got civil rights. You can't just stop us from going anywhere. That's one of
the freedoms that's granted to us constitutionally. And then things got ugly.
They started pulling and dragging and shoving us into a van, saying,
"We're putting you in lock-down now." USHA SAXENA (VO) My husband tells me I am stupid because I go and protest
without bothering about the consequences. But that day… USHA SAXENA …was a slap in my face. I really thought that if you’re an educated woman, and if
you’re courageous and you’re outspoken, really, what can the police do? USHA SAXENA (VO) It was a completely peaceful protest, and then, within 20
minutes, it turned into a war zone. LEILA SETH They went out day after day, protesting. It just showed
that they wanted change. They believed that change would take place. LEILA SETH (VO) It was the first time that young people had gone out to protest, without a leader,
without being called by any political party. And the media was all over the
young people's protest. They, day by day, showed how they were protesting and I think that the government was then forced into setting up a committee to try and calm things down a bit. MARIA MISRA (VO) The Verma Report was a special judicial committee charged by the
government of India with … MARIA MISRA ….canvassing all opinion about how the problem of rape
could be dealt with. MARIA MISRA (VO) And 80,000 responses were sifted through by this group of
ex senior judges. It was a landmark report and MARIA MISRA (VO) …it was striking in its extreme liberalism. It made a
number of very important
recommendations. MARIA MISRA (VO) For instance, that things must happen much faster in the Indian judicial system, MARIA MISRA the definition of sexual assault needed to be broadened, that
the language of modesty and shame needed to be removed from the Indian Penal
Code. GOPAL SUBRAMANIUM This was not just about rape and an amendment to a criminal law. We 3 were very
determined that we are not going to let down society. GOPAL SUBRAMANIUM Offences against women was a part of the story. The full
story needed to be told. We felt that we would fail that fantastic civil society which gathered around India Gate with candles if we did
not tell them the true story. LEILA SETH (VO) The constitution provides for equality LEILA SETH It hasn't happened because the men don't allow it to
happen and they feel that that's their hold on women and also it's because of the historical tradition of patriarchy which has been,
over the years, embedded into men and into women. MARIA MISRA There are a whole range of indicators that women are not
well treated. Short of rape, there is high incidence of acid attacks, a high incidence of domestic beatings.
There is of course the extraordinary question of the sex ratio differential
in India, i.e. the notion that there are missing women, demographically
speaking, which seems to reflect a number of things, but possibly
pre-birth sex selection and foeticide. LEILA SETH In Maharashtra, in Bombay, once when they discovered that there were 10,000 foetuses that had been destroyed,
9,999 were female foetuses The conversation to deal with inequality was overdue in
India. GOPAL SUBRAMANIUM Everyone was there, out in the open, demanding justice, demanding
accountability. And when you do demand accountability, establishments do feel highly threatened. GOPAL SUBRAMANIUM
(VO) They first thought that this was a movement which can be
dispersed by use of teargas shells or hosepipes. But extraordinary were these protesters. MARIA MISRA (VO) And the protests kept coming, kept escalating and
escalating, not just in Delhi, but also in Kolkata and Bangalore and Mumbai. MARIA MISRA This was something that was actually quite qualitatively
different. I really couldn't recall an event like this in India before. GOPAL SUBRAMANIUM This was, in my view, a very important and momentous expression of hope by
civil society. SUBTITLE ASHA SINGH Her condition deteriorated. SUBTITLE ASHA (VO) We were by her side but were helpless to do anything. This is what hurts me so deeply and it's something I
always remember. NEWSREADER VO (starts
on shot of Asha) Late last night, an ambulance took off for… NEWSREADER (VO) Singapore with the girl. She’s at the Mount Elizabeth Hospital, one of the best hospitals in the world for trauma
management and organ transplant. SONIA GANDHI We just... Our only wish today is that she recovers and
that she comes back to us. SUBTITLE ASHA SINGH But I knew she would not recover. Because the doctor had
said that she will not be okay. SUBTITLE BADRI For a father who once upon a time let his baby girl sleep
over him, who held her in his arms and played with her, who held her finger
and taught her to walk, to have set fire to that daughter during cremation by
his very hands. This is very difficult. The most difficult. When I remember this moment, I'm unable to speak. Words just don't come out. SUBTITLE ASHA We never realised how much we were attached to her. But
since she's left us we've no idea how to start life again. Where to start
from. SUBTITLE MUKESH I know nothing about her. Now the papers say she was a medical student so I'm
getting to know. SUBTITLE SATENDRA Once she went to the market with her friends. A 10 or
12-year-old boy tried to snatch her purse and run away. SUBTITLE SATENDRA (VO) But a policeman caught him and started beating him. Jyoti stopped the policeman from beating him. She said, "This child will learn
nothing from this." She asked the boy, "Why did you do this?" He said, "I also want new clothes like you people, I
want shoes." "I want a hamburger." Jyoti bought him everything
he wanted. And she said, "Promise me you won't do this again." AMOD KANTH (VO) This country has huge problems. SUBTITLE AMOD KANTH A country which is so proud of itself today, a country
which claims to be the fourth largest economy, one of the most powerful countries
in the world, you know. SUBTITLE AMOD KANTH (VO) 50% of India's population living almost below poverty line, living a life which is
not worth living. Now, because we run a home for juveniles, that happens to
be where the Juvenile Justice Board, the children's court, was situated. So
one had an opportunity to know what exactly was behind this child. This boy
was like millions of Indian children who are street children, toiling to survive,
sometimes working in a ‘dhaba’, that is, a small tea shop, sometimes working
on a bus. And then whatever happened after that, in their company, this gang
rape took place, and he was party to it. This boy, in my opinion, did not
have any serious aberrations. This boy had suffered endless misery in life.
He was a child in need of care and protection, SUBTITLE AMOD KANTH (VO CONT) where the family couldn't look after the child. And the
child, at the age of 11, drifted and ran away from home. And was a typical
profile of a child who had to be like this in a way. SUBTITLE JUVENILE’S MOTHER
(VO) I am a labourer in farming. If we get work, we work. Now in rain like this, what work will we get? I have two
daughters who are labourers and bring some food home. Nothing has been
cooked. We are surviving on tea since morning. SUBTITLE JUVENILE’S MOTHER His brain is off. SUBTITLE JUVENILE’S MOTHER VO He lost his mind and became mad. SUBTITLE JUVENILE’S MOTHER VO The dishes haven't been washed. No point. There's nothing to eat. SUBTITLE JUVENILE’S MOTHER He left home aged 11. SUBTITLE JUVENILE’S MOTHER (VO) No one would employ a child as a labourer, so he started washing dishes at a hotel. He used to make 300 to 400 rupees a month. SUBTITLE JUVENILE’S MOTHER VO He said, "Mum, what can I do?" "I can't
stay here. I need to feed your stomachs." SUBTITLE JUVENILE’S MOTHER How could we know that the gangsters of Delhi would get
him and take him away from us? A child is just a child. SUBTITLE KALYANI What can a hungry person do? We are by birth: poor, and
helpless. SUBTITLE KALYANI (VO) We were labourers and saved what money we could to raise
them. SUBTITLE MUKESH I never used to go to school. I just used to roam around. SUBTITLE MUKESH (VO) My heart wasn't in it. My elder brother used to beat me
when I was a child. He is an electrician. He would give me electric shocks if
he found me roaming around and to stop me doing wrong. Beating and violence
has become the story of every house. DR SANDEEP GOVIL (VO) They all actually came from a very deprived condition, DR SANDEEP GOVIL where their surroundings are not a very good place, and
overcrowding. It's a very common scene, that women have been tortured and
beaten, or sexually abused by their male partners or husbands. And they have
seen prostitution also running in their area, in the neighbourhood area also.
So it's not very new things to them. And that's what actually makes them
again and again surprised that "Why we?" SUBTITLE KALYANI Oh, my son. Oh, my Ram. NEWSREADER (VO) Ram Singh, one of the prime accused in the gruesome
December 16 gang rape of a 23-year-old girl allegedly committed suicide in a
special cell in Tihar Jail this morning. The incident took place in jail
number three at around 5:45am. SUBTITLE BADRI (VO) To call them human is to give humanity a bad name. SUBTITLE BADRI If we call them monsters, even monsters have some limits.
These are totally the devil. They went beyond all limits of evil. Even the
devil himself couldn't commit such a terrible crime SUBTITLE GOPAL Nobody is a monster that he is excluded from society.
After all, any society which has these rapists has to take responsibility for
them. And this is the first thing which the feminist scholars who came before
the Verma Committee said, that these are our people, these men are ours. SUBTITLE DR SANDEEP GOVIL I would say as a psychiatrist that they are actually
normal human beings with anti-social traits in them, which actually
manifested very badly at that time. SUBTITLE DR SANDEEP GOVIL (VO) They have been doing such crimes and easily been getting
away with that. So that whenever they feel there is a chance they could trap
a woman, they do it. There are people in jail who have done 200 rapes and
been only punished for about 12. They say they only remember 200. They might
be doing more. That's the state of affairs. And they say that it's been
happening and that it's a "man right". They don't think of the
other person as a human being. The negative cultural values about women are
also very, very important in this type of act. SHEILA DIXIT If you come from a family where things like this are seen
by those who are growing up, they tend to look at it very differently. They
say, "Oh, well, my sister was given less milk than I am." "I’m
given a whole glass of milk because everybody in the family thinks that I am
the boy and I must get more energy." "And my sister's just given a little bit of
milk." Or, "She eats last of all." SHEILA DIXIT (VO
CONT) Now these are society's practices which somehow get
embedded in the mind. So, many of our people grow up thinking that a girl is
less important than a boy is. SHEILA And because she's less important, you can do what you
like with her. NEWSREADER (VO) The verdict from the Juvenile Justice Board was delivered a short while ago on the juvenile charged with the gang rape of India's Daughter. This young boy who was
17 years and 6 months at the time of the crime has been given the maximum
sentence allowed for a juvenile. That is a person who is under 18 years. He
will serve just three years in a special home. NEWSREADER (VO) He will serve just three years in a special home. SUBTITLE BADRI (VO) We are hurt and shocked … SUBTITLE BADRI (VO) that the juvenile will be freed after committing such a
huge crime. SUBTITLE BADRI We are like a bird whose wings have been cut. We cannot
fly. We live with fear and anxiety. SUBTITLE ASHA If the law thinks it is right to marry a girl at the age
of 12 or 13, then a 15-16 year old boy who rapes or harms a girl, why can't
he be punished? SUBTITLE PROTESTORS Hang the rapists! Hang them! Hang them! Hang the rapists!
Hang them! Hang them! SUBTITLE AP SINGH There are a number of criminal cases of murder, robbery,
rape pending against approximately 250 members of parliament. Sitting members of parliament. But their cases are not
being tried in fast-track courts. Their case is not tried based on day-to-day
hearing. Why? If you want to give a message to society against rape, against
robbery, against murder, then you should start from your own neck. SUBTITLE AMOD Public opinion should not become the reason for any kind
of conviction or even death sentence at times. I don't think we belong to that kind of social order, or
that kind of country. India is not that kind of country. Many countries are
like that. "Hang the person on the pole." "Kill the man
straight away." "Cut his hands, throw him away." That kind of
thing doesn't happen in this country. It's a democratic country. And a very
liberal country from that point of view. We have very rich traditions of
tolerance also. So probably, from that point of view, the present demand for
death sentence in many cases is not in the spirit of India's history. SUBTITLE MUKESH (VO) People say, when you hang they put this... on your neck.
The eyes pop out, the tongue sticks out, that's what they say. SUBTITLE MUKESH (VO CONT) They've made this such a big issue. People have committed
bigger crimes and nothing has happened to them. In Barabanki after the
rape, her eyes were taken out. Sometimes they put acid on girls. There was
another rape where they burnt her alive. Wasn't that wrong? If ours is wrong,
then that was wrong, too. SUBTITLE PROTESTORS Hang them! Hang them! Hang the juvenile also! Hang them! Hang them! Hang the rapists! Hang them! NEWSREADER (VO) At 2:30 this afternoon, NEWSREADER (VO) unemployed Mukesh Singh, bus cleaner Akshay Thakur, gym instructor Vinay Sharma and fruit seller Pawan Gupta
were sentenced to death. NEWSREADER (VO) The court declared this to be the rarest of rare cases that warranted the death penalty NEWSREADER (VO) and stated that gruesome crimes against women have become
rampant. SUBTITLE NEWSREADER (VO) Defence lawyer AP Singh has reacted to the sentencing in
a way that has exposed the mentality that is perhaps the biggest hurdle in
the fight for giving women the respect they deserve. SUBTITLE AP SINGH If my daughter or sister engaged in pre-marital
activities and disgraced herself and allowed herself to lose face and
character by doing such things, I would most certainly take this sort of
sister or daughter to my farmhouse, and in front of my entire family, I would
put petrol on her and set her alight. SUBTITLE AP SINGH This is my stand. I still today stand on that reply. SUBTITLE PUNEETA DEVI (VO) Am I not a daughter of this country? Don't I have the
right to live? SUBTITLE PUNEETA DEVI Will there be no more rapes in in Delhi? Will you hang
all rapists? A woman is protected by her husband. If he's dead, who will
protect her and for whom will she live. I also don't want to live. Priyanshu,
my son, is a child. He understands nothing. I will strangle him to death. What
else can I do? SUBTITLE MUKESH The death penalty will make things even more dangerous
for girls Now when they rape, they won't leave the girl like we did. They
will kill her. Before, they would rape and say, "Leave her, she won't
tell anyone." Now when they rape, especially the criminal types, they
will just kill the girl. Death. SUBTITLE KALYANI We hoped he would support us in old age, after all our
pain to raise him. Isn't this why everyone raises children? If nothing else,
at least he'd perform our last rites and burn our dead body. Look at my fate,
to have to see him burnt to ashes. SUBTITLE BADRI (VO) When I saw them, they had no fear in their eyes, no
shame. SUBTITLE BADRI (CONT) No remorse at all for what they had done. SUBTITLE SATENDRA Those who commit heinous crimes have no remorse
afterwards. The law will punish them, and must do so, or they'll be fearless.
But if one monster is removed, will the society change? No. The people of this society and their mindset need to
change. LEILA SETH The only way you can change things is education because
education gives a girl self-importance, self-worth. And it also teaches young
men the value of the woman. MARIA Her death has made a huge difference. I think that, first
of all, it has really brought home the issue of the problems of the way young and independent women are perceived
in Indian society. It's opened up a debate in India that I think hasn't been
held publicly and widely about exactly what the relationship between men and
women should be. LEILA SETH These things will change. It's only a question of how
hard we push. And I think that if the young people are going to push, we're
going to get it. SUBTITLE BADRI (VO) Our daughter's name is Jyoti Singh. We have no problem in
revealing her name. In fact, we are happy to reveal it. Jyoti has become a
symbol. In death, she has lit such a torch that not only this country, but
the whole world, got lit up. But at the same time, she posed a question. What
is the meaning of ‘a woman’? How is she looked upon by society today? And I
wish that whatever darkness there is in this world should be dispelled by
this light. SUBTITLE ASHA (VO) The last thing that she said to me, she took my hands in
hers and kissed them and said, "Sorry, Mummy. I gave you so much
trouble. I am sorry." The sound of her breathing stopped. And the lines on the monitor flattened. SUBTITLE BADRI (VO) This incident was a storm which came and went. And what
was there before it, and what will come after, this is what we need to see. |
