Ban on #IndiasDaughter sees nationwide protests. Leslee Udwin’s documentary on the Nirbhaya rape case called India’s Daughter was banned in India. It was uploaded by BBC on You Tube and very soon it was removed from there too.

To protest against the move by the Indian Govt. to ban this documentary, a village in Agra screened this film.

As per reports, Roop Dhanu village in Anwalkheda screened the documentary on International Women’s Day.

The documentary showed the brutal truth but we have a tendency to turn a blind eye towards reality.

While channels were busy debating on whether the film should have revealed the real name of Nirbhaya or were finding flaws with the documentary, NDTV stuck to the ethics of journalism.

For mere TRPs, it was quite disturbing to see the debates on whether this film should be banned or not. Here the film pointed the grave realities that needed much more attention.

Fast track case is pending since years, lawyers give their regressive remarks and let us not even go as far as discussing the statements of the rapists.

This is a harsh truth that the Govt. decided to ban as it would lead the public to question establishments.

NDTV went blank for an hour to protest this ban. From 9pm to 10pm it ran a blank screen with a diya and the name of the documentary – India’s Daughter written on it.

Rahul Kanwal of ‘Headlines Today’ tweeted this about the ban:

Watched #IndiasDaughter Makes zero sense for Govt to ban film. Granting permission to shoot rapist is procedural issue. Doesn’t justify ban

Finally, the Bar council of India issued notices to the lawyers defending the accused of the case.

So for all those shouting what good has this documentary done? Well it unmasked the faces of our educated lawyers who have such regressive thoughts. The notices were issued, following the documentary.

M.L. Sharma and A.K. Singh were issued notices for their flowery statements decorated with diamonds!

#IndiasDaughter is a lesson for every Indian. It is a mirror of our regressive society.

Forget banning we should be thankful to Leslee Udwin for showing India’s image to the world. Did that hurt the ego?

Our country gets all defensive about our image. Well the so-called image was gone when we failed to protect our daughter. Every time a girl is raped in India our image is tarnished.

Banning is just a depressing move to silent the voice of the people and shoving away from the reality.

We have a tendency to turn a blind eye towards the harsh reality and moreover we have leading newspapers manipulating people about the ban.

TOI article reported that the victim’s father has taken a strong objection to making his daughter’s name public. How true this piece of report is clearly seen in NDTV’s interview where the parents openly talk about the film and how it has led to several discussions.

Times Now had a big debate on why the real name of Nirbhaya was revealed in the film. Arnab Goswami was more bothered about the revelation of the name than the real matter at hand.

Also isn’t it time that we take a stand against this mentality? Rape had always been linked to a woman’s modesty.

Shame is attached to the victim rather than the accused.

The names of the accused who did such a shameful act are nicely doing the rounds but we want to hide the name of the victim. What is so wrong if her father is proud of her and not ashamed to reveal her name?

Jyoti Singh (Nirbhaya) was not just a victim but also an aspiring doctor who had big dreams for the country. Why should this name be hidden?

It is very unfortunate that in our country we divert from the main issue to some unnecessary debate.

Yesterday I was reading articles supporting the film or there were debates on TV where people like Mr. Goswami took a dig at how the film flouted the rule.

I want to ask the entire team of Times Now that didn’t this film hit your conscience about how the case is still unsolved (moreover it was a fast track case).

This film instead of shaking that conscience is facing the debate whether public should see it or not. The establishment feels threatened as India’s Daughter has compelled India to wake up again.
