India bans broadcast of gang-rapist documentary
115
NEW DELHI: An Indian court has banned the country's media from broadcasting a documentary in which one of the men who gang-raped and murdered a New Delhi student is shown blaming the victim, police said Wednesday.
Spokesman Rajan Bhagat said New Delhi police had obtained a court order late Tuesday banning anyone from broadcasting the documentary, called “India's Daughter”, on grounds of “objectionable content”.
“We have only seen the promotional parts of the film. Based on that we took the matter to court because we felt that it will cause likely apprehension of public disorder,” Bhagat told AFP. “It shows a very objectionable interview with the convicted rapist.“

Mukesh Singh, one of five men convicted over the 2012 attack in New Delhi, told British film-maker Leslee Udwin from his prison cell that the murdered student should not have been out at night, and blamed her for fighting back against her attackers.
Also read: 'Rape the girl, blame the girl'
Udwin, an award-winning British film-maker, said she was heart-broken by the ban on the documentary, in which Singh said the victim should not have been “roam(ing) around at 9 o'clock at night” and that “a girl is far more responsible for rape than a boy”.

“My heart is broken with this court order,” she told AFP by telephone. “The more they try to stop the film, the more they are going to pique people's interest. Now, everyone is going to want to see it. “
“India's Daughter” was due to be televised in seven countries, including India and Britain on Sunday, International Women's Day.
Udwin said earlier she had permission from both prison authorities and the home ministry to film inside the vast Tihar jail in Delhi for her documentary, which charts the aftermath of the fatal gang-rape.

The 23-year-old physiotherapy student, who cannot be named, died from her injuries 13 days after she was savagely attacked on a moving bus while on her way home from the cinema with a male friend on December 16, 2012.
The incident caused global outrage and triggered huge protests in India, highlighting the frightening level of violence against women in the world's second most populous country.
It also led to a major reform of India's rape laws, speeding up trials and increasing penalties.

Indian government is banning it to prevent facing the global embarrassment. Instead of seeking permission from the court to ban the film, they should have been more focused on fighting the case strongly against the convict and hang him as soon as possible. And similar comments have been passed publicly by many politicians and public figures too, why no judicial or criminal action has been taken against them. May be that documentary has recordings of those people too and that is why they are banning it.

Approx % of minority population in both East and West Pakistan at time of partition was 21%. West Pakistan had around 4% and East Pakistan around 17%. After 1971 Bangladesh inherited the majority while in West Pakistan (or current Pakistan) it was 4%. Since then the Muslim population has increased in Pakistan only because there are more Muslims. Now it's around 2.5% BUT it's not because minorities have been killed off as Indians like yourself try to peddle the myth.

This ban seems to indicate that the weaknesses in our culture that this film points out are indigestible for the authorities. It happens to be true that most of our male children are brought up with perceptions that are similar in direction if not in intensity.
From a different perspective this film will almost certainly be available on youtube in a reasonably short time. This should make us think twice about banning it. The impact of banning it would probably be to encourage many more to see it - which is not a bad idea in itself.
I wonder whether we should also be banning the Home Ministry for permitting 16 hours of video interviews in our most high profile jail.

You are not feared for talking or dicussing politics, religion, economoy, etc etc in India which I realized personally after visiting middle east countries where people are scared to even ask about such topics. If there is anything objectionable, there are laws in place to raise objection. This ban is not end, film maker can raise her case and if justified, ban can be lifted and documentary can be aired later. Freedom of speech doesnt mean lawlessness, that if one didnt like what other said, then shot them down with a gun.

@Coovercolly INDRESH Every single word you wrote about Islam and its teaching are wrong. Sorry to disappoint you but do not go by what media spreads. if you are educated person, go and do a search on your own. Ladies are by all means allowed in mosques for prayer. Islam gives 100% equal rights to women. In Quran, all orders for MEN AND WOMEN, nothing is only for MEN or only for Women. if Men and Women word is not used the word used is MUSLIM or Momin. I agree you may be saying all this in anger, but for godsake if we ppl need some change, then we need to be correct in our statements.

I request people who are posting messages here to be little bit sensible. There is a women who was raped and murdered and this guy who did that crime does not have any remorse. It must be condemned and broadcast is banned rightly.
Do not take this opportunity to criticise India or Hindu's , this is separate humanitarian problem and do not bring usual petty stuff. Rape is a universal problem and must be condemned with one voice in Pakistan.

Udwin has voilated the law as well as morality by shooting a convict and leaving India WITHOUTsharing interview with GOVT. She has actually GLORIFIED the convict She has given high visibility to the rapist thereby insulting ALL Rape victims - Why did Udwin NOT interview Nirbhaya's surviving parents.
BBC should be mature enough NOT use this documentary for Commercial selling - till it is shared with GOVT agencies
May sense prevail on BBC

"It's an International conspiracy to defame India" claims Indian Minister Venkaiah Naidu. So Indians too are now waking up to conspiracy theories??

@Omar This is a result of male dominated societies in south asia, which is endorsed by religious and cultural upbringing. Mindset of majority of men is that women are inferior to men so they can be bullied around and such behaviour towards women is acceptable .

In general any kind of censorship is indicative of a sensitive topic being covered-up instead of dealing with it. In this case it seems to be that a convicted rapist is interviewed saying hat his victim "provoked him to rape" and that if girls walk around in a provocative fashion, they should be "taught a lesson" ... Given the magnitude of the problem in the country, it seems that censorship has so far in no way contributed to solving the problem... Bringing it out in the open might spark debate & dialogue, but most importantly would provide irrefutable evidence that there is actually a problem with regard to the discrimination of women in the country. The problem with censorship is that it allows the perpretrators to deny that there is a problem and allows them to continue their activities unhindered.

This is mere stupidity of congress regime. How can you let a foreigner lady to interview the rapist on death row in countrys central prision and now,she sells the canned documentary footage to BBC for commercial gain. This case of Dec 2012 shook consiuosness of entire nation which led to people come on streets to protest in all over India culminating in changes legal reforms. This lady udwin misused the confidence of nation for her personal benefit and fame. Now India should be careful with these cunning western media for double cross.
