There is nothing wrong in making a documentary movie on the actual story or the visual depiction because everyone has the right to know but the question here is are we documenting it to analyze the reasons or the root cause for preventing such heinous crime in future? 

Are we going to dome something to address this big elephant in the room? Is this going to be one of the tools for reeducating the offenders convicted under such crime ? Is this going to change the mindset?

If the answer is yes to ate last two of the questions mentioned above then I have no problems of any sort for such visual depiction. The irony is we have only seen different version of storytelling that has taken place after this incident. 

Everyone used it as plot to use it for their own obvious reasons. We keep talking about women security but nobody comes out and do anything fruitful. It always gets its place in the bottom of priority list. I don’t want to think only negative and I am sure there are cases where people have come up and done something fruitful for stopping crime against women. 

I would rather like to see documentaries made on some positive change/development or on ways to handle such situations. I am sure there will be cases in western country of counselling such criminals to work on a road map for preventing such issues in the future. In a way this documentary also shows/depicts our useless judicial system.

I hope the judges involved in the trial of this case would now realise that they were wasting their time in even giving the accused an opportunity to defend himself who shows no signs of remorse. The Nirbhaya fund, set up by the UPA government in the aftermath of the December 16 Delhi gang rape, has made more news for being alarmingly underutilized than for making any significant improvement to women's safety. 

I’ll be more happy to see some movement in this direction rather than repetitive storytelling sessions of the same issue again and again. As mentioned in my yesterday’s post- It is really unfortunate that our police/law/court system is letting these criminal to talk even after 2 years of trail. India is the only country where a case goes from the lower courts to the supreme court, then to the president's table for the mercy plea and the same case bounces back to the Supreme court in order to challenge the president's verdict and the vicious circle continues to loop around. 

As a matter of fact it is high time for us to change the real status of women formed over the years--“The classified minorities”. It’s high time that we find remedy for this evil and execute the guilty without probing anything further and this will surely stop this issue from being a mere coffee table talk @ Cafeteria of the Indian Habitat Centre where all the "tired" MPs meet in the evening !!!!!!!
