Delhi rapist who was convicted for raping an Indian student in 2012 was interviewed by a television documentary reporter and his answers sparked outrage as he claimed that the victim should have not fought back and just accepted her fate.
Mukesh Singh was interviewed by Leslee Udwin for a BBC documentary to be released soon however, her inquiries from the Delhi rapist waiting in the death row left her stunned. From Singh's point of view, it was clear how India is treating women.
"A girl is far more responsible for rape than a boy," Singh stated. "A decent girl won't roam around at 9 o'clock at night .... Housework and housekeeping is for girls, not roaming in discos and bars at night doing wrong things, wearing wrong clothes."
On Dec. 16, 2012, Jyoti Singh a 23-year-old student had seen a film with her male friend and boarded an off-duty bus around 8:30 p.m. Among the passengers were five adults and a juvenile. The men consisting of four attackers took turn in raping all the girls.
But worst was Jyoti who was raped by all four Delhi rapists and inserted an iron rod on her sensitive part. Singh, the Delhi rapist admitted that he remained in the driver's seat but also participated in raping the student while her male friend was beaten.
Jyoti Singh died after some days due to the injuries she sustained.
In a 16-hour BBC interview, the Delhi rapist gave a shocking answer that calls for another big fury among Indian protesters who are fighting for equal right treatment for women. "People had a right to teach them a lesson and woman should have put up with it."
The Delhi rapist added 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. The death penalty will make things even more dangerous for girls, now they won't leave the future rape victims alive, rapists will kill them.
The BBC Documentary entitled "India's Daughter" will be aired on Storyville on BBC Four on Sunday, March 8 at 22:00 GMT. The documentary will be shown in India on NDTV at 21:00 local time as it coincides with the International Women's Day.
The Delhi rapist interview just proved that these attackers have shown no remorse on the evil act that they had done. How many future rape victims will India have when thinking of rapists would be like this?
