By now, anyone with a decent internet connection should have seen the documentary that has been causing so much controversy. 'India's Daughter' has brought in front of us that mirror that reflected exactly where we have failed as a nation; to stop the rise of rape culture. It was a disturbing documentary. Not every day does one get to hear a rapist say 'she was much more at fault' on camera. We only hear idiot politicians and random people in our lives say that.The documentary has of course been banned. And that should not come as a surprise to anyone. It is what this country's government does best. Political parties come and go. The mentality remains. If it is a threat to their chair, ban it.I read someone's status on Facebook that pretty much sums up this brilliant move by the government: 'I'm kind of happy the government reacted like it did, though. The knee jerk reaction that government officials ended up showing, thanks to a primal fear of being held accountable, will end up contributing to the documentary's success.'And that is exactly what happened. Several YouTube accounts uploaded the documentary for everyone to view. One gets removed, another comes up. And that is what will keep on happening.

Some people did not think it was right to air it
Foolish film like MSG, where people have to buy tickets to watch cant be allowed but a Rapist can enter your drawing rooms via TV #Logic— Armed Aadmi (@bwoyblunder) March 3, 2015
But mostly people were shocked by the contents of the film, and they knew that it was necessary thing.
Scariest part in the #IndiasDaughter documentary are the comments made by the defense lawyers. And here we felt education changes mindsets!— Rashi Kakkar (@rashi_kakkar) March 5, 2015
If one grudgingly keeps aside the intent of the filmmakers, films like #IndiasDaughter need to be seen by all of us #NowConvinced— IndiaSpeaks (@IndiaSpeaksPR) March 5, 2015
The government is busy banning documentaries about rape instead of expediting justice for victims. India is a failure. #IndiasDaughter— lindsay pereira (@lindsaypereira) March 5, 2015
I found #IndiasDaughter far more sensitively done than many angry ugly invasive debates on the same issue that happen on our TV channels.— Chetan Bhagat (@chetan_bhagat) March 5, 2015
Watched the #IndiasDaughter documentary. It was depressing. Don't think it should be banned. Wondering why NDTV tried to make it spicy.— Overrated Sala (@bhak_sala) March 5, 2015
Everyone has a point of view. No matter how sick, we should not be afraid to hear it. Only then true change happens. #IndiasDaughter— Chetan Bhagat (@chetan_bhagat) March 5, 2015
Just watched #IndiasDaughter . It DOESN'T justify rape or #NirbhayaInsulted . It is a candid mirror to a sick society & the fightback by ppl— Tinu Cherian Abraham (@tinucherian) March 5, 2015
Blame all the politicians/ministers who stated things like, "Girls are more responsible for rapes" YOU GAVE BIRTH TO RAPISTS #IndiasDaughter— Megha (@ammoloaded) March 5, 2015
It's how you see it: The documentary identifies the thought process that should be condemned* to curb sexual crimes #IndiasDaughter— Vishakha Saxena (@saxenavishakha) March 3, 2015
#Retweet if you think we are fighting against a mindset like his! #IndiasDaughter pic.twitter.com/i8jFRoCqop— India's Daughter (@IndiasDaughter) March 3, 2015
All the techies / ethical hackers out there ! Please download #IndiasDaughter and spread it like a virus ! Everyone should watch it— Atul Khatri (@one_by_two) March 5, 2015
Next time anyone says a girl shouldn't go out late at night, remind them it's exactly what a shameless murderer rapist said. #IndiasDaughter— Vishakha Saxena (@saxenavishakha) March 3, 2015
I think it's just the 250 members of Parliament accused of rape/murder statement in #IndiasDaughter that got our ministers all riled up.— Utsav Chakraborty (@SatanBhagat) March 5, 2015
Jyoti Singh Pandey. Not Nirbhaya. Not Damini. Not braveheart. Thank you.— Baba Teja (@xtahzy) March 5, 2015
It’ll be easier for everybody if governments around the country just tell us what isn’t banned.— Overrated Outcast (@over_rated) March 5, 2015
Yes, documentary is the real problem. Attack it. Rape, police procedures, slow justice system, safety are just blah blah blah non issues.— CilemaSnob is now (@NotSoSnob) March 4, 2015

This culture of banning things is the one thing that should never be in our culture. Everything else we can handle. Stop banning. Now!— Siddharth (@Actor_Siddharth) March 5, 2015
Hey, Govt! If you won't even WATCH the man talk about his sick mindset, how will you "change mindsets"? Idiot move! #AbKiBaarLogicKiHaar— VISHAL DADLANI (@VishalDadlani) March 5, 2015
Documentaries are stories of truth! We should be embarrassed of the truth rather than the fact that the documentary got made#IndiasDaughter— Boman Irani (@bomanirani) March 5, 2015
India, where we save cows but kill & rape girls. How many Jyoti's will we apologise to. I'm truly ashamedhttps://t.co/It5DDUbDFW— Shruti Seth (@SethShruti) March 5, 2015
How can showing a criminal mouthing depraved views amt to lionising him? It can only create revulsion in the viewer and lead 2 introspection— Azmi Shabana (@AzmiShabana) March 5, 2015
