What the fuck is wrong with the country? Or is just a handful of people who can see through the Indian media's cheapness? First the media glorifies the 16th Dec rape victim like a soldier, like she voluntarily died for a cause. Yes, the crime resulted in a united response from Indians against rapes and crimes against women. Yes, there was a wave of awareness. But excuse me, she did not ask for getting raped for the betterment of the country that suddenly you want to call her a martyr-- sentimentalizing the whole episode to make money.
And after the verdict for the rapists is out, our entertainment industry realises that people appear satisfied and there is not enough masala to titillate people, so Aaj Tak comes up with an interview of the victim's friend setup in a bus with tinted glasses, and the interview starts from the where the victim boarded the bus and went on till the point where she was thrown off-- the victim's friend narrating the whole episode to an audience glued to the television, watching the story of a woman's brutal rape and murder. Then Crime Patrol dramatizes the whole incident in the form of an EXCLUSIVE evening-entertainment show, to 'show' the 'reality'. Its enraging how the death of the victim of a heinous crime is sold to people in sad voices and expressions, alongwith all sorts of advertisements, and disappointing how people have successfully been buying it for months now. So you sit there, passively receive all the dirt being served to you, get scared, lock your daughters up to 'protect' them, and feel sad till the next entertainment show is telecasted to get you out of the gruesomeness.
And pages on Facebook put a cherry on top by copying a picture of a mutilated face from some source-- someone's picture who again would have been the victim of some misfortune; and copying a picture of a well dressed woman (like any woman's profile picture on Facebook would be), from some other source, placing them next to each other as 'before' and 'after' the rape, and inviting likes, comments and shares on the picture to increase the page's popularity.
Sadly, to me, it appears like mass-pornography.
