That girl, the one without the name. The one just like us. The one whose battered body stood for all the anonymous women in this country whose rapes and deaths are a footnote in the left-hand column of the newspaper.
Sometimes, when we talk about the history of women in India, we speak in shorthand. The Mathura rape case. The Vishaka guidelines.
A thought provoking tribute to the anonymous women victims.
I’m so glad you reblogged that, Deepa, it was a tremendous piece. But more, this highly articulate and provocative journalist’s blog is a delight – a great new find for me, thanks to you
That is one of the most moving tributes that I have read so far.
