Ten reasons why you must watch India's Daughter

  1. Because Freedom of Speech is everyone’s right.
  2. Because, apparently, even rape convicts have Freedom of Speech.
  3. Because interviewing a rape convict is important to know why he committed the heinous crime.
  4. Because giving rape convict and the men who defended him in Court a platform to speak out is “A way to expose Indian men and society’s mindset”
  5. Because the documentary doesn’t glorify rape, but glorifies Indian patriarchal mentality.
  6. Because ‘insensitive and moral policing’ Indian government has banned it.
  7. Because objecting the ban and watching the documentary is the only way to prove your stand against rape.
  8. Because understanding the ‘mentality’ of rapists will help us find solution, which apparently, stringent laws can’t.
  9. Because watching the documentary and sharing it and urging everyone to watch it will stop rapes.
  10. Because India represents Rape, and rapists, but not people like Reuben Fernandez and Keenan Santos, who died trying to protect girls from eve-teasers, or many other men, heroics of whom die a silent death amidst rapists men.
