Why is Indian political class offended by ‘India’s Daughter’?

Why is Indian political class offended by ‘India’s Daughter’? Why is
Rajnath Singh (Union Home Minister) uncomfortable with its public
screening? No, the interview of the rapist has nothing to do with that. If
that was the case, his sensibilities would have been offended by daily
lashing of Yogi Adityanath, who is his colleague both in the party as well
as in the parliament.

The political class is uncomfortable with ‘India’s Daughters’ because it
documents the fact that Indian state is reluctant to make any change to
status quo by unapologetically showing the brutal response of police on the
protests. Displaying police brutality – saviors cannot be murderers, is
‘anti national’ for many patriots in media, parliament and for general
citizenry. The protestors make subtle references to Soni Sori and others,
who were and are victims of state repression and have been sexually
violated by the ‘protectors’ of world’s largest democracy. The audacity of
public sharing of those episodes makes the Indian political class
uncomfortable.

The reference to Sushma Swaraj’s (Current External Affairs Minister) highly
offensive statement of *‘Zinda lash’* or living corpse in the parliament is
not something which the ruling party wants to hear. Continued here...
