The commotion in Delhi might begin to change that. It would be foolish to think of the rape victim as a martyr in a cause – victims are victims – but enough protest and self-examination might one day mean that rape is punished even in the dustiest town, even when committed by the police, which would be a marvellous thing; especially marvellous if the police didn't beat up, blind or otherwise torture the suspects they had taken into custody.

India's current outpouring of anger is unprecedented. Can it bring change?

I've been wondering if the recent flare up in Kashmir was an attempt to distract from the rape controversy. Hopefully they can get some real change over there. At least the perps are going to likely hang, except for the minor.
