Government of India has banned the screening of ‘Daughter of India’ documentary film made by British filmmaker Leslee Udwin for BBC, following the objections from the Indian Parliamentarians. It even asked the British Government not to air the film, but the film was aired by BBC channel-4 on Thursday.

 

However, the father of Nirbhaya has welcomed the BBBC’s move and stated that “Everyone should watch the film. If a man can speak like that in jail, imagine what he would say if he was walking free. The documentary exposes what is happening. If the country has taken a decision, we have to accept it.”

 

The documentary contains the interviews of Nirbhaya’s parents, the police, legal experts, doctors who attend her case till her last minutes and also the prime accused Mukesh Kumar, who is awaiting his death sentence in Tihar Jail.

 

Renowned novelist Chetan Bhagat also agrees with Nirbhaya’s father’s arguments. He tweets, “Forget ban, #IndiasDaughter is must watch. Anyone who watches will understand devastation caused by regressive attitudes. Face it. Fix it.”

 

However, the persons involved in this heinous crime are still manage to escape/prolong their punishment even the fast track court is handling their case. Instead of demanding for their immediate punishment, people, politicians and the government of India indulged in arguments over banning the documentary film. Neither the government nor the people’s representatives appears to be worried about increasing rape incidents in the country. Although, hundreds of such crimes are taking place across the country, no one is paying attention to them, but spare time to tweet on the documentary film airing.
