Why Is the Indian Government so Afraid of This Film?

Check out this article I found about why India is so upset about this documentary.

“India’s daughter is a documentary about the brutal gang rape of a 23-year old student Jyoti Singh on a moving bus in New Delhi, India’s capital, in 2012. The rape led to her death a few days later, and caused widespread protests and outrage in India over the next few months.”

This article talks about the Indian government is outraged at this documentary and why.  She talks about the “rules” that were broken when the film was made ad using them as an excuse to ban the film.

When I was reading this article I thought it was going to be about a group of people so outraged that they were going to do something about it. I was wrong.  I was disappointed to read that the Indian government was punishing people who tried to view the film, and nothing would come of the people’s outrage.  The author also talked about one of the rapist interviewed said the woman wouldn’t have died if she would have just let it happen. It seems as though this is a common view point in India.  What do you think about his comment? What do you think would happen if a film like this was released in America?
