Today is December 16. Five years ago, on Dec. 16, 2012, Jyoti Singh, a 23-year-old physiotherapist intern living in New Delhi, was headed home after watching the movie Life of Pi with a male friend. They got on a bus. Six males were on board, including the driver.
In the moving bus, all six assaulted the couple. Singh was gang-raped, and her friend beaten severely. She died days later.
I checked the news today, and there are absolutely no articles on Indian media about the anniversary of this incident. Everyone forgot.
The only article I did find, was in the US. On NPR. Unbelievable.
Read this fantastic piece about a physcologists attempt to study the mind of convicted rapists.
This line stood out
But she did say she saw a pattern of "cognitive distortion" — they had created their own version of the crime that allowed them to justify their actions.Most convicted rapists presented themselves as nonrepentant and attempted to justify their crimes
