Ditching the predictable 'Shame on Delhi Police' and 'Rapists be given stringent punishment', women took to the streets to proclaim their right to dress, to go out, to be safe. On display was in-your-face anger and aggression. Sample this: "things that cause rape — my outfit (no), being drunk (no), flirting (no), RAPISTS (yes),'' or "Am I just a body to be used?"
Sociologist Shiv Vishwananthan says that the protests are bound to be different because they are an assertion of the individual and not a political group. "It is not a statement of a party but an assertion of an individual. People... particularly women are angry and articulating this anger...this is not a generalized statement given by a political party. It is a personal statement by citizens for their city. And it is political parties and MPs who look out of place,'' he said.
Social theorist Ashis Nandy said that while the anger that was pouring out on the streets was justifiable, it saddened him to hear the expressions of violence.
"The talk of hanging the accused publicly or torturing the rapists... these ideas stem from the same culture of violence that led to the rape. This saddens me...Northern India has a culture of violence and misogynists. But we need to look at a long term perspective on how to tackle this,'' he said.
