no Suja, he is not talking about attitudinal change of the offenders,,he is talking of the attitude of society as a whole...like educating and influencing young boys and girls on gender issues...but that is long term...it needs to happen and will hopefully help in shaping a better tomorrow..
But, I think we need to deal with today first...we need to protect our women from gender violence today...and exemplary punishment will hopefully be a deterrent in that context,..and yes, while talking of the rights of the offenders, somewhere they seem to forget about the rights of the victim...that she had a right to a peaceful and safe life...when you have violated the right of an innocent, , then I think your rights are automatically abrogated!
