I know no new thread is allowed on KT's rape but my take is completely different. I think rape should not be made so dramatic. It should not be made a stigma or shown as a huge unbearable trauma.. Yes rapes happen but there is no need to make that out to be the end of the world. In fact, psychiatrists say that rape victims should be encouraged to be absolutely normal. Rape happened to my friend's young daughter some years ago. The young girl immediately thought she had been sullied and started talking to her parents in Hindi fiilm language -- No body will marry me, I'm not fit for anybody's love etc.Thank God, her parents gave her correct counselling. They told her it was not her fault, she need not blame herself for it, she hasn't been sullied -- and indeed she should treat it as an accident and forget it. At the same time, the parents pursued the case in court and brought the culprit to book. The sensitivity with which her parents handled the girl was a lesson for me. The girl took her high school exams -- days after the rape -- and came second. And today she bears no scars. So, please, please , please don't make it so melodramatic and say this is the worst trauma any girl can face. KT wants to commit suicide. This is typical "I'm sullied, I'm not fit for anybody" Hindi film stuff. I think this forum should be rational and sensitive and not purvey regressive ideas. Thanks.
I completely agree wiz u....
