The Day A Rapist Held India to Ransom

For millions of Indians, a day that started with pride at a brave court verdict ended in rage, embarrassment, fear and an acute sense of shame. It was the day a rapist held us all for ransom. It was the day that tens of thousands of Indians went on the rampage in defense of a con man masquerading as a spiritual leader. Some have called it our very own Charlottesville moment.
