A migration agent of Indian heritage speaks out against rape and sexism.  Having been raised and educated in Australia, this migration agent speaks out against cultural expectations of Indian women.

It is so infuriating that this documentary is banned in India because apparently, the rapist, Mukesh Singh, has shown no remorse and made derogatory comments of women! (Puhhhlease!)

The Indian politicians who supported this documentary being banned and the judiciary - how f*cking stupid do you think people are? I know enough about the Indian culture to call out that this documentary would make you feel shame (which you rightly should feel). Enough with your f*cking censorship! Accept that the mentality that this brute rapist has is something that all Indian men have to a certain degree. It's the way in which our society has functioned over centuries!

Mukesh Singh said the following things that made me sick, but I have heard it myself, living in Australia, also from 'educated' people and I want to explain why this is such a problem for every single Indian girl.

MS: "A decent girl will not roam around after 9pm". I had a similar thing said to me, shockingly, by my mother. I also had a stupid son of a b*tch make the following comment to me - "you only find decent girls at prayers, not at a bar or club"! Douche bag.

Mukesh Singh said: "Men and women are not equal". This is has been implied in many different ways to me by my father, brother in law and one jerk *ss piece of sh*t (one of his brother's) as well.

MS: "Housework is for women, - not roaming in discos and bars at night". Once again, implied assertion by my mother and also, aunties, fathers and uncles.

I remember walking into an engagement party and having an aunty remark "Oh my god!" (not in a good way) about what I was wearing (it was a strapless blue dress).

What am I getting at here? Well, to be honest, after having seen the documentary I am so furious and upset. First of all, these rapists are no different from any other brute that has raped or molested a woman! Why has it taken so long for people to raise their voice and question why women are viewed as property, not a person?! Secondly, why can't the damn Indian politician's stop making excuses and admit that there is a dire problem with its damn Indian culture! It's about time that changes happened and making excuses is not going to solve it. Stop hiding. And stop being so f*cking hypocritical!

Thirdly, Indian women from all walks of life will encounter this retarded superiority complex that Indian men have (as I have explained from my experiences). It's not a problem just 'out there in society', it's within our homes! And that's where changes need to be made. It is our responsibility to stand up for ourselves and put these people (even if it is your mother, father, uncle, aunt, brother, sister!) back in their place. Otherwise, the cycle is going to continue and this problem is never going to be eradicated. Women who raise sons have to make them accountable for their actions. We do it with our daughters! Why not with the boys?! As mothers, we have to stop placing restrictions on our daughters and allowing our sons the freedom to do whatever the hell they want, just because "they're a boy".

When your mother says that you should not be going to a bar or club because it's not what a respectable Indian girl should do, turn around and say "No! You are not right! Going to a club has got nothing to do with the respect that should be given to me as a person!"

I am speaking from experience when I say that as daughters we are responsible for educating our parents and our community. I had a lot of restrictions placed on me when I was growing up because I was a "girl" and my parents had very traditional views of what could or could not do. I have had to work very hard and be very resilient to do what I wanted to do and be the person that I wanted to be. It was not easy - I had to break through a lot of barriers (which even now, I find myself doing). But i do believe that now, my parents see me have a certain degree of respect for the person that I am. We have had to navigate our way to accept each other for who we are and make certain compromises, however, this has had to be mostly on their part because they have had to adapt and evolve in their thinking. For this, I will be forever grateful to them and am so proud that I have such amazing parents who put our relationship first and 'what society says', second. Not every Indian girl I know can say the same.
