This piece is so heart breaking. I am from IIT-BHU and it really struck all of us when the gang rape happened in the campus. At the time, there was furore on Alumni chat groups and there were indications that due process may be followed. It is our apathy – my apathy – that I did not realize that the protesting students were under suspension after all this. At 20, I used to question why we don’t allow women to travel for better education – now, I think I understand. It is because no one in the system will back you up in case of a a crisis. Everyone is out to save their behinds.
