With all due respect, Mr Kashyap -- and believe me, I genuinely respect your skills as a filmmaker -- I beg to differ. It is very convenient to say, especially if you are a man, that men continue to harass women because women choose not to retaliate, and the only solution is to physically attack the perpetrator. When a thief has successfully made away with his loot, we do not tell the owner of the house he robbed that he is a twat who deserved it, all because he did not punch him in the face and prevent the thief from escaping. We are not so silly as to pronounce that murders are multiplying because other victims did not grab the nearest weapon and attack their perpetrator before that fatal blow. No, we expect the police, and the state machinery, to come to our rescue and proceed according to the rule of law. Why then, Mr Kashyap, is it that in this crime, and this crime alone, you allow society and the state to abdicate their responsibility so conveniently, and lay the onus of both prevention and resolution squarely on the shoulders of the victim, by making them believe something as ridiculous as “If you make up your mind, nothing will happen to you.”? Sounds to me too much like a certain politician declaring, “Poverty is a state of mind.” business-standard/article/beyond-business/you-ve-got-the-wrong-villain-mr-kashyap-113110100741_1.html
