Speaking at an event in London, Indian prime minister Modi addressed the international furor over 8-year-old Asifa by saying rape is rape; it’s sad but don’t politicize it. Actually, it was members of his own party & Hindutva nationalists marching for the adult male rapists & murderers of a little girl that exposed just how political rape is. It is one of the most violent expressions of gender, ethnic, religious, caste, & class oppression. It is not a personal crime at all & it’s about time that was recognized.
