Thanks for clarifying. Am deleting my earlier post as promised.Anantha wrote:Sri
I never implied you said such a thing, if so apologies. I am only in agreement with what you said . A big chunk of media and people have wanted to keep the name of the victim hidden and that is why I am saying in general that there is no shame in attaching a name and face to the victim. We are already weakened by these acts there is no room for me to make a well meaning person like you look bad.
There are cases where a rape victim wants to keep her name hidden, while the trial is on etc. etc. It happen all the time in the US. But this case is vastly different....and has national implications. While I would agree that her family has every right to keep her name private if this is what they wanted; in my very humble opinion, her father (perhaps instinctively) did the right thing by releasing her name.
