From the Nirbhaya case in 2012, to an 8-year-old girl being gang-raped and murdered in Kathua, to a 12-year-old in Assam and another minor in Surat, we ask, what has changed and what must change for the future. The Nirbhaya horror and the outrage that followed seriously damaged the UPA government and the same seems to be happening for the BJP now. Can we go much beyond politics to look at our society? On NDTV Dialogues this week, we discuss this issue with Shazia Ilmi of the BJP, Priya Dutt of the Congress, Shekhar Gupta of ThePrint and the brave young lawyer, Deepika Rajawat, fighting for justice for an 8-year-old as well as actor Raveena Tandon, known to be involved in raising awareness for social issues.
