Journal Article
\The Delhi Gang Rape\: The Making of International Causes
2013
Overview
Jyoti Singh Pandey's rape and murder in December 2012 provoked a mass media furore across the globe. Roychowdhury focuses on one aspect of international mass media attention, namely the way many media stories presented Pandey's assault as a putative battle between two Indias: the first, new and modern, and the second, old and backward. This juxtaposition illustrates a larger topic: the way violence becomes internationally recognised as a violation of modern, right-bearing subjects. A new, relatively empowered, Third World woman, one who not only demands women's liberation but does so within the confines of a global consumer economy, is critical to this process. Her violation simultaneously serves as a site of international curiosity and scrutiny, while providing a rationale for political claims-making and legal intervention.
