5.0 out of 5 starsRape seen as a divine sport in India
By Dr Jacques COULARDEAU on 6 April 2015
Format: Paperback
That's a book that will surprise many readers in our western countries. Nothing really special though. A young couple, married ten or twelve years, deeply in love and who are confronted to their childlessness. The book is amazing though we have to consider we are in India between the two world wars under British rule, hence some 80 pr ninety years ago. This may explain some of the items contained in that. I will not though discuss the details of the plot, because there is a plot that ends in the most ominous possible vision.

There certainly is a fertility problem among the characters of this rural area but it is never medically treated and it is never alluded that there could be any medical treatment. So this explains that, it happened 80 or 90 years ago, but it makes the book extremely and even fastidiously archaic. We do not really feel the modern world in this anthropological approach of a world that should be considered as dead, and yet we know it is far from being dead or even dying.

But that's the point. It is not dead. In India right now there is a tremendous development, multiplying phenomenon of raped women, collective rapes, rape in all its possible forms, and we are only speaking of those we know, and most of the rapes concerning Untouchable women are not even mentionable, let alone reported or simply registered by the police when reported. And we are not speaking of the other type of rape that is of course, by principle unmentionable, the rape of children and the rape of men, not necessarily because they are even worse than the rape of women, but because they are not even considered as rape at all: events that happen because fate wants it like that. A man is a man and men will be men. Children are not even to be taken into account.Read more ›
