Abstract
The Delhi Gang rape case of a paramedic student in a moving private bus, popularly referred to as the “Damini” Gang rape case is one of the few cases that have managed to enter the public domain of debates and discussions. In terms of the popular upsurge and debates, it can be seen as a successor to the Hazare phenomenon. It managed to shake the authority, negotiate with it and also became a platform for debates ranging from rape as an institution of patriarchy to the fate of the rapists. It managed to raise some new and important questions about rape in the popular discourse – the many perpetrators of rape, the role of state and the need to transform the society. This paper attempts to look at these questions and the different opinions raised.
