In addition, police often refuse to accept complaints from those who are brave enough to report violations, and rare processes that reach the courts drag on for years.Indian attitudes towards rape are so ingrained that even politicians and opinion leaders have often suggested that women should not go out at night or wear clothing that can be provocative.On Friday, Abhijit Mukherjee, a national legislator and son of President of India, apologized for calling the protesters "very dented and painted" women ranging from nightclubs to demonstrations."I present my unconditional apology to all the people whose feelings are hurt," he told NDTV news.Several Indian celebrities Saturday reacted with sadness the death of the woman.
