This case clearly has a religious angle to it. The little girl was targeted because she belonged to a certain community those men hated. No ifs and buts about it.
My only problem with these bollywood celebs is they are unbelievably selective when it comes to expressing outrage and also hypocrites of the top level. I really can't take them seriously when they come out with such strong words. Also the generalizations need to stop.

On bold. Yes. It does have religious angle. Sometimes rapes have casteist angle (on Dalits). Sometimes they have regional angle (migrant workers from other states).End of the day, a rape is a rape is a rape. Men cannot use women as the tools for their anger. That has to be the bottom line.But the agenda driven campaign is taking the focus farther and farther away from the girl.First mistake was done by Mehbooba's (Kashmir CM) government, who appointed a tainted person for the SIT probe, who himself had allegations of raping a Hindu girl and murdering her brother and who was in jail for four years. ( http://www.tribuneindia.com/news/jammu-kashmir/kathua-case-bjp-questions-tainted-officer-s-role-in-probe/570242.html ). This man happens to be close to Gilani, who blows up every issue as Indian's atrocities on Kashmiris to get international attention to Kashmir issue.Next was Barkha, who converted the protests for CBI enquiry to "Nationalists supporting the rapists of a girl".Now issue turns into, "Minorities are not safe in India", "Kashmiris are oppressed".. etc.. Are these people really concerned about getting justice to the girl?"India needs to be shamed" "Indian government needs to be shamed" .. Where is the girl in this picture?

These bimbos just should stay away from communalising the issue.
I don't know which Hindu Nationalists they are talking about who supported the rapists.Except some stupid organization using Hindu name of which even right wingers would be ashamed of. It's like blaming Muslims for ISIS, al-Qaeda's acts.

Opportunists will prey on this topic, but what stopped the government from condemning this incident without ifs and buts? They have been giving such ambivalent responses and have scored several self goals in the handling of this case.

Totally agree with you on the above. Central government may not have hand in any of this. But why are they not vocal in condemning the act? Their silence at this time would give an impression, they are involved (or at least helpless). That is not the sign of strong governance.At least women in cabinet must have spoken.This is so unfortunate. Such a brutal incidence being used for point scoring. It makes one question, where have we come to as human beings?
