It's easy to forget -- outside of the sewer of internet comment sections -- how many amazing human beings there are in the real world.
The rise of a more liberal, educated, egalitarian middle-class in India is a must, if we're to combat poverty, climate change and corruption in the 21st century.
Complete structural change is needed,
100%. Need clear separation of powers.
With direct elections for an executive President, who appoints the Cabinet of Ministers and sets government policy.
In parliament, the Speaker to be seen as the leader of the legislature. MPs responsible only for laws, amendments, repeals.
The Constitution and laws need to be democratised.
Rewritten in simple language, translated into every state language, and made available as original sources online, so people can access them and understand laws themselves instead of being dependent on self-appointed custodians.
We need more local democracy and fewer regional satraps.
Dissolve the current states and upgrade 740 districts into elected Janapadas/Prefectures, to improve policy outcomes on the ground.
No more MLAs and DMs acting like local feudal lords. Bottom-up, accessible institutions.
In each Janapada, assign community policing/crime prevention to local police, accountable to local citizens.
Assign law and order, crime investigation, counter-terrorism to a new central police force, independent of executive. Like the armed forces, with parliamentary oversight.
Split the Supreme Court into a Constitutional Court and Court of Final Appeal, with clear and separate functions and duties.
Give each Janapada a system a decentralised system of courts and alternative dispute resolution mechanisms, working in local languages and jargon-free.
The issue is not that we have too much democracy, we have too little.
The current unelected and unaccountable bureaucratic and judicial institutions suffer from a "democratic deficit" and are all designed to thwart any aspirations of the people that can challenge the status quo.
"In most democratic countries, ... the police work under the control of local self-government bodies.
But in India, the police is not answerable or accountable to the local people whose lives and properties it is supposed to protect." - @MNageswarRaoIPS

Many of the suggestions in the above thread may sound radical or utopian, but they exist worldwide, including here in the Indian subcontinent.
Sri Lanka being an example, which enacted such reforms despite similar levels of religious diversity and colonial administrative legacy. t.co/bzJrSJArLQ
For those looking for inspiration for what our next Constitution could look like, instead of copying dysfunctional and discredited models from the Anglosphere, let's learn from and improve on other Asian countries with similar challenges and experiences.

It is wonderful to see people supporting each other and raising their voices against the violence. I hope it does get better for them. No matter where you live, to have rape be a common problem is a horrible thing to hear and I can only imagine, an even more terrible thing to live with.
whats with all the hate on indians? seriously... some of you really need to take lessons on humanity.
Thank you I've been waiting for a comment like this. Thats what I said but people be hating on Indians too much.
Yes! I've been waiting for a documentary on this.
If you can look past race and ethnicity, and acknowledge that everyone is human and everyone deserves basic rights, its hard not to get upset over the conditions these women face. How would anybody feel if it was their sister or niece or mother being raped? It would be impossible to make jokes, or light of the situation. I feel that the sexes should be equal. However, I do disagree with women only schools and segregation of that nature. If we allow genders to fight against each other, one gender trying to punish the other for the past actions, no good can possibly come of this. Equality of the sexes, not reparations. Thank you.
I don't mean to detract from her ability as a journalist or be one of those people who just makes everything involving a woman about their looks but man, Gelareh Kiazand is gorgeous.
I am an Indian. Traditionally we respect women. Rapes happen every where. In India a high percentage of it gets reported. Police system in Northern India is very very bad. Its still the colonial system where police used to do every thing for the British masters. Only thing today is the British have been replaced by dumb politicians who get voted by dumb people. Otherwise ours is a land where King Ram traveled couple thousand kilometers with a whole army and traversed right across the sea and invaded a country just to get his abducted wife back. U know the penalty for rape in India "hang till death". But then there is a lot of improvement to be done especially in the police system.
Practicing Kamasutra is not raping is just love.
It’s not just to protect them from rapist but to create jobs, fight poverty and give women equal rights.
we pay we say
The pink ladies Ganga leader is not the leader anymore she was forced out of the group she started
Someone get filthy frank here.
If the gulaab gang would walk around with Ak-47's. I'm sure that would impress quite some rapist.
what is the point of the head thing if she is still showing her hair?
Pine Apple because she wears it like most people do in Iran because they have to wear it and that doesn’t mean they take it off one they don’t have to
hnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnng
not sure if srs , indian women are gross
Punjabi Stylin nonsense. I have friends female and indian.. They are so damn intelligent. And if my knowledge is right, all great looking indian celebrities and women are from the south of your country - there is a reason why so very few are from your region. I have a feeling i shouldn't be commenting here but you appeared so naive.
hey guys since no indian works at vice, lets send a iranian hijabi! yaay! ......
Barely give a shit. They need to report on something better.
So why are you even here then? You obviously cared enough to comment.
I commented so Vice hopefully sees this and stops uploading bullshit on here. And Im a fan on vices work but this particular vid is rubbish. so stfu
A Sajid You really think Vice gives a fuck what you think?
Yeah I do actually. they give a shit about what their viewer thinks. Every youtuber does unless they want to fail
-head pat- ooook.
I’m so sick of this HBO 170.00 bucks a month shit...now vice wants me to pay...if I plot taken over vice. Is vice going to give me a documentary....HBO is overpriced reruns, and to try to make me pay 170 a month for someone else’s political views is like DIABETREES
