Mumbai: Indian youth is a fiery political force of change, said filmmaker Shekhar Kapur, impressed with the way youngsters have been protesting to demand speedy justice for a Delhi gang-rape victim.
"Indian youth have proved they are not just demographic statistics in economic models. They are a potent and fiery political force of change," Kapur tweeted Sunday.
Thousands have been protesting in the national capital since Tuesday demanding justice for the 23-year-old who was gang-raped in a bus Dec 16.
The gang-rape of a 23-year-old in the capital has shocked the entire nation. Writer-lyricist Javed Akhtar feels such incidents can be avoided only when society starts respecting women.
"Strong laws, gender sensitive police, fast track courts are not enough. Society should learn to respect women. Stop domestic violence," Akhtar tweeted.
