Rape accused Monojit Mishra probably thought the woman wouldn’t dare to speak up because of the guilt, shame and blame our society pins on survivors. But the tide is changing

I’m obsessed with the pompous, self-righteous, son-of-a-priest, baby-faced visage of Monojit Mishra, the 31-year-old history-sheeter who allegedly raped a 24-year-old law student in Kolkata, supported by two younger men (co-accused Pramit Mukherjee, 20, and Zaib Ahmed, 19) who filmed the crime. The easiest way to distract Indian men from identity politics and unite them is to pit them against women.
