Some of the troubling legal issues around the gang rape documentary India’s Daughter (by @nsaikia) Law on the Disclosure of the Identity of Rape Victims. (Note: This post comprises preliminary notes for a legal opinion drafted a while ago.
I haven't re-checked it before posting it.) Indian law does not prohibit just the disclosure of the names of rape victims but of information potentially leading to the identification of rape victims. The protection of identity of rape victims could be considered to be requirements both criminal law and civil law — the identity of rape victims is protected under statutory law, case law and (presumably) tort law relating to privacy (not to mention constitutional law).

Illustration: Satwik Gade In an interview shortly after the release of his book In Cold Blood, Truman Capote said of the motives of one of the two killers whose stories the book told: “I believe Perry did what he did for the reasons he himself states — that his life was a constant accumulation of disillusionments and reverses and he suddenly found himself (in the Clutter house that night) in a psychological cul-de-sac.
The Clutters were such a perfect set of symbols for every frustration in his life. As Perry himself said, ‘I didn’t have anything against them, and they never did anything wrong to me — the way other people have all my life. Maybe they’re just the ones who had to pay for it.’” No one who has read the book will come away feeling that Mr. Journalism has a long history of interviewing those convicted of heinous crimes including mass murder, rape and cannibalism.
Ban on BBC rape documentary: It's the idiocy of our MPs that 'defames India' - Firstpost. By the time you read this, Leslee Udwin's India's Daughter will have had its British premiere.
This writer can't claim to have an opinion on the documentary because like all Indians, she hasn't seen it (yet). Unlike some esteemed members of the Indian polity, she doesn't have the super powers of assumption that are required to rant against India's Daughter the way journalist Arnab Goswami and politician Meenakshi Lekhi have in parliament and on news channels. However, what this writer can say with certitude is that the minister for parliamentary affairs Venkaiah Naidu was on the money when he said, "This is an international conspiracy to defame India.

JOB OPENING – MARKETING EXECUTIVE. Kunalmajumder : An #Indian stamp from 1981 ... Behind India's shocking gang rapes lies a deep crisis among young men. For anyone who maintains that women are raped because of the way they dress or the way they look, the image of two thin and scrawny teenagers hanging from a mango tree, gang raped and murdered by their neighbours in Budaun, Uttar Pradesh, provided a powerful lesson.
It was a poignant reminder that, according to the National Crime Records Bureau, incidents of rape in India have gone up tenfold in the last 40 years. From 1971 to 2012 recorded cases shot up from just under 2,500 to almost 25,000, and activists believe only 10% of cases are actually reported to the police. This rising trend of sexual violence needs to be better understood. And today it was reported that a judge in Aligarh, Uttar Pradesh, was the victim of an attempted rape in her well-protected home. Uttar Pradesh, where these latest horrific attacks took place, is one of the poorest states in India, with more than 60 million people living on less than a pound a day.
