the lady has shown gumption by speaking up where many would have preferred to leave the cloak where it lay. however, if she had identified the male individual, it would have perhaps been of greater significance a la "name and shame" : she's paid a price over years and years : its time for the man now ? as for those who run down what she has said, it will not stand scrutiny that she has created a niche, become recognized as a journalist of significance, and now goes public with something that she did not need for "publicity".
I do not believe than any woman would proclaim to the world that she has been sexually abused,unless something really bad has happened to her.Let us give her the benefit of doubt and extend our sympathy even though she is a highly biased journalist.
barkha's popularity is now at its lowest ebb, hence there is every reason for her to get some sympathy thro false disclosure which has no authentication, it is only her word which has to be believed, knowing how manuplative women she is through out her career be it Kargil war or 26/11, i refuse to believe her in totallity...however i also condem such action done on any child across the country, such guys should be castrigated being the least penal action
