"If a guy is with four girls, his friends call him a stud but if a girl is with four guys then she is immediately tagged as a slut." In a six-minute satirical piece dedicated to the Republic Day of our country, Vasundhara Kaul explains how women are visualised through a certain set of stereotypes and how the rape culture is inherent in our society. She also takes a dig at Delhi which, she says, could easily be termed as 'the rape capital of India' going by the number of rape cases that stem from our capital everyday. The video signifies that instead of celebrating our Republic Day we should seriously ponder on our duality when it comes to women and their objectification and degradation though our songs. Are women in India really free and safe? Looking at the treatment of women in India, it certainly feels more proper to deem the day RapePublicDay instead of Republic Day.
