Mahatma Gandhi
An Indian youth holds a placard and a portrait of Indian independence icon Mahatma Gandhi during a silent demonstration in Hyderabad on April 23, 2013, following the rape of a five-year old girl in New Delhi. A senior Indian government minister said that a new rape outrage showed that 'something terrible' was happening to society as he extended an olive branch to demonstrators. Protests have been taking place across New Delhi since last week when it emerged that a five-year-old girl had been repeatedly raped over the course of nearly two days after being abducted from her home in a working class suburb.
