Mumbai: Every other day we are left aghast with stories of rape. With Leslie Udwin's BBC gangrape video grabbing headlines and the backlash of over the film's ban in India, this video puts the collective issues in perspective with powerful words.
The three minute video is a rap by BomBaebs and starts with the following disclaimatory message:

The video goes with description,' As a nation, India is a 1000 shades of Fabulous and yet there's still 999 issues that hold us back. This is a piece that addresses all that needs immediate fixing - particularly for women..' and has already gone viral on the Internet.
The two women have created a sort of spoken word poetry/rap about some of the most disturbing yet unresolved issues in our country that need immediate fixing. They draw references to the lawyers in the BBC documentary who went on record to say, " We have the best culture, in our Culture there is no place for a woman."
