　　Should the Indian Gang-Rape Victim Remain Anonymous?

　　As the ashes of the young New Delhi rape victim were scattered in the Ganges this week, a new debate started to take shape about the chilling attack that has sent India into a period of deep introspection. For weeks, protesters and newspapers have used a series of symbolic names to refer to the 23-year-old physiotherapy student who died Dec. 29 from the injuries inflicted on her during a brutal gang rape earlier in the month. One network calls her the Braveheart another calls her Amanat, or treasure. Thats because Indian law prohibits making public the names of victims of rape. The Indian press, which has reported extensively on the victims family, friends and hometown, has taken great care to obscure any details that may identify her.

　　Now some are questioning why. This week, Minister of Human Resource Development Shashi Tharoor wondered aloud on his popular Twitter feed what, exactly, the purpose was of keeping the victims name shrouded in secrecy. Why not namehonour her as a real person w/own identity? he wrote on Jan. 1. Unless her parents object, she should be honoured the revised anti-rape law named after her. She was a human being w/a name, not just a symbol.
