Indian protesters hold candles while temporarily blocking a road during a rally in New Delhi on December 30, 2012, following the cremation of a gang rape victim.
Thousands of people have been taking to the streets in India to protest the brutal gang rape and subsequent death of a 23-year-old woman. The attack has highlighted conditions for Indian women, many of whom complain that rampant sexual harassment and even rape often go unpunished. We talk with a panel of local Indian-American women about the incident.
