Kalki's ‘It’s your fault’ rape satire video raises eyebrows

Chances are you've already seen, liked and shared this video, which has gone viral on various social networking platforms in the past few days. 'It's your fault' was uploaded on Wednesday night by All India Bak***d (AIB), a group of four stand-up comics - Rohan Joshi, Tanmay Bhat, Gursimran Khamba and Ashish Shakya. It features Kalki Koechlin and Juhi Pande. The video has gone viral and has even attracted the attention of international media like the Huffington Post, Al Jazeera and many foreign bloggers.

Rohan, from the popular Mumbai-based group, told us, "It's not what you would expect from a group of four funny guys, and that's just the point. Nothing at all, no part of this, is funny, and therefore we approached it in a different way. The response has been amazing, from the moment we posted the video till now. It is something that every person we know relates to and feels strongly about."

The satirical video has been targeted at the stereotypical social mindset that blames the victim for molestation and sexual assault, and sees Kalki and Juhi repeatedly telling women viewers how every such attack is 'their fault'. Said Juhi, "We knew when we were shooting the video that it would get a lot of reactions. Eyebrows would be raised and there would be a lot of discussion. We've all had these discussions in our social groups and have all felt angry and frustrated at these statements that have made headlines. Yes, this video will only reach the English-speaking, 'sarcasm-understanding' young person, but at least it's out there. It's a drop in the ocean, but it is still a drop and I am glad to be have been a part of it."

Bizarre comments made by political persons that have made headlines - blaming chowmein and mobile phones for rape and calling the attacker your 'bhaiya' to avert rape - have also made it to the video. It ends with a montage of women from different age groups saying the words 'It's my fault', and has been shared and retweeted many times, with the same words added before each post.
