Why target only India for rapes, says Danish designer-writer

New Delhi, April 26 , 2015: Why target only India for rapes, they happen all over the world, says Danish designer-turned writer Inger Solberg, who has come out with her first book "Pushpa", a vibrant account of her life in India, which she has made her home for the past 15 years. Solberg, who loves India and everything Indian, is against the controversial BBC documentary "India's Daughter" that kicked up a storm in India and was banned from being telecast. She also wrote a Facebook post against the documentary, based on the December 16,2012 gang-rape incident that shook India. "The incident was true (December 16 gang-rape); but why make the film and send the message that all Indian men are rapists, that their mindset is like this? Because that is not true; because this (rape) happens all over the world," Solberg told IANS. "And why pick India? .There are so many nice people, nice gentlemen here who are willing to help, good people. There are so many good things happening here. So why are they always picking on the negative side? Take the sunshine stories and bring them out," said Solberg. Solberg, who chose to settle down in India after a "hard divorce", says she has been fascinated by India since she was a teenager. "I always dreamed about coming to India. I was fascinated by the culture, the Hinduism, about (Mahatma) Gandhi, and chose to settle down in this country," she said. Solberg, who was born in Norway, but lived in Denmark, says she had "fallen in love with the sleeping tiger (India). "But the sleeping tiger is not sleeping anymore, it has woken up and has taken over the world", she says. Solberg used to frequent India in the 90s in connection with her fashion designing. The title of the book "Pushpa" comes from the name her Indian boyfriend used to call her by. He was sadly killed in a motorcycle crash a few years ago.
