The media attention on rape in India and the public notion that women are responsible for most rapes have lead comedy podcast All India Bak**** [1] (AIB), brainchild of comedians Tanmay Bhat, Rohan Joshi, Ashish Shakya and Gursimran Khamba, to protest by posting a satirical video on Youtube “It's your fault [2]” (text-script here [3]). The video went viral and had been watched almost 1.5 million times in the first week.
