An excellent example of satire at its best is this video by the Indian comedy group All India Backods. It is a parody of India's "victim blaming" culture and it especially satirizes India's view of rape victims. The views expressed in the clip are, of course, far from being uniquely "Indian", which is probably why the clip has had so many viewers over the past couple of weeks. More than two million people have seen it since it was uploaded on Youtube on September 19th. This proves, once again, the effectiveness of satire when it sets out to battle actual beliefs and opinions held in society.
