BBC World Service - Witness History, Sexual Harassment in India

Witness hears from the first woman to bring a case of sexual harassment to trial in India.

Rupan Deol Bajaj was the first woman in India to bring a case of sexual harassment to trial. It took nearly 17 years before she eventually won.

It's nearly thirty years since the first time a case of sexual harassment was brought to court in India. It became headline news and divided the country because the accused was a senior policeman, celebrated for fighting militants. Claire Bowes has been speaking to the plaintiff, Rupan Deol Bajaj, about the incident she just couldn't ignore.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
