Tunku Varadarajan: Robert De Niro and The Fall of India's Conscience Empty Tunku Varadarajan: Robert De Niro and The Fall of India's Conscience

When Robert de Niro was feted at a jamboree called “Think” in Goa, India, in early November—a “festival” of chattering heavyweights from the entertainment and literary world—he can hardly have imagined that his host would stand accused, three weeks later, of attempting to rape the young woman who was assigned to chaperone him and his daughter while they were guests at the gathering. As matters now stand, de Niro’s name features awkwardly (if tangentially) in the incident’s First Information Report (the Indian legal term for a “booking” for a criminal offence), and it is not inconceivable that the American movie star could be called to give evidence, or to serve as a character witness, at a trial that will rivet all of India.

Is Tejpal supposed to be India's conscience?

I think the fact that this has played out in such a public manner, the fact that we have graphic details of what actually happenned in the elevator from the girl, has shaken the conscience of many Indians in a positive way.
