By ReutersLONDON - The father of an Indian woman whose rape, torture and death provoked international outrage said in an interview published on Sunday that he  wanted her name to be made public so she could be an inspiration to other  victims of intercourseual assault.

Follow @NBCNewsWorld  Reuters has opted not to identify the victim because Indian authorities have banned the media from doing so.

The 23-year-old physiotherapy student died on  Dec. 28 in a Singapore hospital, two weeks after a gang rape on a bus in New  Delhi that ignited street protests across India and prompted promises from the  government for tougher punishments for offenders.
