Terrible story already, but is this going to cause something major in India I wonder?

No, because even though they are 9th/10th nation in the world economically, their population has medieval views about women. Only an efficient, effective police force that respects women and are capable of investigating and then an effective prosecution service that again respects women and their right to walk the streets unmolested will have an effect.
Judging by their history on those issues, check back in about 100 years.

A great deal of hand wringing among politicians and perhaps a token effort.In truth India may only look like it's 10 years behind China in GDP growth but when you look at social development issues like workforce participation of women, poverty levels, child mortality, energy use, urbanization etc. it's clear India is actually nowhere near as developed.

In terms of major atitude changes? Probably not.Terrible story already, but is this going to cause something major in India I wonder?
In terms of a lot of fighting on the strees? Probably.

Could change faster than that, needs to start with a powerful womens political movement.
The one they might have had, had they not assassinated their female PM?Awful story and I'm sure there's a problem there, like in many other places in the world.

The one they might have had, had they not assassinated their female PM?but even then there are powerful female politicians there - sonia gandi is at the head of the ruling party - just one that comes to mind.
even Pakistan had a benazir yet it doesnt mean attitudes will change
I honestly think they'll pay lip service etc - then some other news will take over and people will forget.

The victim should have surrendered when surrounded by six men, at least it could have saved her intestines
