India Has a Very Serious Problem
In reply to Runs
Bro dont take this as a defense of India or rape. My issue is the rate or REPORTING on indian rape in the western media.
I cant remember seeing American or other rape cases in international media, even the really sick cases where multiple women are kidnapped and chained for YEARS in basements and repeatedly rape.
With this much focus on Indian rape, you would think India is the capital of rape in the world.
I did a quick google search for rape statistics globally and I was very surprised to find India at 94th on the rape list (rapes per 100,000 population).
South Africa tops the list, US at 14th, Israel at 26th, Guyana 28th, Trinidad at 25th.
If you are a woman, it is more likely you are raped in those countries before India.
In reply to steveo
Am not doubting that the media is complicit in over-sensationalizing, but it should not be an issue in a society as India's where respect for each other is deeply ingrained. It pains me to read about it having ancestral ties to India.
In reply to steveo
I got your point but the spotlight has been placed on India because of a series of brutal crimes.

the most telling rape stat is the number of unreported rapes.
In reply to steveo
Well, here is another take on Rape in India.
This kind of comparison, however, is misleading, Indian activists say.
Sudha Sundararaman, general secretary of the All India Democratic Womens Association, a nonprofit organization, says very few rapes get reported due to pressure from society to cover up abuses and the reluctance of police to register cases.
Although she acknowledges its hard to get hold of true statistics, Ms. Sundararaman estimates from her field experience that only about one in 10 rapes get recorded in India.
That would make Indias reporting rate much worse than the results of surveys in the U.S. suggest.

In a male dominated, religious society I am also thinking if an unwed woman publicizes that she was raped, society may shun her and her chances of ever getting married. Hence the cover up.
In reply to camos
Correct.
I have family in India by way of marriage.
Rape and incest is an epidemic. If stats were kept and victims had a culture of reporting, India would be one of the top in the world
Sad and sick. Many Indians are fighting hard to effect change in a culture that keeps rape as Shame to be hidden

Sounds like they need a Christian crusade...but that would be a different kind of terror..I wish them the best but in the meantime no woman in my family is ever stepping foot there,barbaric..

Yes but why focus on India, the 94th ranked country where rape is concerned.
If you wanna bring in unreported rape, US colleges would be the right place to start.
In reply to bravos
Sounds like they need a Christian crusade...
So you want to jeopardize young boys now...
Indirect point, why does the Catholic church enjoy media black out on their activities ?
In reply to Runs
In a male dominated, religious society

It is so add in sexually repressed lol:
In reply to steveo
oops yes!! One of the biggest mafias today!! Fyah bun dat deceitful organization with their man made madness..
In reply to Runs
Respect for each other is deeply ingrained in India? Yuh watching too much Bollywood
In reply to Runs
You could easily be talking about your Sharia countries,bruh!
In reply to steveo
the case runs post suggest than women in india, pakistan, middle east and other places dont report rape because of a lack of protection
as a result stats can be misleading in those places
In reply to Khaga
But I am not, that is a separate thread that you can start to divert this topic as you so often do
You know exactly what I am speaking about, a large young sexually repressed male population in a culture that frowns deeply on pre-marital sex

True, and I am sure, favoring boy children over girls is coming back to bite them.
In reply to steveoI always wondered why rapes in India was of such interest to the world media,I know about South Africa and the USA,but you don't hear much.It would be nice for the media to focus on India's progress in many other fields,they are not interested in that,it's good you let them know,good post.
In reply to granite
there is a big focus on rape in places where it appears the government does not offer enough protection for victims, that's all.
Trinidad 25,Guyana 28,where's Jamaica, and I wonder why that's the case,come eeen Jah Jah hexplain.I have an idea but me wah fi hear wah Jah Jah affi seh.
In reply to camos
Well,why don't they focus on TT and Guyana,they don't usually find the rapists and do very little to catch the people,I say people,I really mean animals.
In reply to granite
You sound like you are reacting out of anger than logic.
As camos stated, very little protection is offered to women, so the actual cases are probably 10 times worse.
In reply to black
granite brains. can't understand simple sentences.
In reply to JahJah
In reply to granite
Guyana and Trinidad hmmmm...now I wonder what they have in common?? Also is there a correlation between men of Indian culture and male confidence issues? That problem is widespread in the Middle East and other places of staunch and original religiosity,I mean just look at how they hide them in some places,it's like they're afraid their heated animal breeds with another,look how they mind and trade them in other places such as India,can it be a now innate defect of centuries of misguided teachings by cultures of woman scorn and scorn of the female reproductive system and cycle which ultimately leads to females being 'innately' viewed as lowly single purpose chattel for use ?
India is a significant and original contributor and manufacturer of world people and diaspora,whatever happened in India to create this widespread phenomenon can actually affect other countries,I know certainly this is true to many countries with recent migrant influxes,but it may be also true to many countries with significant diaspora distribution.
Anyway saw a list that has India in the top 4 and a few top rated countries at the top as well,no mention of Guyana or T&T,don't know how accurate it is,but the undeniable fact is India is a long established old world country molded on religious ideals and culture,they would be singled out for scrutiny if only for the accountability and hypocrisy,I would truly like to see The Vatican under such scrutiny as well..
No offence,just scope.
In reply to black
What do you want me to do,act out of sympathy for the fcuking murderers and rapists,are they ever caught in Guyana and Trinidad,I say Trinidad because it doesn't happen in Tobago.My previous post where you accused me of being angry was stupid,i wasn't angry,I am now angry because you appear to feel some sympathy for rapists in Trinidad and Guyana.
In reply to granite
Jah Jah starting to make sense.
Dude, I will volunteer to be the executioner of those bastards.
In reply to JahJah
Well Jah Jah,if there's very little protection for the Indian women,it's the same in Trinidad and Guyana,that is simple enough,even for me.Me know seh yuza ex Kingston Kallege bway and Hinglish ah yuh fuss language.
In reply to granite
I certainly don't know of this rape epidemic you talking about in T&T and I certainly have vulnerable ladies of interest out there,I mean I'm sure it happens too often and I'm familiar with some past cases, but I'm not familiar with an epidemic of Indian proportions on a seemingly methodically industrial scale with widespread active rape gangs playing catch me if you can..kinda like cartels..
In reply to bravos
I doubt any man needs to rape a woman in T'dad to have sex. It is a very free and open minded society. Culturally very sexual also.
Women are not prudes in T'dad.
In reply to Runs
They rape you!!
If they like you that is!
In reply to bravos
I didn't try to make out tha it was an epidemic in Trinidad, but I dont ever hear bout a rapist being caught, the fact that they kill the victim makes it even more horrendous, like Mr.Dale Seecharran, well, at least the police got him.
In reply to granite
His facebook friends are only good looking women who probably just accepted his frined requests..no chats nothing,he probably just wanted access to their pics,I think it's hundreds of good looking facebook faces..sounds twisted to me..actually saw the page..
