Oh wow, just when I thought I couldn't be more disgusted by India for its rape culture, I come across this. Call me racist but I will never set foot in that country.
Upvoters of comments like this should be ashamed of themselves.
I'll quote an article for you: http://www.more.com/news/india-rape-capital-world
"India only ranks third for the number of rapes reported each year. What country ranks first? The United States. In India, a country of over 1.2 billion people, 24,206 rapes were reported in 2011. The same year in the United States, a nation of 300 million, 83,425 rapes were reported. In the United States, every 6.2 minutes a woman is raped."
Whoops! So that means you shouldn't set foot in the US too!!! And if you are already staying in the US pack your bags and move to let's see... How about Saudi Arabia? The reported cases are way lesser than US or India so it should be safe right?
EDIT: And that is why I gave an example of Saudi Arabia having lesser "reported" cases than India or USA.
That's precisely why there was a revolution of sorts in India regarding rape and reporting of cases. Why do you think the Indian people took to streets and stormed into one of the most well guarded places in the World: the President's House (Rashtrapathi Bhavan. See this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tWVGWH1e5xQ) if not for bringing a change in the society? How many countries do you see this happen where the general public takes to the streets to demand equality for women and their rights?
The problem is that people outside India chose to focus more on the rape culture itself rather than the response to it by the Indian public and that pains me as an Indian.
