>le rape capital Why are westerners so much virtue signalling pretend moralfags? BBC and CNN also constantly post anti-Indian articles, is it because you still hold a grudge or are there too many pakistanis in your newsroom?
>So India is the most dangerous place in the world for women, according to a survey of 550 experts on women’s issues by the Thomson Reuters Foundation. One of the reasons for this assertion, apparently, was the level of sexual violence against Indian women.
>So, let’s start with some comparative statistics. Most comparisons are odious, rape comparisons are more odious than most, and no comparison in this article is intended to minimise the magnitude of the crime. But comparisons are the only way to understand whether it is right for India to be constantly singled out for more opprobrium than other countries.
>Something very odd has been going on in the Western media’s perception and portrayal of rape in India, something that is matched only by their own positively skewed image of themselves. The 550 experts seem to have been hiding under a rock, reading only the papers that give wall-to-wall coverage of rape in India while quietly ignoring the epidemic in their own backyard.
>The per capita figures for rape for 2010 (nothing more recent is available on the net) are: India – 1.8 (per 1,00,000 population); Germany – 9.4; the UK – 17; Norway – 19.2; the US – 27.4; Sweden (yes, the most advanced society on earth) – 63.5. The last beggars belief, even if we assume that the definition of rape is much more stringent and reporting is infinitely easier than elsewhere.
It is because people hold India to a higher standard than Africans but you turn out to be actually worse

>So what are we talking about when we say India is ‘the most dangerous place in the world for women’? India is deemed by much of the foreign media to be the rape capital of the world but the same media seem to be able to handle high rape figures in their own countries without experiencing the same outrage and horror.
>Even after taking into account the fact that the real figure for India is undoubtedly much higher owing to the factors that stop women from reporting it, statistics for the other countries are troublingly high.
>On Tuesday, the CNN website reported the ‘India is the most dangerous place in the world’ story and said: “India has long grappled with the issue of sexual violence.” Oh yeah? Pity America hasn’t started grappling with its rampant epidemic.
>When UK figures reported a 20% rise for rape in London, there was no BBC World bulletin running a headline story on this shocking figure and what might be the social and cultural factors that produced the British beasts who committed these crimes against women. Yet the same programme often holds discussions on rape in India with anchors shaking their heads mournfully about the vileness of it all and asking whatexactlyis it about Indian society that can produce such villainy.
>In reporting the 20% rise in February, the Independent merely noted the news quietly with a headline that went: “London sees 20% rise in rape reports in a year, but police admit they ‘don’t understand’ the reason: ‘There is something going on with sexual offending in London that we don’t fully understand’ said the police.”

You fail to understand why gangrapes on busses horrify westerners? Or raping a girl with the entire village and then put them on fire?

>What a temperate, calm response to an astonishing surge in rape. There was no broad discussion or analysis of culture or male behaviour, no hand wringing, no anguished revulsion, no self-hating editorials. But when it’s rape in India, journalists and anchors hammer away confidently at everything they find to be retrograde about Indian society, namely its brutish men and sickening patriarchy.
>While the British press have been bemoaning rape in India for several years now, the Rape Crisis Centre website says that “Approximately 85,000 women and 12,000 men are raped in England and Wales alone every year; that’s roughly 11 rapes (of adults alone) every hour.”
>This, just a year after the 2012 Nirbhaya gang rape in New Delhi. Yet in their reporting of this crime – admittedly singular because of the sheer inhumanity of her tormentors – no one thought to say ‘Oh, and by the way, we’ve got a bit of a problem here at home too.’ The same depiction of India as demon country continued, notwithstanding the results in 2014 of a major EU survey showing one in three EU women experienced some form of physical or sexual abuse since the age of 15.

>It is bewildering why educated and well informed journalists in Europe and America fail to be aware of what they are doing when they report on rape in India in one fashion – with great blasts of moral righteousness – and on rape in Europe and America in another.
>Is it the desire for easy sensationalism? Is it a certain latent racism that makes it easier for the media to portray India as a rapists’ paradise? Is it ignorance? Surely not when the statistics are available on all manner of reliable websites? Is it some nefarious strategy to deflect attention from their own shortcomings?
>None of these seems in the least bit plausible. It remains a mystery. The purpose of making this comparison is not to suggest for a moment that, just because America or anyone else has a higher per capita figure of rape than India that it somehow lets India off the hook. Not at all. Each rape in each country is a loathsome crime.
>The tragic fact is that rape is widespread all over the world and the West is no exception. So the sooner the Western media start treating it as a universal crime found (sadly) in all cultures and societies at present, the better it will be – for efforts to deal with the crime and for the sake of intellectual honesty.
Blake Rodriguez
India has a high population, so of course there are going to be more horror cases.
Just ignore the hindu fanatic. Whenever you confront them about the rape epidemic in India, these retards will continue to bring up same the fake statistics.
You don't even need to go that further to see how rapey Indians are, just check girls pics on Instagram or Facebook, they are pajeet magnets
Henry Ross
Groping and sexual harassment is widespread in India. Many Indian school girls simply refuse to walk long distances to school, because they are targeted by indian incels
>A group of 11-graders in the Indian village of Gothra Tappa Dahina sparked a public revolt because they were tired of being harassed by men as they walked to school in a neighboring town. Nearly every day on the road, they said, they would be circled by young men buzzing them on motorbikes, grabbing their scarves, their bodies, and calling them sexually provocative names.
>Street harassment — called “eve teasing” here — has long been a problem in Indian society, which remains deeply patriarchal despite years of economic growth and superficial signs of change. Now, the widening imbalance between numbers of men and women in the country is exacerbating the problem, public safety officials believe.
Jaxon Smith
Because they want India to improve. They see potential and more freedom that the Chinese. Try to treat these as a challenge to abolish patriarchy and caste system. Im sure that once these problems are solved, western media will never find fault in a common indian.
Brandon Evans
This guy is right desu. It's because we have higher expectations of India than from most other Asian countries.

Luis Gutierrez
Faggot, stop crying on a japanese origamy board about india bashing in western media.
Tyler Clark
There’s no such thing as india bashing
Charles Thomas
Fuck d*mocracy. People are too stupid to take decisions for themselves.
Nicholas Fisher
It is a thing in India, and Op-eds have been written about it and western media has done nothing to convince us otherwise.
It's worthless to talk sense to a degenerate Frenchman anyways.
Asher Price
I apologize if I offended you, I didn’t mean to and have only friendship for India and Indians
Have a good day

Nobody in their right mind who posts here genuinely cares about whatever rape statistics are in India. It's irrelevant. Don't take that offensively. As far as "normies" go of course they're going to moan and whine about whatever your rape stats are because the west has become increasingly gynocentrized ever since first wave feminism and increasingly so since the 60s-70s and even more so in this last decade. But like us they don't genuinely care either. They're going to bitch and moan for a few articles on Time and Vice and move on to further fucking up their own culture.
So in short, don't worry about these stupid articles.
William Kelly
