India is permeated with POS animals. The women should start packing pistols.

And yet some people in that part of the world insist of the view that women are somehow responsible for bringing the rape unto themselves. How the hell do girls ages 7, 9 and 11 bring rape unto themselves even by that twisted logic that women are somehow the ones that should avoid getting raped, rather than men avoid raping women? Not that its being claimed on this case, but it was (by the lawyer defending the accused men at least) in the case when the last woman got beaten and raped. And this is to sort of twisted thing that sort of mentality espouses, because it teaches men that its acceptable to rape, since its the victim's fault anyways.

I can't believe the insensitive comments on here, it makes me sick. My deepest sympathy for the victims is this country. No amount of money will ever replace THREE family members. Good luck to the protesters, I hope you find justice soon. I'm saddened that you have to fight this hard to protect yourselves.

Nezlee, more people need to arm themselves. And no i don't sell gun, i know how to shoot them and i know the value of one of them when it comes to home invations. Everyone in the neighborhood know who's home not to mess with. It's called 2nd amendment. Before congress takes it away from us!!!!

Talking about sick f###s. Send a drone.

Only a depraved monster would brutalized and murder young girls.... (and grown women). It is so sad that women have been seen as property and less than human for so long. We who live in the western hemisphere, tend to forget how women are being treated in the other parts of the world....

"The victims' mother said police did not take the case seriously and did nothing for several days until villagers held protests."

Awww, come on. Don't B so hard on them. They just took a page from the book of the great cops in Evansville, Iowa.

(extreme sarcasm)

The police officer who said they were accidental deaths is probably related to the rapist killer. Now they'll have to find someone to blame but probably not the real killer. Cops are the same all over the world.

VisionStorm, it is a terrible thing to sterotype and generalize. There are people right here in our country who also insist that women ask to be rape by they way they dress or the company they keep, not just "that part of the world."

@ANNIE 322924

Interesting you should mention arming the women! After the bus incident last December, I read an article that mentioned that one community was passing out knifes to women there for protection. I believe firearms would be better, but its something!

VisionStorm,

A lawyer has to do whatever he can to defend his client, or they can get off by way of mistrial. And men are taught not to rape at a very young age. Some men always will no matter what we tell them, and that is why women have to defend themselves and be careful.

India, keep fighting back you will find justice soon, I does exist. Keep ur heads up and your pocket knife close by, at very least you can collect DNA until this inhumanity stops.

U don't say-3994780

@PeopleFirst,

U R absolutely right; After all, when was the last time U heard about a stripper being raped?

Oh snap! Trick question. U can't rape the willing.....

;-)

since when is stripping consent for sex.....? You clearly do not know boundaries. By law stripping is legal if done w/i given perimeters, rape is not. YOu cannot make a stripper have sex with you because she is a stripper...she has the right to dance for you and that is all, anything more is prostitution, not stripping. You are directly putting strippers in harms way by your statement. Did you know that if someone on this thread goes out a rapes a stripper and then refers to your post you could be held accountable???? think before you speak.

Some of you are acting as if the brutal rape and murder of children never happen here in this country, but it happens almost on a daily basis, and yet you don't see any of you protesting in the streets for an end to the violence. Hell the only thing that will bring the wingnuts out to protest is when we elect a black man as president, and then it's as if the end of the world is upon us.

I didn't see one of you in the streets demanding justice when 100's came forward to accuse priests of pedophilia. I don't remember burning tires or the blocking of the interstate when Jon Bonnett Ramsey was killed and the police didn't even drag her parents in for questioning for an entire month. And what of Sandy Hook, 20 children brutally murdered and the only reason you got off your ass to protest was because you didn't want to give up your high capacity magazines and assault rifles.

We have more violence here than just about anywhere else in the world and yet you call the Indian people "POS animals".

The evidence would have been pretty obvious even to Joe Shmoe that the girls were violated and killed at such a young age. Makes one wonder if the police themselves or people they know are involved. Didn't investigate for days? The police station, not tires should have been burning. P.S. deprogram: In this country it is illegal to demand justice, you can be sued, arrested, and charged of inciting vigilantism. Which will seriously affect your life.

deprogrammer - The reason you don't see all that in the US is that we have a relatively non-corrupt justice system. Note the use of the word "relatively". There is certinally plenty of corruption but, it is generally not necessary to protest in such a manner because the official are responsive. Me thinks some in the U.S. either don't know or appreciate how well they have it.

Can they not put something in the water that would make the dicks of all men in India go limp? Idia is way overpopulated anyway.

Didn't they used to execute criminals by having elephants kneel on them? Lets bring that back.

The police force in India is a total joke and a bunch of lazy, corrupt, crooks. THEY are the reason so much crime there happens - because criminals know they will not be caught. Hang the bastards and start fresh.

What the hell is going on in India?!!!

This is the kind of society you get when you ban assault rifles and high capacity magazines...criminals with no fear and cops that can't be bothered.

So, you say the police will not act? This is exactly why they need a militia made up of the local villagers. When in the course of human events it becomes necessary to take up arms to do what your government is unwilling to do. Don't believe me? Listen to this guy...

"Among the many misdeeds of the British rule in India, history will look upon the Act depriving a whole nation of arms, as the blackest." -- Mahatma Gandhi (An Autobiography OR The story of my experiments with truth, by M.K. Gandhi, p.238)

"Among the many misdeeds of the British rule in India, history will look upon the Act depriving a whole nation of arms, as the blackest." -- Mahatma Gandhi

Arms in this context were military arms not the personal weapons of private individuals. The context of "depriving of the whole nation of arms" was the refusal of the British to conscript Indians into the British Army during the First World War. Gandhi was an extreme anti-militarist.

Don't slice a few words and create your own meaning and blame it on Ghandi.

U don't say-3994780 -

You don't even know the name of the town. And your comments about strippers are even more ignorant. Go crawl back into your hole.

India has different classes and it is the poor classes that are mostly affected by these crimes. The upper class like in America are insulated and get extremely good police attention.

I'm not sure what the gun laws are in India but if guns were as predominant as in America I'm sure their crimes would be just as easy and facilitated by those guns as is ours.

Fawna,

I know your comment was somewhat tongue-in-cheek, but that said...it's tough to put anything "in the water" in a country where most people don't even have running water.

JohnBrowning

"This is the kind of society you get when you ban assault rifles and high capacity magazines...criminals with no fear and cops that can't be bothered."

That makes absolutely no sense what so ever. How would banning assault rifles give criminals no fear? and make it so the cops can't be bothered? it would be just the opposite, if the criminals had assault rifles then they would have no fear and the cops would be the ones who are to afraid to be bothered with solving crimes.

Hey wait a minute, I thought you gun fanatics said that when guns were banned only criminals will have guns but now you are telling me that guns are banned in India and yet the criminals have no guns and the cops still wont do their job?

Hmm, it seems like every argument that you had for owing assault weapons just fell apart.

And anyway, we have just as many murders and rapes and child molestations in this country and yet guns aren't banned here.

@PeopleFirst-1548888

VisionStorm, it is a terrible thing to sterotype and generalize. There are people right here in our country who also insist that women ask to be rape by they way they dress or the company they keep, not just "that part of the world."

I agree and did not mean to stereotype. I was just going with what I've read before in other articles that blaming rape victims is more prevalent in India, which causes rapes to not be taken seriously and is part of the source of mass outrage on these cases.

But I know that people in the U.S. also blame the victim and what I said also applies to them--they're just espousing this sort of behaviour and effectively telling men that its acceptable to rape.

Two more countries to add to your "NO VACATION" list: India and Mexico.

Pretty soon, everyone will have to take vacations in their back yards.

In a region where religion and culture has kept the women as second class citizens for thousands of years, how can you expect that the illiterate male population to think otherwise?

You can get a clear picture of the culture if you will only read the portions of the old Testament where women are spoken of. Religion is just a reference point of how a society thinks and lives so try not to get your knickers in a wad about Muslims and Hindu's. Abraham, the most reverred person for multiple religions had hundreds of wives and concubines. He had hundreds of sons that were his pride, but his daughters are hardly mentioned except as trade goods.

In another thousand years Women will have full respect in all societies because they are now in the Combat Military of the largest Armies of the world and will eventually get a chance to castrate some of these societies as they (Islam) become more militant towards the west. The West needs to become less tolerant to these radical religions and see them for what they truly are, Rabid Dogs that need to be put down as inhumanely as possible. These people have been stuck in a time that was over two thousand years ago, so how can we expect them to act as if they belong to the 21st century? Much like the news story about the Cannibals and headhunters burning witches, they are living in another time and place, removed from the modern cultures. Google Executions and Islam to see how whole villages brutally stone innocent people to death as "God's Will" and ask yourself if these people would make good neighbors in the subdivision?

The only way things like this will ever cahnge is if the world society as a whole physically drags them into the modern world through a means they understand, violence.

Lazarus

You are confused, dude.

India is a multi-religious, multi-cultural democracy.

There are: Christians, Jews, Sikhs, Hindus, Jains, Muslims, Jains, etc.

Indian law is based on English law.

There is no "stoning".

The criminals, when caught, will be tried, convicted, and punished, according to the penal code. They will probably get death by hanging.

larry what bs are you talking about. seems to be a lot of insensitive people here ready to pull the gun. jeez. are you guys aware that since sandy hook massacre there has been over 2000 cases of death in u.s due to violence. there are criminal all around the world and there are psychopaths all over. if you want to look at our own sociesty here in u.s the fact is that there are far more criminal behavior hear than anywhere in the world. the u.s population is about 5% of the world population and yet we have 25% of jaild criminals in the world. and as far as women as second class, even here women are still getting paid 1/3rd less than men for doing the exact same job. that to me is also treating them as second class.

Fawna, I sincerely hope you meant your statement to be tongue in cheek. For too many years, the "civilized" west has been forcing their beliefs on 3rd world countries - and they don't want it. Just as you wouldn't like someone to tell you how many children to have, or force you to take birth control measures if you didn't want to - they certainly don't. Yes, they could stand to learn about our treatment of women - but even here, we don't always treat women well.

Would not have helped the children. Publicly firing the police officers, which would bring dishonor and poverty to their families would be more effective in getting other police to their jobs, as the fired ones would have to live with their shame and the effect it has on their dependents, and others would do better to avoid the same fate.

Fishing: People like you seem to convienently overlook that hundreds of millions of people have been starved, mutlilated, worked to death, shot, used for medical experiments, gased, burned, raped and tortured by every conceivable means possible, under ATHEISTIC regimes.

The reason this kind of barbaric act even takes places is because of the wickedness in man's heart. All of us are born into this world with a sin nature and to deny that reality is to reduce what has just happened in India to a mere debate on the evils of religion. People need to repent and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, not the Church of Rome, or Hinduism, or Buddism, or Islam or one of the many empty philosophies of men.

The difference, thinking, while a leader - good or bad, may have been an Atheist, no wars have ever been fought, and no person has been killed in the name of Atheism or for the glory of Atheism. Really it doesn't matter. 3 innocent young girls have been brutally raped and murdered in a culture that seems to allow it, and that's the tragedy.

Wonder if the victims of Stalin or Mao would agree, they were eliminated as enemies of the almighty (athestic) State.

thinkingman- Please list one of these ATHEISTIC regimes you speak of.

Fishing, did the article mention the religion of the victims? So, which religion, Hinduism or Islam, that caused this crime? Why not blame on the depraved men that did the act? Why make excuses for them?

ElkMeadow

Would not have helped the children.

Don't be so sure. We don't know if there was a witness who might have been able to stop them. Also we don't know if this was the murderers first crime, what if they had tried to do the same thing before to an adult woman who was armed? maybe they wouldn't have lived to kill the 3 girls.

And I agree that women should carry a gun.

@thinkingman-2605299

People need to repent and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, not the Church of Rome, or Hinduism, or Buddism, or Islam or one of the many empty philosophies of men.

So even Roman Catholics aren't "Christian" enough for you?

Typical radical Protestant - thank you for enlightening us that only you know what the Bible *really* means. Apparently hubris is a virtue, and Jesus really didn't mean what he said when he explicitly endorsed the founding of the Church in Matthew 16:18.

@ LSB-338320. HMM how about USSR, Nazi Germany, China. Need more?

How about religion has nothing to do with this. Evil always occurs. People just give it different names.

The name India is derived from Indus, which originates from the Old Persian word Hindu. *1

Constitution of India, the word "Hindu" is attributed to all persons professing any Indian religion (i.e. Hinduism, Jainism, Buddhism or Sikhism).^[1] In common use today, it refers to an adherent of Hinduism.*2

*2 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hindu

India and much of Asia, Europe, some of Africa are extremely religious, and you really don't need a specialist to lay it out for you.

fishing - relevant username

The main problem with India, is it has the most corrupt politicians in the world. Indian men murder women every day by throwing either acid or boiling cooking oil on them. Most women are required to urinate & defecate outdoors. Indian politicians actually rent a foreign submarine and crew for their Navy & are trying to build an aircraft carrier out of an old cruiser hull they bought from a scrapyard in Eastern Europe.

Fishing: People like you seem to convienently overlook that hundreds of millions of people have been starved, mutlilated, worked to death, shot, used for medical experiments, gased, burned, raped and tortured by every conceivable means possible, under ATHEISTIC regimes.

Poppy cock. There is no such thing as an ATHEISTIC regime. There have been atheist leaders who did atrocious things, and there have been atheist leaders who were great. It seems to me that every time a regime commits atrocities it is labled atheistic, whether that is true or not.

People do not kill in the name of atheism, how many wars were fought and how many people have been killed in the name of 'some' god.

What difference does it make if those girls dad died four years ago? What does that make it alright to rape children? or Women, period? India's a crappy 4th world country everyone knows that and we just get more proof everyday. What dirt bags Indian men are. Its hardly news to the rest of the world the place has always been a hole and Indian men are the reason it will never be a noble country. Go there! See the dump firsthand, its really discusting.

Read this news on another publication where it was stated that the dad of the three little girls died 4 years ago.

Read this news in another publication where it was mentioned that the dad of the little girls died 4 year ago.

I can't understand why mecindi is getting all those votes. Our culture is not one of "these only for men cultures," so what accounts for the rapes that happen here? Why blame an entire culture for the actions of a depraved person(s)? We throw a fit when others lable us as "big mouth Americans" yet we do not hesitate to paint an entire race or culture for the acts of a few.

Burn many bras lately there mecindi?

@PeopleFirst-1548888

Though I can see some logic in your reasoning, they do have a problem in India, recognized by its own population.

Recently on a very publicized atrocity, a gang raped a girl in a bus with a metal pipe with a hook and tried (maybe did) pulled her intestines out. When asked, they said it was "to teach her a lesson" (maybe because she was a college student). These are little girls, and though rape might be a common thing everywhere in the world, savage brutality accompanied by murder is rare. Obviously these men are not even worried to be recognized because they don't bother to kill male companions.

Well, India did toughen up its rape penalties to a maximum of 20 years. Both of these crimes are also murders - what's the punishment for that? Is there a pedophilia punishment enhancement for these last three children? Crimes against females is taken more seriously in India than in its' neighbor, Pakistan, but one wonders how the police didn't even seem to notice the violence perpetrated upon these little girls. Were the cops that handled this case Sharia Muslims, or is apathy just a result of having almost 1.2 billion people living in your country. Maybe the cops were Drew Petersen wannabes.

The punishment is death by hanging.

If these things happen only in far away lands, how do you explain Steubenville, or Catholic Priests, or the so many cases of serial killers going after hookers.....?

In India COWS are treated with more dignity and respect.

I'm referring specifically to the casual abduction, rape, and murder of women and girls for as a form of entertainment.

And I can't say this doesn't occur in modern America too. Lots of missing children and runaways are never found.

Lots and lots of atrocities in the first world too. Nobody can deny that.

But at least here the police seem to recognize that it's a crime, not laugh in your face for bothering to report it.

Gabs, I can't stand it when people make comments like yours. You know nothing of the culture or the country, yet you generalize about how cows and people are treated in India. If you take the time to learn about what we think is strange, you will get a greater appreciation of the world.

PeopleFirst... didn't you read Gabs' comment? There's no generalization about how people are treated. It's a very specific comment about the raped and murdered girls. Are you saying that it's common for cows to be raped and murdered? Weird.

I see worse, in the good 'ole USA---every time I pick up a paper.

Do not try to generalize about an entire nation of 1.3 Billion people.

It would be impossible to have a population that large, and not have any crime at all.

There is crime in every nation on earth.

I see worse, in the good 'ole USA---every day of the week.

Just off the top of my head-- remember the Newtown shootings--where many children were shot?

So, does that make every white male a crazed mass killer--because the USA is tops for mass shootings? Not to mention, pedophilia, serial killers, etc.

The media can not cover every crime in every nation. There are similar crimes going on everywhere--

the media CHOOSES what to focus on. So why don't they cover rapes/murders in China? ( Oh, wait, that is not an open society, like India) So why don't they cover Mexico (Oh, wait, beheadings are too gruesome...)

wiseone-358999

LOL

I see you around this whole thread, defending the undefendable probably out of patriotism to your own country. You have to look above national pride and towards solving a national problem in your country.

(See my comment to your last post).

You are wrong--if you think I am defending the criminals.

What I am trying to point out--is that you can not judge 1.3 Billion people by the actions of a few.

This is what many are trying to do.

Please--as if--there is no crime anywhere else in the world--sarcasm.

This kind of thing has been happening since the beginning of life. It happens all over the world in nearly every species.

You can't possibly understand the mind set of these men. For generations they have been taught that women are only chattel with no real value except to have children. What is worse, because this is in a remote area of the country it could very well be caste related, where the lives of people of lower castes have no value.

I, for one, really cannot understand that mindset. Don't they have mothers, sisters, daughters whom they love? Don't they realize that the women they are hurting are mothers, sisters, daughters to someone else? Wouldn't they have had enough interaction with their own female family members to realize that they are also HUMAN?

Why do you people insist that rape and other crimes are results of India's caste system or religion? People take what they read as the only truth. Some education will go a long way in understanding the world. Have you ever wonder what the world thinks of the crimes here. The only difference in the crimes there and here is the world status of our country. We call them third world and we call ourselves industrialized. I saw someone here went as far as to say "first world." Crimes happen everywhere, but it makes us feel good to point out how uncivilized "those" people are and how superior we are.

PeopleFirst - I think the thrust of the story and comments her are in regards to the reaction to the police which is, arguably, rooted in the Indian culture. You're right that a crime is a crime no matter the "status" of the country, the difference is that in modern countries that value human rights those crimes are taken seriously. If the police would have promptly investigated this crime, we would never have heard about it.

Didn't you read the article?

The villagers --both men and women--protested, and successfully pressed the case.

Clearly, there are many good people who do care.

PS: There are womens' rights groups, etc. over there as well.

Start punishing the police where it hurts--in their pride and wallets.

In cases like this where the police refused to do anything, they should get the same sentence as the people who committed the crime.

I agree with all of you. The penalty for rape and death/coma resulting from rapes has increased. Now it is up to the officials to do their jobs. Therein lies the problem.

PeopleFirst-1548888,

I agree with you.

Do apes kill their babies for sex?

India is a lawless country still living in the Maharaja mentality; only there are too many of those with ill-gotten money to bribe away the 'law-enforcers'. Big talks about respecting women and trash-talking the neighbor Pakistan/Afghanistan etc for the way they treat women, while they have no respect at all for human life. Any country professing about human rights should take all its business and diplomatic presence from that god-forsaken country till they become a civic, law-abiding society, without regard to profits that the huge Indian mob brings to their business.

Too much population, too little life...

Every nation on Earth has crime.

Joseph, and the first time a women shoots an intended rapist, how fast do you think she would be tried and convicted? Pretty damn fast. Until laws are changed AND enforced to make women something more than possessions and 4th class citizens you are trading the one crime for another, innocent women coming out on the wrong end of justice.

Laws need to be changed but, more importantly, attitudes need to be changed! I had thought that India was more modern in their attitudes towards women than their neighbors like Pakistan and Afghanistan. Unfortunately, that is not the case. Until women are recognized as equal citizens and not property, this abomination will continue.

@Beth 4489821

As the judicial system there stands now, you are probably right! On the other hand, I'd rather be judged by 12 than carried by 6!!

@Moto87

While I agree with you for the most part, I think it is pretty certain that any woman would be convicted if she stopped a rape because she shot her intended rapist before the rape happened. Therefore, no rape she goes to prison for shooting an innocent man in their eyes. Can't even imagine how many times over and over she would be raped in prison. I'm not so sure which is better.

Sad beyond words, but most likely a fact.

The girls were 7, 9 and 11. Much to young to be able to protect themselves with a gun, Joseph.

Well, this is a good point to raise. As we all know, the US constitution is 220 years old. The 2A is 220 years old. How many other countries have followed the US model, and granted their citizens easy access to guns?

I was thinking the same thing. So the post mortem showed they were brutally killed, yet they were able to first dismiss the case as accidental? Unreal...

No kidding! I do like where the villagers came together to protest though - the more voices working in unison, the better chances of changing things. Those poor, poor parents. My heart breaks for them.

The same thing struck me -- how could they dismiss three girls being raped and murdered as 'accidental?'

There is crime in every nation on earth.

Read a newspaper---look around.

There is crime every day in the good 'ole USA--mass shootings, rapes, murders, pedophilia, arson, you name it.

At least in India, ordinary citizens are exercising their democratic rights--and protesting. How many Americans came out to protest after Newtown?

SFDad, as I have stated before, if you want to stop supporting countries who treat women like this, STOP BUYING products made there.

It all begins and ends with the consumer.

Check the labels of the items you purchase.

Stop expecting the government to do your job.

BUY AMERICAN MADE.

It can be difficult and more expensive, but many products ARE made here.

If we as a country start buying AMERICAN MADE products, the big corporations will slowly get the picture. When people stop shopping at Walmart/Target, etc. their profit margins will tell them.

I agree with SF Dad, the only way India will sit up and take notice is when the rest of the world intervenes. We might be able to buy American, but we still get the Indian customer service reps who nobody can understand anyway.

Janine, that doesn't solve the problem one bit. My husbands company is a US company dealing with US made products supporting US customers only. They have something like an 80% share of the market. Want to guess where they outsourced all their level 1 technical support last year? Just because their made in the US doesn't mean they don't still outsource other positions to places like India - and until you're in a position to deal with that department, you have no way of knowing.

Why don't we worry about intervening in the US instead--where 1 in 3 women are raped, a number likely far below India.

Spot on Puck!

Puck - According to a 2005 survey by National Violence Against Women, 18% of women in the US will experience rape or sexual assualt. Too a high number to be sure but half of what you said.

Now, why don't you go find the statistic for India and let's do a fact based comparison. Don't forget to account for the likely under-reporting of rape in India based on stigma and the fact that law enforcement won't do anything anyway.

Please don't equate them to canines. They are depraved human beings, and the world is full of them.

Realistic..."These so-called men are nothing but rabid dogs and should be put down as such". I used the same phrase one time and a friend brought to my attention that a dog doesn't know it is rabid - it simply acts. It is those around it that understand it is diseased - will harm others and must be destroyed.

Until India truly values females - of all casts - truly understands the depth and breadth of this 'disease', they themselves will continue to live in a rabid society with no hope of true change and culling of their disease toward women. It will not be easy. That said - catch and kill the baxtxrd(s). Do it publicly. Do it as often. Spare not a single one.

Amen Arwen. They should all have my four favorite body guards, namely: Smith & Wesson and Ruger & Sturm.

And what kind of backward hell hole of a country do killers roam around shooting children in schools? Oh, that's the US.

Criminals exist everywhere. Get out of your prejudices.

Time to think if the rest of the world should pressure on the US to regulate guns to end gun related barbarism or else face boycotting by the rest of the world!

Puck and Rick, most of the posters here won't understand what you are saying. They rather play ostrich and claim that terrible crimes don't happen in our country.

% of rapes in India is far less than the US.

Lili the problem is the mindset of the men there. As stated above women are at best 4th class. The culture needs to change. Another point that I did not even think of was brought up above as well. It could be a caste issue too.

Puck, Bring facts not empty opinions. Can you prove your statement? Or is your point that the US is the worst of all? None can be as bad as the US? Get a life.

How is what some criminals and police do a war on women? Terminology has gone crazy today.

The percentage of rapes are far less in India due to the high rate of "accidents" that are actually rape and murder. It's terribly ironic that you would write such a thing after reading this article, or did you even bother with that part? People in the U.S. also used to keep this stuff hushed. You weren't supposed to talk about what was done to you if you were molested as a kid or raped. The lid has been at least partially ripped off these kinds of cases but the average child molester still goes through as many as 200 kids before they're incarcerated. They don't affect the statistics until their actions are known. I prefer our flaws be exposed than to see society cloaked in false righteousness like in the golden age of morality that never was.

Virginia, yet if you have the right name, right amount of money or the right social status, you can get away with a lot right here in the US. Our flaws are not exposed. You are just fooling yourself.

what is wrong with the male population in India

lilirocks, I asked myself the same question recently.

The culture there is definitely the problem and taking effect on the criminal minded. It sure is a rising problem because even if rapes were not always reported in the past, or ignored by authorities, brutality and murder surely was always reported.

Generalize much???

There are 1.3 Billion people in India---

It has nothing to do with the male population of India. It happens all over the world.

http://opinion.inquirer.net/43579/womens-rights-turning-point-in-india-triumph-in-manila

Also a major factor has been police laxness in dealing with rape reports and
increased impunity by rapists owing to the victims’ feeling that the legal
processes are stacked against them and their wish to avoid the stigma associated
with being raped or abused. India is, in this regard, much like other
societies, and is little different from, say, the United States, which analyst
Shenali Waduge, citing government estimates, says tops the rape chart.
