You have made me laugh by comparing Canada & US with India ... perhaps you have forgotten that India is located in South Asia, third world... Though we have been cultured in different sectors but regrettably we have been learning civic sense repetitively, Laugh all you want hun, when you reasoning is "Diverse Demography" I'm simply showing you that there are MANY nations with a diverse Demography not facing the same attitude towards sexual violence against women. Diverse Demography does not justify anything. If you're comparing cultural socialization, that's a different matter- I'd agree 100% that India's cultural attitude towards women- especially rape- is 180 degree's different than other countries, but it isn't due to Demographics 😆 or "diversity" Your words, not mine. I just worked with what you gave. ... Since 80% of our Nation is retrograde, thus education is also deficient there ... It is cool to give sermons about India sitting abroad but the reality is NOT what Ekta Kapoor has publicized the world through television series. I don't know if it necessarily has to do with education, we can't blame schools- but rather, the values we give our children from a young age. Socialization starts at Home, and cultural values and gender roles enforce or contradict the initial socialization conducted at home. "Sermons sitting abroad" I don't know, I think Rape is Rape. It's a universal issue and condition. It's a universal plight for a female sitting anywhere, and if the issue is simply going to be attributed to "demographics" I think any female from anywhere would notice the fallacy in that thought. Maybe even Ekta Kapoor 😉

The Republic of India is homegrown to the most inspirational as well as the most disheartening facets of the democratic practice. On the one hand, elections are impartial and systematic; there is a forceful press and an autonomous judiciary; and Indians are permitted to express, absorb and manage themselves in their own idioms than in supposedly older nations and allegedly more advanced democracies. The nourishment of linguistic diversity is a precise attainment; the 17 varied writings on the rupee note representing an ultimate of democracy with assortment, which disgraces many states fragmented by discord over philological. On the other hand, legislators in India are immoral and the police often vicious, the bureaucracy is bungling, and the dissections of caste, class and religion harvest much social disgruntlement. I think Rape is considered wrong in all of those 17 varied writings/languages. The issue is not diversity. It's the perpetuated culture of victim blaming, "she had it coming" "why was she out late/dressed like that" etc. That issue is that although universally rape is considered a crime, is wrong, culturally, and socially- even within the educated, so let's not use education as a shield here- there is the socialized inclination that the female is at fault. That is something unique to a developing nation such as India (I wouldn't say third world, It's a BRIC Nation with an abundance of resources and is on the cusp of becoming an Economy in Transition). For instance, India provides some of the highest scientists, doctors per capita, some of the highest rates of foreign students entering Canada and the US, I wouldn't say education is the issue: It's culture.

Real reasons of Indian anarchy are clatters between old traditional morals and new contemporary democratic ethics. These clashes are expected. Every nation has over gone through this kind of clashes or civil wars. Up till now India was living with old traditional norms. New technologies, new way of Indian youngsters wants variations. We must comprehend that societal and partisan changes occurred very leisurely. We Indians are hoper and we know India must accept new democratic standards otherwise it will disaster, in near future India will transform, no society remain forever in chaos !

^That may be a better prespective or reasoning- India is in transition from the old to the new, and fits better with my understand of it being a social/cultural issue. Not Demographic 😊

I'm actually more embarrassed about how the issue is being treated more than anything.

Before feeling so embarrassed about your neighbouring country care to check up on the stats?

Its bad with the rape cases anywhere in the world but by no means can India be given the distinction of maximum rapes in the world as clear from these figures. Check it .


I was going to ask where you obtained the information that India tops the rape statistics? I do not believe that is the case; the rape stats for the US and other European countries is pretty high.

If that were the case, even being an Indian ethnically but not by nationality, why the embarrassment? The people who should be embarrassed are the people rapists and the members of the justice system that let them get away with it.

Whether I am embarrassed or not because India is known as 'The rape country', I am not sure. But the way this issue is treated I am really embarrassed.
The Govt: has come with a clumsily drafted 'Sexual harassment law' in which whatever statement the woman who tells she is a rape victim has to be accepted and action has to be taken against the person, whom she has alleged. And this law has caused a lot of false cases to be filed.

This is how one of the recent case filed stands. One woman employee complained she didn't receive one month's pay and her manager was totally mean to her and he only is responsible for that. The manager in his statement told, 'She never reported to work in the whole of January which caused a lot of problems in the company.'

This was her own statement, 'The weather in Jan is cold and foggy. I never felt like coming to the job. Things could be better, if only this manager understood me. He deserves to be punished for not understanding me.' The manager is suspended as the law demands the same. But how do you all feel based on these statements of the manager and the woman? Where is the country going? Are the women employees supposed to be treated like princesses?
