After the Nirbhaya rape case....India was literally being called the rape capital of the world....do you think if someone put out some absurd number like 100000 girls being raped in India everyday wouldn't have mattered?
Numbers do matter especially if some is raising a serious issue......u can't just brush it off like that....chiding everyone who dares to question it......By questioning the numbers people are questioning the scale on what it was happening.....32000 is an alarmingly high number and one is bound to ask a lot of related questions....
I don’t know and I don’t care to know about the exact number but i am more interested to know if this is happening at all and what could be the possible measures to be taken to combat this.
I personally never said the numbers shouldn’t be questioned. Each to their own. But if that is all we are bringing to this conversation then how are you any different from the people who are allegedly inflating the numbers. Both the groups seem to be ignoring the actual problem here.
