It's not. Imagine if you heard of the shootings in America, and only the shootings. You'd think that every school or public place was dangerous, but in reality, shootings are rare generally.

India has a lot of rapey bastards, but it also has a population about twice that of Europe. India is definitely a shit hole that needs to be fixed, but it's hardly everywhere all the time.

And yes, it's really bad over there compared to the rest of the (western) world. They need to get there shit sorted. I also feel somewhat hopeful because from my experience, the younger educated population is "saner" and doesn't absorb the local culture (both good and bad parts) around them due to social media and what I call "Americanization."

As a woman, I would probably visit Saudi Arabia before I would visit India. India is literally the only country that a fellow traveler has ever recommended against going to to me.

Thanks for the heads up, I just saw the article pass by and found it interesting. I did check their source which is timesofindia. The source does contain everything mentioned in the article. Not sure how reliable timesofindia is as a newspaper though.

Just looked it up. Jeremy Hambly... of The Quartering. Didn't realize he co-founded a media outlet. Thanks, now I know to avoid it.

Uttar Pradesh is the Florida of the world, but like, way worse.

Because that's the only news being fed to Western audiences.

Some of them are also being eaten by wolves recently. The children, mostly. But that is not as common a problem as women being sexually assaulted is.

Haven't been thrown out of enough ambulances.

We all got to see this train wreck through to the end

In Uttar Pradesh, probably not.
