no, i completely understand! i don't think other anon was defending india, but rather saying that there was some progress that hasn't necessarily been told by the media? i'm generally very skeptical of western media in the way that it paints developing countries so i don't really know


and this is completely related but i hate that phrase 'wake up' because every conspiracy theorist uses that and it makes me hate them and it

then i suggest reading an indian newspaper on any day. forget this incident, read it on any day. you will no doubt find 3-4 articles about crime against women. murdered, raped, abused. it is not about what people think anymore, it is not a perception, it is a fact. india treats its women like filth. if any women progress, it is because of their fortitude and their spirit and the improving economy, not because the political or social system is supporting them.

da but i feel like the misunderstanding of india's violence against women stems partly from people not wanting to look racist so they just hush up when problems in india arise and partly from people just not being aware of indian culture in general, both its positive and negative parts

which i understand and i appreciate, that people do not want to pass judgement on things without the facts, or they do not feel they have the knowledge an informed opinion would require. but the fact remains that this girl, this 23 year old girl, was raped and beaten to near death with a rusty, iron rod by seven different men for 3 hours and those men are alive and she is not. that she waited two weeks, fought for her life for two weeks, but could not see justice.

it doesn't matter who she was or where she was from, look what happened to her and please, judge us as a nation because we let it happen.

all i wanted to say, i may have generalized because i'm just so angry right now, is that women in india overcome so much to get where they are. of course i'm not saying all men are bad, but india is grossly patriarchal. it is a mindset. a man might treat me well and love me but he, somewhere, might still feel superior, even if it has no physical manifestation of consequence. women in india need help and support to change the mindsets of the men in this country and it is a large battle.
