Indian bus rape: Delhi sees rush for guns

32. There is no rape culture in India

any more than any other country.

In fact, since India has twice as many women as the US has people, the total number of rapes is actually lower than the US.

The issue is lethargic and apathetic response by authorities to the rape complaints and not an epidemic of rapes.

By and large, Indian culture celebrates gender equality. India has elected a woman prime minister twice and a woman president. Several MPs and ministers have been women. India's first foreign minister (Vijayalaxmi Pandit) was a woman, nearly 50 years before Madeleine Albright.

Hindu religion has very powerful goddesses as well as gods. In fact, anything worth possessing, fame (kirti), wealth (laxmi), knowledge (vidya), intelligence (buddhi), education (saraswati), power (shakti) is a feminine noun with a female goddess associated with it.

What you are implying is that Indian males are somehow more prone to rape a woman than other men in other cultures which is HOGWASH.

I grew up in India and manage three subsidiaries here. In fact, I'm in India right now and what you are ranting about with a two bit internet knowledge and using wildly political links shows that you are clueless. You may equally believe that a Nigerian dictator has left you $128 million and it is all yours after you pay a small fee of say $100K. It is on the internet so it must be true!
