In Meerut, a two-year-old girl was kidnapped by a 20-year-old man, Moish, while she was sleeping outside her house. The family chased him, prompting him to throw the girl into a drain before fleeing. The girl’s body was recovered the next morning. The suspect has been arrested and an investigation is ongoing.
Just a reminder that India (Population: 1.4 Billon) has about 90 reported rapes per day, while the United States (Population: 333 Million) has about 365 reported rapes per day.
That means the USA has a per-capita reported rape rate 16x higher than India.
Everyone in this thread talking about how rapey India is are just being racist trash.
Rapes are underreported everywhere, but a 16:1 ratio is crazy and isn’t attributable to any difference in reporting rate (which is difficult to quantify anyway).
At the end of the day you only hear about the reported rapes, so if you’re relying on anecdotal evidence that India is worse about this, you’re wrong.
India just has a huge population, and westerners love focusing on negative news internationally.
