Eh, the media keeps playing up these rape stories in India. But if you look for cold hard statistics, there's no numbers to back it up. On any international survey India does not come out high in terms of rapes per capita. For that matter, the same is true for Arab countries.
Okay, you can say they're being undercounted in these countries. Fine, but that's just plausible conjecture, nothing more. I'd say be suspicious whenever a trend has been picked up the media. After the high-profile bus incident in New Delhi last year this has been a big meme. I say, show the statistics that this actually a major problem. I'd ask the same question whenever the U.S. media tries to play up white hate crimes, when most hate crimes are not even committed by whites.
