Fuck, my countrymen are embarrassing.
I would furiously agree that some are, yes. While I do think there is some universal Indian social programming that deteriorates the Inner game of Indian guys, the guys harassing women like this are the extreme representation of a smaller piece of that rather than the norm. And they almost always from the lower end of the socioeconomic ladder. A significant lack of education and resources turn them to the extremes.
I disagree and think this behaviour is endemic throughout the castes and socio-economic classes from Dalit to Brahmin, poor to rich. That was my experience in the country where educated guys I knew behaved at times in ways towards women that was pretty fucked up from a western point of view. The big story however is not some white woman getting jizzed on at a bus stop but the abuses that takes against Indian women in the back country in places like Madhya Pradesh or Bihar. Some of the news stories that make it out of there are pretty shocking.
It's not only in India either. Here in the UK whenever there is a news story about a doctor being struck off for sexual misconduct ( groping, unnecessary examination etc. ) you can almost always guess he is Indian before you read his name. It's so often it's funny. I watched 'To catch a predator' on youtube a while back and the funniest ones were Indian IT guys fresh off the boat and working high salaried jobs in the valley.
It's inevitable in places where men are so repressed and denied relief from their natural urges. If you're 26 and a virgin you're going to do anything for a bit of relief.
I bolded why I wish your disagreement was based more on credible sources rather than a desire to race troll. And that's heavy on the forum; so not surprised.
You won't see many "news stories" involving Indians in more positive contexts but that's not because they don't exist.
Otherwise, I don't have much more to add to Slim Shady's excellent response.
