Hi mate Just Read a report on India According to the British medical journal The Lancet (9 January 2006), over 10 million female foetuses (1 in every 25) have been aborted in India since 1994. The journal also reports that prenatal sex-selection in India causes the loss of 500,000 girls per year. That is 3 Years Old, i dont know what's going on Now, is it increasing ? Here are a few more facts Rape Every 29 minutes Molestation Every 15 minutes Sexual Harassment Every 53 minutes Murder Every 16 Minutes Cruelty act Every 9 minutes Dowry Death Every 77 minutes These facts are 2-3 years old, so can you Guys Guess what would be the current situation Getting Better Getting Worst
You can search on Google mate http://abcnews.go.com/Health/story?id=2728976&page=1&page=1 http://rupeenews.com/2009/09/12/fem...n-baby-girls-killed-right-before-after-birth/ http://deaconforlife.blogspot.com/2009/09/why-are-ten-million-women-missing-from.html http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/7466916.stm You can find thousands links on Google
Ok, this explains the "missing" girls. Where did you get the other stats from? In China a similar situation exists. http://www.atimes.com/atimes/China/IB13Ad02.html http://www.theatlantic.com/issues/96apr/orphan/orphan.htm Because of the 1 child policy, many families prefer a male son and desert a female. There are also state-run orphanage houses for deserted girls.
What about the United States: http://www.ncvc.org/ncvc/AGP.Net/Components/documentViewer/Download.aspxnz?DocumentID=33522
That's old my friend..Right now poverty and bribery are India worst nightmare..I just found out that only a small fraction of the population working on the high tech industry( about 2 millions) while 90%-95% are doing odd jobs according to CNN reports.
Thanx for the info mate; But some time i just wonder how Indian Media Portray the picture of Beautiful India, Incredible India and also Democratic India. I know the situation is even worst, as i visited india a few months ago, Apart from a few big cities there is lot of poverty and crime as well. Have you got any latest figures which i mentioned earlier. cheers
That's very true mate. Not only the media, the people also portray it India as an angel country. Look around this forum..most Indians are so patriotic mate, dey won't criticized India like that.
at time of marriage women are expected to bring belongings/money/jewelery for her husband If girl does not bring enough to satisfy her in-laws than she is tortured (mostly) mentally and reminded of it again and again, leading her to severe mental depression and suicide wiki has it explained pretty nicely and correctly http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dowry_death
India is much better than many places in the world. because of the large size of the population, the figures looks frightening. e.g. US has a murder rate of 0.043 per thousand compared to India's 0.034 per thousand. In UK every year, 13400 rapes are reported while in India the number is around 15500. India's population is 18 times that of UK. Would you say India is a safer place compared to US and UK? (the data is a bit old, but not so old that it can be disregarded). http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/cri_rap-crime-rapes http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/cri_mur_percap-crime-murders-per-capita
No..People report rape In US, CA, UK and some of the West countries. Specially in US, people reported dey was rape sometimes its not even true. That's not the point for India..India #5 at that list, believed me if all these rape that happened in India being reported the number will around millions.
Im not indian but there are other countries raping rates are much higher per captha. unfortunately not so new statistics: http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/cri_rap_vic-crime-rape-victims http://www.christianparty.net/rapereportsworldwide.htm (have no relationship, found from google but includes trusted source links) You may tell some rapes are not reported but even 1 in 9 woman reported it becomes the same as russia, israel and some other countries. (no offense to any country)
People would likely to report a rape in third world countries..They won't get nothing expcept loose dey reputations. from http://www.christianparty.net/
Atleast 80% of the rapes are reported in cities. Rural part has lesser rate. Fake rape cases are also not less in India.
I agree the population in India is more so the figures seems to be big, try comparing it with china it will be less. See there are bad human and good human in all the countries, not all of us are too good to be good or too bad to be gangster. Its the situation that drives people to commit crimes, rapes and theft. So we cannot conclude that one country is the worst of all.
hmmmmmmmmm........... Is it bcoz women dont have much rights and they are afraid of going to Police stations compare to west where women got more rights and they report
