Guardian: India is the most dangerous country for women. It must face reality

[TheCrazy]

I am not proud of the fact that India has been named the most dangerous country in the world for women in a recent Thomson Reuters Foundation survey.

Perceptions of how women should be treated create a rape culture.

It is a jolt to see India scoring worse than war-torn countries such as Afghanistan or Syria or monarchies such as Saudi Arabia, where women have few rights. Everyone expects more and better for women from India, the world’s largest functioning democracy. That is precisely why it shocks.

India is in denial of the fact that a majority of its women do not feel safe alone on the streets, at work, in markets, or at home, even though they have learned how to cope with this existential anxiety. When I asked young educated women in Delhi if they feel safe, most said no. And most of those who said yes had learned to modify their behaviours to feel safe – they don’t go out alone unnecessarily; come home at night before dark; get permission to go out; are always careful and alert; and they censor their speech, their clothes and their body posture, including whether or not they look men in the eyes.

Indian women are in a constant state of vigilance, like a country on terrorist alert. Satish, a 52-year old banker, told me: “For rape there is no fixed time: always be alert.” No democracy is a democracy when half its population lives in fear.

Guardian is correct. India has a culture of rape.

It's a backwards disgusting country.

It is not fake news. Rape is a major problem India. A male from the household always accompanies the female most of the times to ensure that she is safe.

India seriously need to put ban over her soft core P0rn industry aka Bollywood and regional woods influenced by Bollywood. That's major root cause. I mean what you will expect from population who grow up watching movies where hero has license to eve tease, women are ready to spread legs for hero and villain are ready to do it by force.
