India is not a country of rapists: German Ambassador to India Michael Steiner

[kurup]

Britain has more rape so British people can't report rape in India.
Does this sounds correct to you?

Nope , I did not say that .

What I said was that they are more interested in putting India in a bad light than genuinely interested in highlighting the social issue .

If that was the case they would have actually started with their own country .

Here are the actual emails

And the response after a storm was created on social media:

Those people who were saying this whole propaganda is not stereotyping Indians, and saying the west is doing it for our own good, we should not shoot the messenger etc etc.....

Also for sepoys elsewhere who were desperately trying to portray India as a "rape culture" now are screaming dont generalize, this is bad. Hey stupids, if you put the entire culture as having an issue, dont forget that you are a part of it, and hence they will apply to you too.

This is serious WTF moment.......not not the German Ambassador, but the that Professor refusing to offer internship. I mean, this is the first time i've heard that a student was refused work because of some 'rape culture' Did that incident really happen? Such professors have no role in science and tech.

 

[kurup]

I think they just like to look down on non-Western and non-developed countries, in order to make themselves feel better.

That's why are obsessed with reporting social problems halfway across the word, while ignoring the same crimes happening in their own cities, which will be lucky to even get reported as a small story buried in local news. If they even make the news at all.

They are not interested in the actual social issue , they are more interested in scoring points like a normal PDF forummer .

Just to show the actual face of BBC ,

When BBC tried to cover up for a serial child rapist employee

It's actually about pushing through feminism, if you go through some of the ngos and other orgs involved, it becomes quite clear. The main ngo involved in this through other companies like PLAN is one called Vital voices, a Clinton created ngo with the objective of using Womens rights in foreign policy. Maybe later I could repost the chain, or just look around for it on other places (twitter other forums)

I don't really blame her. We have ourselves to blame. We made mountain out of a mole hill and now its out of control and anybody questioning the "accepted" version is now branded a bigot. Thanks a lot Indian Media and your cronies, you destroyed a young man's future. The day will not far when Indians will be attacked in Western streets suspected of being rapists.

This is a stupid tweet. There are tons of documentaries on social issues in Britain......

It is not merely looking down, else they would be creating just as much noise about rapes in Pakistan or Nigeria or South Africa, but no. Rape stories from India deserve special attention. Another angle is trying to brand India as a nation of slave owners.

Reacting to a news report about a professor from Leipzig University refusing internship to an Indian student because of the country's "rape problem", the German Ambassador to India, Michael Steiner, has written to Professor Annette Beck-Sickinger saying that India is not a country of rapists.

In her refusal to the male student, Professor Sickinger of the Institute of Biochemistry had refused the student citing the rape culture in India and had also said that many female professors across Europe were turning down male students from India.

In his letter to Professor Sickinger, Ambassador Steiner wrote:

"It has been brought to my attention that you denied an intemship to a male Indian student, giving "the rape problem in India" as a reason. Let me make it clear at the outset that I strongly object to this.

"The 2012 Nirbhaya rape case has refocused attention on the issue of violence against women. Rape is indeed a serious issue in India as in most countries, including Germany. In India, the Nirbhaya case has triggered a lively honest, sustained and very healthy public debate - a public debate of a quality that wouldn't be possible in many other countries. The Indian Government and Indian civil society organisations are very committed to tackling the issue.

"Yesterday we celebrated International Women's Day at the German Embassy here in Delhi with many local activists including many men. Your oversimplifying and discriminating generalization is an offense to these women and men ardently committed to furthering women empowennent in India; and it is an offense to millions of law-abiding, tolerant, open-minded and hard-working Indians. Let's be clear: India is not a country of rapists.

"I would encourage you to learn more about the diverse, dynamic and fascinating country and the many welcoming and open-minded people of India so that you could conect a simplistic image, which - in my opinion - is particularly unsuitable for a professor and teacher."

Britain has more rape so British people can't report rape in India.
Does this sounds correct to you?

A beggar laughing at the poverty of a 2 BHK flat owner in Mumbai, does this sound correct to you?

Why are you asking me. I thought I was an AAPtard.

That was the eternal optimist in me hoping I could make an AAPtard see logic. Sometimes I need a knock on my head to understand there are laws of metaphysics which cannot be circumvented.

 

[xyxmt]

I don't know if its a good thing or a bad thing to make this statement.

 

[Echo_419]

I don't necessarily disagree.

But why then, is the Western/International media only focusing on India for this issue lately?

I read the international news every day after reading my local news, they seem to have a fetish for social problems in India, especially this issue.

I blame our own TRP hungry Media than the West

I think they just like to look down on non-Western and non-developed countries, in order to make themselves feel better.

That's why are obsessed with reporting social problems halfway across the word, while ignoring the same crimes happening in their own cities, which will be lucky to even get reported as a small story buried in local news. If they even make the news at all.

They are still suffering from
A hangover of colonial times
