Is Uttar Pradesh scummier than some of the other states, or do they just seem to get more articles? It seems like we are getting one of these horrifying stores a week.
It is by far the highest population state in India. More people = more scandals. But even when you try to account for that, there's still an aweful lot of scandals coming out of Uttar Pradesh.
And many of those scandals involve local police or rich locals who believe that laws are for other people, but getting international attention does land them into trouble. So what we're seeing is probably just the tip of the iceberg, but that's true in other places as well.
I'm never going to India again, I'm sorry if I offend anyone from there, but it's the absolutely worst country I've ever been to. And I've been to some pretty bad countries.
India as a whole is like the Mississippi or Alabama of the world. You just can't stop the men from gangraping the women its impossible. Happens every couple of weeks its insane.
Experts say that a woman is raped in India every 16 minutes.
"Rape is a non-bailable offense in the Indian penal code," Anuja Trehan Kapur, a New Delhi-based criminal psychologist and advocate, told DW. Kapur has assisted government officials on high-profile criminal cases, including the 2012 gang rape.
"But people do get bail because of a lack of evidence [in many cases]. The accused are often sheltered by police, or politicians, or even lawyers," Kapur added.
We have a patriarchal society in India, which gives more importance to men. Women are usually considered second-class citizens,"
