    I'm sorry, this is not a funny thread at all, but kudos for this post related to northern India. :)

    Total BS. Acting like south is safer for women and even treats women better is a total joke. It's full of sex houses where untouchables are forced to be sex slaves for life. Don't make this a regional war because you won't win.

    This is true but I don't think that makes the south any more or less safe. Andhra Pradesh is one of the most unsafe parts of India.

    In what country does only 5 convictions occur for every 100 rapes?

    U.S.A

    Maybe it's time we start addressing rape across cultures instead of just calling one out

    Depends on the government. Kerala is quite safe for women. It's funny how the communist tendencies of the government in Kerala has helped when it comes to things like education and equality.

    I'm not sure you understand how they treat women in India. Also how they report and investigate rape in India...... and also women's rights in general in India... uh I know it's awesome to hate the USA but goodness you do realize we have one of the most modern, equal rights bearing societies for women in the history of human civilization correct?

    Have you even ever been to India?

    And no one is hating on the USA. There's a point here. That rape happens everywhere. Women aren't safe anywhere. And it gets swept up under the rug in the US. It's not the world that's outraged by what's happening in India, it's Indians who are fed up - both men and women.

    Maybe the US should clean up it's own backyard first. Just saying.

    Media is making up the gang rape issue? What's ignorant is to play dumb that this isn't becoming a pattern and to become a victim as a result. People need to be aware when they're not in Kansas anymore. I've traveled to some messed up countries, I always make sure to follow state dept warnings, which is basically what I gave.

    So one is disputing this is a serious issue and India needs to address it as well as many other things. But it's important to remember that it's one segment of the population - the abject poor and uneducated and many of these things happen in the slums or are spill over from the slums.

    The British woman may have been acting on fear for a large part due to media reports. But western women have been visiting India for decades so to all of a sudden based on a few cases say that all of a sudden women aren't safe is a bit ridiculous. Certainly there are bad areas. You wouldn't send your girlfriend into certain parts of this country either would you?

    It's a serious problem no doubt. But I think it's annoying how the entire nation is being labeled a **** hole by people who have never even explored the country, or if they have they have been in the crappiest areas and judged the entire land based on the one stop they made.

    The point is that gang rape is a universal problem and needs to be addressed everywhere. India, Brasil, and the U.S. The media doesn't cover here very much because it is no longer news. It's only covered in extreme cases. And that's part of the problem. And it is a big problem in the U.S. So I guss that means women aren't safe in the U.S. either???

    It seems his future self built a time machine with his parents loot and traveled back to warn himself of what awaits. Except future self got caught beforehand.

    Can you back those numbers up with an unbiased study? Also, our judicial system (just like a factory) pushes plea bargains, so that should also be factored in.
