The issue remains the same - literally no statistics coming from a nation which is always in a habit to indulge in all sorts of criticism it can despite the fact it itself does not know where it really stands. The need for me to quote from a social worker's blog is that we don't have any other source or information or reference to quote from which can reflect the very same condition of women in that country which leaves no stone unturned to start the blame game. Let me tell you a fact - India is a democracy where every citizen is granted the right of speech and expression to put up his views and protest against the injustices done in the society.
#The media report everything: According to Dave Prager, the American author of Delirious Delhi, crimes that
“wouldn’t garner even a sentence in an American paper because so many bigger crimes would elbow it out of the way” are obsessively reported in Indian news publications. Post the Delhi gang rape, Indian media have faithfully recorded each and every rape case, highlighted them for the world and continue to do so.
#More rapes are being reported now: Along with the modernization of society, more Indian women are being educated and are going out to work. They are breaking out of the subservient mold that society had given to them and are more independent. While this means they are more likely to be sexually abused, it also means they are more likely — compared with women of a previous generation — to report rapes and confront sexual predators. In the three months after the Delhi gang rape, the number of rapes reported in the city more than doubled to 359, from the 143 reported in January-March of 2012. This doesn’t necessarily mean more rapes are happening now, just that more women are emboldened to come out and report.
Its a fact that there is total censorship in China concerning the very same media coverage on such critical matter is still a taboo and will continue to be the same. We all know about the The Tiananmen Square protests of 1989 - the number of protesters participating in the same are in comparison to those who pretested during the Nirbhaya Incident. There is literally no comparison possible until and unless there are some credible sources produced in the same concern.
#India actually has a high conviction rate for rape than many other nations and we are in the process to improve the same: According to the Guardian, just
7% of reported rapes in the U.K. resulted in convictions during 2011-12. In Sweden, the conviction rate is as low as 10%.
France had a conviction rate of 25% in 2006. India, a developing nation with countless challenges, managed an impressive
24.2% conviction rate in 2012. That’s thanks to the efforts of a lot of good people — police, lawyers, victims and their families — working heroically with limited resources.
#Most Indians, men and women, hate the reputation that rapists have given their country: No country in the world can claim to have witnessed protests against rape on the scale of India’s, where people turned out in the tens of thousands to voice their shock and sadness. It was people power that forced the government to change existing rape laws and drew the world’s attention to the problem.
What happens in other countries? This may not be a typical example, but the rape of a teen girl by high school football players in the Steubenville, Ohio had many in the town sympathizing with the rapists and not the victim.

The bottomline is if you guys don't produce some credible facts and figures before the world neither will you allow the Independent organizations or your media to do the same -no matter what so called standard definition you set up for such crimes- they will have no relevance to the context....Damn it even I can chant all around that the data-the media reports or documentaries doesn't reflect the ground reality in India once we have a state controlled media with the government not really interested to release the records through which the ground situation can be assessed in the same concern - If you are able to quote the reports and documentaries in the same concern then its a testimony of our transparency in the same concern. Just a stroke of Dr. Singh's pen and guess what - you wont find anything - same as the case with China - sounds really easy isn't it???
