That '1 of the few uncivilised place in India' has a population greater than Brazil.So it's a bit foolish not to use them as a benchmark for most Indians.This incident happened in UP; one of the few uncivilized places in India along with bihar...plz don't judge India by what is happening there.
Add to that India truly is like this all over,a bit milder here a bit more extremist there but the general attitude is the same.The whole of North India is like this,ditto East India,western coast,west India and nowadays even South India is inching to it.Only kerala and the colonies are relatively free
Frankly speaking,reality is completely opposite to what you try to convey.
