They also rape their women like crazy....india is an embarrassment for our region
Yes raping of women is bad and it happens quite a lot here. It gets reported and people are punished.
Now two things are involved over here.
a)Prevalence of crime
b)Reporting of crime
Reporting of crime is further divided into:
1. Good policing principles- taking FIRs hassle free. Public confidence in the state police,etc
2. Victims wanting retribution/justice without the fear of backlash by the society/perpatrators of the crime
b) quantifies a). You can not manage what you can not measure.
Now the question is, how confidantly can you say that Pakistan has less of prevalence of rape when the reporting of crime is not being looked into?
And as far as India being an embarassment to the region is concerned:
Strong economic growth
Prosperity
Democracy
Political accountability
R&D investment
Diversity of the population
Number of research papers published
Number of graduates/1000 people
These are some of the metrics that I had at the top of my mind which would give a fair idea of the standing of a country along with the UNHRD indices. You are free to evaluate your country against mine.
Making such unintelligent sweeping statements are unbecoming of a senior member like you, especially if they can be hurtfull to so many.
This research is based on a very ambiguous question:
"Who do you want to be living across the street to?"
Thats to me talks more about our strong social ties than anything else. We are a collectivist society.
This is not hollistic at all.
