This was from January, I just noticed, but was in my Yahoo feed today.

Thought it was worth a look, regardless.

It never ceases to baffle me these stories from India. Though there are other counties with as big as, or even bigger, rape cultures (South Africa being a notable example), the brutality of the cases in India (and the sheer volume of them no less) seems to completely set it apart.

I've actually visited parts of India many years ago, and thought the people there all very kind and gentle, especially in the villages. I'm very curious to understand if this is a recent phenomenon, or if the country has always had a very well-hidden darker side.

You could not pay me to go that hell hole.

India is a very beautiful and interesting country. Very different than everything else, and quite crazy in many aspects, but it's an experience like none other.

Living there as a woman, though...

I think international travel can be dangerous to many countries if you are not in big groups or with a local or just not using common sense.  Look at Natalee Holloway.  If you let yourself get separated from your group you are at high risk and just navigating the police process can be crazy.  

Sex traffic is a high dollar industry.  

Does make for an interresting role play or sex story idea though.

Don't judge a country of over a billion people by a few instances of sexual assault and rape. Most women live a dignified life whether poor or rich

Very true.

I have to admit, the actual victims are unfortunate
But I also have to admit that I went to India alone more than once in my story, especially when I came from China, which they considered an enemy country

Very curious to hear how they treated you there.

We have a number of outsourced contractors in India both men and women and they are all very highly qualified and extremely well mannered.

I think bad people are everywhere but in a country of billion people most of whom are poor or uneducated, violence in all forms is present.

Like mentioned above, I find this topic intriguing for stories or RPs.

To add to this, pretend if someone didn't know anything about the United States and they googled all the news stories about sexual assault found in one day, you'd think there was an epidemic in this country too.

Go to South India. Very few rapes. Substantial difference between South and North in culture, history. Moth South speak English too even in rural areas.
