I am from India born and raised in India.
In another thread I mentioned the social problem India faces and how women are discriminated even before they are born.
But I would disagree with the way the media is projecting that its the worst place to live in the whole world.
There have been many changes in the last 3 decades...in each and every field women are progressing in India..we have had women Prime Minister(head of state),women as president and some of the states are ruled and headed by women... currently 5-6 Indian women in the most powerful women in the world list.
Improvement is definitely needed...but its not as bad as it is made out to be.

The Other Side of the Indian Rape Story
by fulltimestudent ini'm posting this story, not to defend an indefensible act, but to try to provide some balance.
the fact is that so many indians exist in a poverty so deep that it's difficult for westerners to even understand.
the youngest of the rapists in the now world known rape story, according to this uk, independent newspaper story, grew up in that world that seems hopeless.

I am from India...and want to mention here there is no other side to the rape story...its the Indian mentality towards women thats responsible...women are not seen as equals...and a "no" from a women in many parts of India would hurt the ego of men. A few years ago a female model as part of a promotion was bartending at an upsacle New Delhi bar and when she refused a drink to some well connected guy...he removed his gun and shot her dead...it was only after the media went berserk action was taken.
Infact in many parts of India (more the nothern part) people view a girl child as a liability...3 million girl child are killed in the wombs itself. It is so rampant that the male/female ration is skewed to such an extent is some parts that many men are finding it difficult to find someone to marry...its a social problem. And this is not restricted to the poor....its across the well educated,rich and poor. The Dowry system certainly plays a big part in this. And it exists in among the JW's as well(dowry problem)
The other problem in India is the enforcement of law and the judiciary system....its so very slow, inefficient, incompetent and corrupt that many dont fear the law.
