Do you think they are completely destined to fail or that the methods employed have not been favourable so far? I think blaming either side does not help but a collective approach needs to be taken.There are some things that work in West and can work in East. There are other things that need to be adapted for the country and region.
Feminism is more individualistic in the West and should probably have a more collectivist approach focusing on communities in the East due to society being more collectivist.

While it’s not good to generalise a whole community it’s also not good to ignore as you mention. If someone does mention aspects of society which need to be improved that individual should not be ignored or said they do not understand because they live overseas. They may do it out of a place of love. I say this regardless of location in the subcontinent.

I’d love to provide you with general cross cultural critique of Feminism, and whiz through historical overview. It’s subject very close to my heart, but I’m afraid the issue might become too deep for this thread, and people who won’t get it, will get super confused, defensive and accuse me of all sorts of things. We will talk the particular need and the current state of Feminism in subcontinent some other day. For now, lets just condemn the injustice, and commend those who represents the positive.
