That is out of the G-20. That is a big difference than 194 countries in the world.

Though I agree with what you are saying :) , the problem is real and needs to be addressed. It is like every other day I am hearing about stories of rape, dowry deaths and molestation. There needs to be a concerted effort to tackle this issue. I do not see this and it is very concerning.

US is hardly a place where women are respected they are seen as nothing but sex objects by the mass media and society.

Saudi Arabia i would guess is far behind even Pakistan in terms of Women's rights I should think. Heck, they only recently received the right to vote and still can't drive. Pakistan is well ahead of the Saudis in that respect. So if India is only slightly better then Saudi according to Forbes, how does it stack up against Pakistan?

What woman driving have to do with this news?

Re: India is the worst place to be a woman. (Forbes)

We are talking about women's rights? Women not being allowed to drive is an example of women being deprived of that particular right, self mobility.

Re: India is the worst place to be a woman. (Forbes)

But woman driving is allowed in India na, thats oky. :)

Re: India is the worst place to be a woman. (Forbes)

Im comparing Pak to Saudi. The women not being allowed to drive demonstrates the extremes of SA.

Re: India is the worst place to be a woman. (Forbes)

Why not compare Pak with Westerns. I think that'll be fair.

Re: India is the worst place to be a woman. (Forbes)

Yes that would be a great comparison I'm sure.
