I agree, its not possible to get a 100% problem free country these days due to several factors. One of the reasons that you don't get to read the news about dowry, sati (and other old-fashion-customs) could be that they are going down in urban areas but in rural areas I am pretty sure such things still happen frequently and the only reason they don't become "news" is that these things are "custom" which don't need to get reported.

For all you wrote, I only know that if 10-20 years ago if you were reading 10 such news articles per week in the news papers and now you are getting to read only 2 (with the addition of online news sites and 2 is just an example) that does mean something.
Well if you agree that such occurrences are becoming rarer in the urban areas, wont common sense say that the frequency is going down in the rural areas as well.
