INDIA: Handicapped torture and rape victim waits ten years for justice](http://www.ahrchk.net/ua/mainfile.php/2005/917?print=yes)
Re: Women are not safe in India...statistics
Indians knows very well that the justice system in India is bad enough - but maybe (I have no idea on this and I mentioned earlier, am not saying this witha view to score point over Pak), but just maybe itt works only relatively better and thats why those Pak cases got so much publicity.
You can make yourself more happy if thats how it works by giving n more cases of brutalities in india - thats your path to happiness, so be it. Good luck
Re: Women are not safe in India…statistics
Thousand upon thousands of women have been raped by India security forces in Kashmir and Assam. Would you care to tell us how many of them have seen justice? Even the Dalits and Sudra’s are still being raped and killed all over India, and they are supposed to be your fellow Hindu’s - they don’t get much justice in India as well.
Re: Women are not safe in India…statistics
this is real stats on crime
Re: Women are not safe in India…statistics
Thank you rvikz. Your link shows that India is No.5 in the world for rape figures, and those are just 1999 figures. The rape stats have got worse since then.
Re: Women are not safe in India...statistics
Hey Reza - no clear how you are reading the data in that link - India doesnt appear to be fifth on that list.
And BTW, did you read the definition in that link
It says
Definition: Total recorded rapes. Crime statistics are often better indicators of prevalence of law enforcement and willingness to report crime, than actual prevalence. Per capita figures expressed per 1000 population.
Read that again sir
Re: Women are not safe in India...statistics
Oh I get it where you were saying it is rank 5th - On absolute numbers its ridiculous to make comments - it has to be in the context of population where it moves to 50s..
Look at such data per capita sir and not on absolutes.. But read that definition again....
Re: Women are not safe in India…statistics
- United States 89,110 (1999)
- South Africa 53,008 (2000)
- Canada 24,049 (2000)
- Australia 15,630 (2000)
- India 15,468 (1999)
Re: Women are not safe in India…statistics
Still the highest in the region - did you check that.
Re: Women are not safe in India…statistics

economy but per capita income low.
Re: Women are not safe in India…statistics
in pakistan it is not rported because of hudood laws
Re: Women are not safe in India...statistics
Reza - no wonder it wll beb higher buddy.. Population is higher and reporting is probably better ( of course thats something you can say is not true but I leave that to you to decide for yourself)
Re: Women are not safe in India…statistics
Make your mind up. Do you want to talk about higher population or per capita? Either way India’s record is atrocious - do you realise that?
Re: Women are not safe in India...statistics
Sir
Please realise what you are saying.
For comparing across countries, you should refer to per capita figures.
In the last post, I was only making the point that if you were going to look at absolute numbers, it is not fair to compare a more populous country with a less populous one.
If you want to make a good assessment, try this
a) Look at the ranking of the country on overall population
b) Look at the ranking of the country on rapes per capita.
c) If the rank on (a) is higher than on rank (b) ( rank 1 being higher than rank 9 for example), then it means that there are other countries which are doing worse than this country and vice-versa.
I think this may be too difficult for you to understand - will some one else pls try explaining this to our friend here?
And record is not good anyways. No denying that - but read it properly - and go back and read that definition again (to make things clear - again I am being sarcastic and trying to hint that maybe the reporting is probably lower in Pakistan so dont feel very happy my friend)
Re: Women are not safe in India…statistics
As I said India has the worst figures in the region for rape on that basis as well. Your very own stats state that, and it not something you have been able to counter so far.
Re: Women are not safe in India...statistics
72% said they had been sexually harassed
18% said they face harassment nearly every day
16% said that they had been sexually molested
Nearly 70% said not enough was being done by the Delhi police
43% think rapists should be castrated
71% wanted the death penalty for rapists
That is just for Delhi. Can you imagine if 72% of women in Delhi started knocking on the doors of police stations to report being sexually harrassed? Only some brave women do that, while the vast majority are just too scared to even contemplate it, lest they get get bullied or threatened.
Re: Women are not safe in India…statistics
you ask any one about pakistan’s law and order compared to india even crcket teams dont want to visit.
Re: Women are not safe in India…statistics
Let us not forget the lack of justice the Indian state has provided to the hundreds, if not thousands of Muslim women raped by Hindu mobs in Gujrat.

Re: Women are not safe in India...statistics
Ok India is worse than Pakistan. Is that what you want to hear?
Fellow Indians - Pls dont argue on this. We dont know if that is true or false. If its false, does it matter to us. and if its true then so be it. At least let some Pakistanis feel happy.
Yes Reza - India is horrible and definitely Pakistan is better (feels good I hope).
Re: Women are not safe in India…statistics
The Indian state justice, or rather lack of it.
Violence against women
Despite the efforts of women’s rights advocates to address the widespread problem of violence in the home, India still lacked comprehensive legislation addressing domestic violence. The government failed to submit overdue periodic reports to the UN Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women. Impunity continued for most perpetrators of widespread rape and killing in Gujarat in 2002. During the communal violence Muslim women were specifically targeted and several hundred women and girls were threatened, raped and killed; some were burned alive.
Bilqis Yakoob Rasool was five months pregnant when she was gang-raped and saw her three-year-old daughter killed by a mob in March 2002. She reported the rape and the killing of 14 relatives to the police. In January 2003 the police closed the case on the grounds that those responsible could not be found. A subsequent investigation by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) found evidence of a police cover-up. In April, 12 people were arrested for rape and murder. In addition, six police officers were charged with involvement in the cover-up and two doctors were accused of distorting post-mortem investigations. In August the Supreme Court directed that the case be tried outside Gujarat. The trial was ongoing at the end of 2004.
