      India has a large popultion and Uttar Pradesh is an ultra right wing racist state that simps for Modi and the BJP. This has been going on there for quite a while. It’s not a new thing.

      Similar stories aren’t new in India, at the same time if we were to take a sample of one billion people from richer countries I’m pretty sure we would be able to find just as many similar stories, they would just come from different countries.

          600 000 child are abused each year just in the USA.

          Gun violence is the leading cause of children death in the USA with more than six a day being homicides.

          So with just over a third of a billion we already have enough headlines to make India look no worse than richer countries…

              I’m not from the USA, but ok…

              The education level of the USA is still much higher than in India and there’s less inequality…

                  I’ve been talking using we from the beginning as I’m talking about if we collectively took the time to compare to other richer countries amounting to as much population, I’m pretty sure India wouldn’t look as bad as it does now…

              Are you in the habit of seeking out and sharing nothing but news stories about the rapists and criminals in your community? Yes, that behavior is a little pathological.

                If my state had crimes like these and nobody was doing shit I’d want to raise it every time I could

                  This is literally an article about police arresting the person who committed this crime. Who’s not doing shit and what advocacy is OP providing beyond self-flagellation because terrible criminals exist?

                  The state of Uttar Pradesh has 240 MILLION people. That’s one state that’s 2/3 the size of the entire United States.

                  Posting articles like this and proclaiming conclusions about it is like posting that someone somewhere in the US did this and therefore the entire United States is complicit.

              They seem to be advocating against their state rather than against rapists.
