    I’d be surprised if conservative India with its many poor regions didn’t have a bad rate of rape, but why think India is particularly bad, enough to call it a backwater? Need some sources on that.

    And that user using absolute numbers instead of the rate of rape really gives away them being clueless about this.

    • Rate of rape is very hard to accurately measure in countries that have issues with reporting numbers. If your country still has several ‘acid burns for declined marriage’ stories per year, I’m not inclined to believe the numbers you’ve reported.
