if more tend to come from these backward type places.

this is not to say the "better off" don't rape .

but maybe there is an increase in recent years from certain backward areas or people who come from these areas and go into other places. some of the recent reports of the gang rapes described the rapist as "vagrants" which in india seems to be used for guys who are just hanging around and moving through the area without a "purpose" .

anyways, india should be doing something to make sure these areas aren't left and allowed to do as they wish . it will always be the women who get it the worst.

there shouldn't be a fucking "village chief" anywhere or a "village council" .
