Indian woman jumps off moving train to flee rape

44. You are right about inappropriate touching, not necessarily about rape

Indians react differently to crime than Americans. I have spent 2 decades actually
living in India whereas most posters here have never lived there.

People in US would rarely start a riot when a rape becomes known. That is different in India. In my own neighborhood, when a crime occurred and the offender was caught, he was beaten with sticks before the police arrived which was usually hours later. I witnessed burglars, pick pockets, shop lifters treated that way first hand. I never witnessed a violent rape with a screaming victim in over-crowded Indian cities. There is no such thing as a deserted street in large cities. I can barely walk in downtown Mumbai because of wall to wall people.

India is 1/3 size of US and has 4 times population. IOW it's population density is 12 times US. It is not easy to commit violent rape in cities without people around the victim hearing screams. Most rapes in India do not happen in villages or rural areas. A rapist caught there is likely to be beaten mercilessly by fellow villagers.

That does not mean violent rapes do not ever take place, but based on my first hand observation
the Wiki stats are not far off.
