That kind of story is common the world over unfortunately.

And the police protect their own.

That is not at all common in Western countries.

If you don't look you wont see.

I think you'll find a higher percentage of women have been raped in the USA than India.

They don't record or report a lot of rape crimes in India, some families even stone the girl to death for getting raped.

A mass group of men stormed a women's college campus to engage in mass sexual assault. Ever see this happen in any other country?

A lot of men there think there's no such thing as rape or that if women show their knees, it means they want to get raped. Just listen to it from their own mouths

You can't have a higher percentage of women being raped if you don't define rape properly. The rapists there probably think the percentage is 0:

Everyone knows about India's rape culture and rape problem. It's even worse than Japan and India even admits it's terrible, but do nothing about it:
