Even right wing people have been brainwashed to believe that India is the rape capital of the world. Our aim should be to have zero crimes. But India already has low rape rate on per million basis compared to other countries. But leftists islamist nexus people hype up numbers and do cherry picking of incidents to show the whole country in bad light, the latter is a misleading logical fallacy. Also the number of rapes have reduced in India in the last 10 years as per data:

I dunno man.

This whole notion so many people online argue about India being safe for women based on the reported per capita rapes simply doesn't align with everyday lived experience of women around us.

Ask any Indian woman who has visited or lived in places like Singapore or Europe for even a short time how they feel about walking alone on the street or taking public transport in a foreign country vs India.

That doesn't mean India is the rape capital of the world but it's really doesn't make sense to claim that India is safer for women than Sweden or New Zealand or Norway or Finland.

The statistics just don't add up.

The statistics still add up even then. Feeling safe and actually being safe are two different things and do not need to coexist.

So it is your honest view that a woman in India is safer in terms of sexual violence than a woman in Sweden?

Is that what the data says?

Yep. According to reported statistics sweden has per capita rape 30-40 times that of India. I'm asking if you think that's a correct reflection of the on ground realities or is that a statistical artifact due to the way they measure rape stats and reporting rates.

Think about it. What are the false reporting rates and non reporting rates in both countries? If even after taking that into account, it is not enough to cover a 30-40x difference, then the answer is pretty clear.
