Rape in India

You really do seem to want to go to any lengths to deny the fact that India's human rights situation is almost as bad as China's.

Yes, I have to. After all, you are comparing a communist dictatorship with India.

Indian and Chinese culture have many similarities in their view of women and girls. Both countries have suffered from a major problem of sex-selective abortion. Both countries have suffered from a problem of rampant infanticide of baby girls. Both countries have a slavery problem, especially a child slavery problem.

Women considered "widows" in India, especially poor women, endure a lot of social hardship and can die as a result from being tagged as this.

I do think that India's government is better than China's, and its policies are not as directly oppressive, but there are still many human rights issues in India just as there are in China. While India may be one step up, it's not a place that I think is really good for women to live in.

I agree with and appreciate your concerns in general, but you may also agree that the conditions of women and girls were also not so good in the parts of Europe that were under the muslamic domination. HZ has already given a lot of pointed replies on this matter if you remember them. Anyhow just to prove my point I can not say that first go under a muslamic domination, then dare to talk like a human rights activist.
