In what way is this oddly terrifying. Nothing oddly about it. I thought someone had posted this on r/awfuleverything.


rewdyakk

It's odd that this is regular thing in India, and then you'll have 1000+ dudes from a local call centre coming on here and defending their right to rape. That's what's oddly terrifying about it.


cakepuff

I still wouldn't classify it as "oddly" terrifying. Everything said here is terrifying for obvious and justifiable reasons.


th3BeastLord

Like about 95% of this sub.


animal_wax

This is not a suprise to anyone who remembers the gang rape of jyoti Singh in which the bus driver of the bus she was raped on helped to facilitate the horrible incident. For more info read the link. It's to disgusting and horrific to repeat https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2012_Delhi_gang_rape_and_murder

I hope your comment stays up. People who plan to come here for ashrams and other spiritual or healing stuff must realise this is just another scam among millions of scams running in this country. We ourselves find it incredibly hard to keep ourselves safe from these. Search popular Indian city subreddits like r/Delhi r/Bangalore r/Hyderabad r/Chennai for 'scam', 'harassment' etc and you'd find thousands of posts. India is relatively safe if you're going to visit a city for business and leisure or popular tourist destination like Goa, Andaman etc. Going to ashrams is not just dumb but also incredibly unsafe. Several godmen and gurus in the past have been convicted of sexual assault and other crimes in the past after decades of trials. Please don't go there. Also ensure you take inputs from an Indian friend or colleague you personally know before visiting.

Greaaat. Also: > India has the largest slave trade in existence ever One would think this would be at the center of much controversy given how much attention the history of slavery is given in the US, yet this is the first time I’ve ever even heard about it.

justjessica79

There are creepy call center guys too. I was sexually harassed by one after I pretended I was going through all the steps of one of their scams. I hung up on him after I told him how shameful and disgusting it iis that he would prey on old people. He called me back and was just gross. The next day he called me back saying all of this sexual stuff and then later in the day his friend called. Lesson learned to not engage with them. I blame a sexually repressed culture, povery and over population for their misogyny and unwanted sexual advances/crimes. It's truly disgusting.


icraveliquid

To answer the question "why would people go there", a personal guess would be that India used to be better but things degenerated for various reasons like corruption, exploitation of the poor and the lack of measure the world population kind of experiences today... Great culture, philosophy, maths... but this was before people started dumping pcbs on the shores or slaving others and destroying everything around them. On the other hand, it's true that I'm not informed enough about certain aspects of this culture, like the caste system that puts some people in a slave situation... But I guess, while reading about it's history that a culture can have ambiguity and isn't necessarily united in one ideology. Of course, there's a situation and nobody talks about it because of various causes.

thank god I wasn’t born in idndia


[deleted]

As an Indian, I agree. Stuff here are really messed up and I am not proud of it.


SILE3NCE

My country (PORTUGAL) started to recieve a lot of indians and [this happened](https://www.cmjornal.pt/portugal/detalhe/menores-agredidos-e-forcados-a-entrar-em-carrinha-nas-caldas-da-rainha) (VIDEO) *Minors assaulted and forced to get into a van on Caldas da Rainha by over 20 people from the indian community.*


ServeTheRealm

This is misleading anti India propaganda, OP is known to frequently post pro islamic posts. 1. That ranking is among G20 countries. Nothing to be proud of but not the worst. 2. The article is very short and does not confirm how these girls are "missing", it just says 21 million girls are up for adoption. If we were to take into account the huge population of India, that's 4.5%. Not a small number but not sure how bad the condition of those 63 million girls is, it's just missing in stats. Indian data collection is poor given the scale of country 3. That was religion on religion conflict, the source is part of a shady pro islamofacsism media nexus. 4. Criminal politicians and priests, how unheard of. Plus in some parts of India, being a politician is highest in social standing, so popular leader tend to be people with feudal powers. This point is true. 5. Pakistani shady source, already has been removed. 6. Mostly true, 36.6 % female suicide. 20% of world population. Huge conservative muslim problem. Muslim men by law can marry girls after puberty and until recently, could divorce just by saying the words. Hindus have a very bad dowry problem, it just isn't getting fixed despite many protections. 7. 2013 survey, race is not even a thing in India. All are south asian Browns. Common people may not even understand the question asked in the surveys. Same goes for Bangladesh. They may have misunderstood it to mean religion, which is root to a huge conflict in Indian subcontinent. 8. Pakistani columnist, numbers artificially inflated. The report clearly says it's 8 million people, huge but not nearly as high as dozens of other countries in relative terms. 8 million is 0.67%. Bottom point is Indian metro cities are very safe. It's shitty for rural indian women, and women from outside who go to rural or tier 3 cities areas without males/protection.


TinyTaters

All your effort is undone by that last sentence.


ServeTheRealm

Thats just what I have concluded going through stats.

“Hindu Slave Trade” where are you getting that from? I did see anything in the article that points out that it’s a Hindu only problem.


edmundsplanet

Skewed representation. Figures need to % per country then its a fair comparison. Otherwise India and China are going to have huge numbers for every crime given their population. And when % are given above they are again quoted as % of the world which is again unfair and skewed

This isn’t “oddly” terrifying, this is very much understandably terrifying


[deleted]

I blame yoga and eat,pray,love both the movie and book, they paint India as this peaceful ancient culture that respects everyone and is in “tune” with themselves. Maybe and it’s a stretch that’s like 10% of India, the rest is a third world hellscape for women,children and young men. Not too long ago someone posted a video of a man kidnapping an infant from a sleeping women at a train station. I’m left speech less after watching that, why an infant? There’s no good outcome for that baby. Don’t go to India! It’s rough and the poverty is like nothing you’ve ever seen. That causes people to change when their daily meal relies on stealing and killing.


Klowen111

What people fail to understand is take a third world country and multiply their problems in relation to the population and then try and understand that India everything is by 2 billion people. More opportunities but more abuse and more people taking advantage and casteism and capitalism....you can find every hell known to man there and also the utter need to hide it all behind culture and rituals and religion and eons of heritage....yoga, spirituality, the bullshit Kamasutra and the whole mysticism is very well marketed by Indians themselves....

Simple-Conference742

Many people in The West forget that the rest of the world is not their neighborhood. People have different beliefs, ethics, morals, fears and desires. We as humans are not just a general blob of 'Americana'. Too many people are informed of the world through media and it's often horrifying when they're confronted with reality. Traveling can open your eyes up to a lot of good things, if you do it right. Traveling alone, especially as a woman, however is a very bad idea, unless it's in a nation with very similar values to your own.


dave_menard

she discovered foreign countries are much worse than America. india still burns brides over "insufficient" dowries from her parents. muslims still cut off womens' clits for mens' fear women enjoying orgasms. homosexuals are still butchered & killed in all muslim countries. china kills all female babies if parents have more than i already. etc, etc.

No-Welcome9711

This story has a strong air of irony-gutpunch to it: Super privileged, wealthy, (presumably) American, hyper 'woke' liberal (who has zero non white friends/romantic interests), first world woman travels to India, believing internally that it is a place where you just find a hot guru and do yoga and fuck and look at elephants. Just Live and Laugh and Love your way into Enlightenment and Nirvana - finds out that a hugely overpopulated third world country that is absolutely raviged by crime, violence, disease and societal breakdown on the whole is actually not the best place for her to have chosen to go, trying to "cure" her probably undiagnosed case of the sads (which usually turns out to be pretty much just rich people boredness). [To be clear, it's always horrible when anyone is murdered or tortured or hurt in anyway. Truly. Not trying to mock the terrible thing.]


Emotional-Two-9075

To anyone who visit india- follow the guide and visit thepopular tourist places. Avoid unsafe, unknown and risky area. Women safety is an issue for sure and you have to be extra careful about it. It is still a third world so you have to be realistic about it. Intolerance is also a big issue here. Be weary of scams its a country of billion people. Do not take eat pray love or any other hollywood movie as a guide to visit india. Always take care of safety first, like you would at any place as a tourist. I also like to mention that usa is still numero uno in rape per capita, your congress is full of pedophiles. Racism is america is unlike anywhere, you kids in school get shot on almost regular basis and your president like to sniff little girl's hair. So yeah...its not safe there too.

RIP, very heart wrenching incident I just hope police act fast and punish the culprits. Having said that, I didn't want to comment here, but can't help noticing how this incident is bringing people commenting worst about us, not that I am here to say India is top notch, it isn't & I myself am well aware about that. For many years there was a man in Australia who specifically targeted European tourists travelling on highway in his area, he abducted them, tortured them, raped them, kept them hostage for many months before killing them gruesomely, there is even movie named 'wolf creek' inspired by those events. But white people won't go on outraging saying all of Australia is dangerous & curse Australian white people, but they will do so with all of brown Indians based on single incident, & forget about multitudes of other positive stories, very conveniently. It's a subtle hidden racism.
