This is the third Indian rape news article I’ve scrolled across in 5 minutes. First a honours 3 year old, then a murdered 9 year old, and now this… the fuck is going on India, you want the Raj back or something?

It didn’t just popup out of nowhere, it’s been going on for a while now, and it’s always uttar pradesh.

Any specific reason why it’s Uttar Pradesh?

Uttar Pradesh is India’s analogue to the US’ deep south. Take the worst stereotypes you’d associate with that, turn them up 11x, and that about covers what it’s like.

No idea, but from reddit to lemmy, whenever there’s post about horrendous rape case from india it’s always uttar pradesh. Maybe that region is bad?

I’ve noticed the same exact thing. Makes me wonder if there could be some kind of difference in reporting, like how florida’s laws led to the florida man/woman trope.

All posted by the same guy, to be fair.

This is just the norm in a way.
Across South Asia. Terrible terrible places for women.

India has the same population as all of Europe, all of North America and all of Russia combined.
Tally up the rapes of these two continents and that massive country, and you’ll likely get similar numbers of reports.
It’s a classic case of “by country is not by capita”.

No you won’t. It’s significantly higher, and those are the 10% that actually make it to the news.
