This is a well established problem. Why any woman would travel to India is beyond me. Though Europeans do have a habit of going to places dangerous to them and then acting all apprised when the predictable outcome occurs.
Instead of focusing on the occurrence involving westerners, how about they focus on the women who live in India, who don’t have a choice to be there, and for who this is a daily reality. The fact that in many places in India, they will punish the victim is atrocious. Indian society really needs to address this.

Exactly so. Who gives a fuck about a dumb tourist? Sucks for her, but gang rape has been ever present there. Why not protect indian women too?
