          Yes.

          I also understand that if you here specific shit always coming from a specific place that it’s a smoke and fire situation.

          Add to that all too many personal experiences where my wife and I had issues with Indians (from India) and yeah, it has led me to believe that something is seriously wrong with their culture. It has nothing to do with race or racism, they have a beautiful culture, but a number of parts of their culture are seriously fucked up and must be changed

        I’m not too familiar with India’s politics, but what does the BJP have to do with this incident? And how will changing parties solve these issues - is there any political party in India that’s actually good and not corrupt? I heard corruption is pretty common across all of the government sector, regardless of the party I power?

          Everything. They incite violence using the fragility of our enviornment. They fund terrorists like RSS and VHP to supress minorities and make the environment more patriarchal according to hindu scriptures. some parties are corrupt but BJP is the most corrupt and it is trying to increase it more because more corruption = more hindu extreamism = more votes.

          Congress is corrupt, but they’re just corrupt, they don’t care about much beyond self-enrichment.

          The BJP is MAGA on crack with 500x as much religious zealotry pitched in.

          Muslim genocide isn’t that outrageous to them, there were several instances where they rallied to butcher Muslims in the past.

            And to make things worse, the religious conflicts are also political conflicts, because of the Muslim-majority parts of India eventually splitting into Pakistan and later Bangladesh. As a result, nationalist Indians want all Muslims to be deported to either of those places, as they consider them fundamentally incompatible with the national faith and culture, which for them are one thing and the same.

              Later it’ll turn back into needing those lands back for “Greater Bharat(India)!!”.

      Whatever country you are from, think about the most backwards/rural/remote location that has people with backwards and regressive views.

      Consider that India likely has 5 to 10x the population of rural folks in small villages that have midevil views compared to your country.

      Add in long standing cultural misogynist views that is so pervasive it fully permeates all aspects of government and life and you quickly get to a point where abuse and domestic violence is tolerated.

      As per usual, it’s not like the entire country shares these views. It’s just the the number of backwards views in India is numerically huge because of its population.

        Why does China not have as many of these events? Is India maybe more rural than China, or is it some kind of law thing like Florida?

        Your explanation is very consise, but i dont undsrstand why people arent as commonly doing attrocities to women in China.

        I guess it is possible that its the legacy of the Cultural Revolution, but the current government of China isnt a fan of that era of Maos policies.

      Honestly, I don’t know. But then again I never felt like I belong here for as long as I can remember.

      Places like Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan are so regressive that other Indians collectively call them BIMARU (sick or unwell).

    From actually reading the piece, this headline is wrong. It should read “Gang-raped 14 year old was burned alive then cut to pieces”

    Which actually makes more sense

    For transparency, it says that she was alive when she was burned, and the body was recovered from more than one location and this made the investigation harder.

    So I have then concluded that she was burned alive and then cut to pieces, rather than cut to pieces alive and then burned.

      These people are monsters indeed.

      However, if you want to be part of civil society, you have to do things right. These asswipes deserve a judge and jury too and will then spend probably the rest of their lives in jail.

          What if you get the wrong person? Yes the perpetrator deserves terrible things, but in order to find and get the right people, we need to go about it in a systematic way. Locking people in jail rather than killing them has the benefit of allowing us to free them should they be exonerated and someone else caught.

          It’s not about what’s deserved, it’s about what will lead to the best outcome. Retribution doesn’t necessarily solve problems.

        Unfortunately a judge and jury leaves wiggle room for bribes to be paid and rich guilty people to be let free.

          So in other words, you don’t want s civil society, you want anarchy with vendettas and vigilantes because there is no way that could go wrong. There is no way that anyone would abuse that, and no way that anyone innocent would become victim of your system, right? RIGHT?

            A civil society doesn’t let women be gang raped, cooked alive then chopped into pieces.

            I’m suggesting that maybe they need gangs of women doling out the same kind of attacks on the men that roam around attacking women. It might make men think twice about attacks.

            This is not a good thing to do but in the face of a society that seems to care very little about justice for women, it doesn’t really seem crazy.

              Well, not entirely. A civil society will try to educate people to not commit criminal acts. It will punish criminal acts. It can’t, however, stop criminal acts with 100% accuracy. No system can. Neither can your “ideas”

              What you propose though is just have groups of women go out and straight up murder random innocent men. That doesn’t sound great, it sounds terrible. It has nothing to do with justice, it’s purely about revenge.

              Now I’ll happily agree that Indian societal culture is fucked up badly. Castes and treatment of women are just two of the issues and anytime gang rapes come up, you know it’s India or Hindus and that really shows it’s a cultural issue. My wife and I also have multiple personal experiences with Indians (Muslims too, btw) where it’s always them causing any issues.

              So having said all that: I think the solution lies in restructuring their cultures. Their boys need to be taught what is right and wrong and right now they’re being taught the wrong thing. I know from personal experience that in a number of countries Muslim boys are taught that western women are whores and that you can do pretty much anything you like to them, as long as you make sure you don’t get caught. I imagine boys in indea having a somewhat similar teaching. THAT is what need to change, but seeing as widespread as it is, good luck with that.

              It reminds me of this travel show video where two blonde girls had to go to some village in India and when they arrived there were hundreds of men waiting for them, pushing them, taking forced selfies with them, until they ran off back in the train and left. It was fucking creepy.

              Change the culture, don’t assault random innocent men.

                I agree with what you are saying but I didn’t ever say to attack random innocent men. I said groups of women should attack the men that attack and rape lone women. It’s not like these type of men only ever attack one woman, they are likely repeat offenders known to the community but possibly protected by money, class or connections and should be dealt with illegally as there is no legal justice that can deal with them.

                  And how do you propose they identify these men?

                  You do understand that we ha r a system set up for this already in every country? It’s called the justice system? They are supposed to have rules for this. If that isn’t working then adjust that system.

                  Having vigilantes roam the street is a recipe for disaster that guaranteed will end with a lot of innocent victims because lynchings always end up with innocent victims
