  6. Few days ago an Indian student was killed in United States of America, the strongest and best democracy of the world, yet no one bets an eye. Guess what, crimes happens in every country, but India is a easy target for everyone.

  10. Its really sad to see all these comments.. i have been forwarded this link by many of my European colleagues.. i work in IT here in Bangalore..I always say that because of these north Indians we have to carry the shame…We south Indians are more civilized educated then any average Europeans.. look at out foreign minister Jayashankar for example..

  11. It's not the 7 men's fault, it's their religion Hinduism that teach them to respect cows 🐄🐄🐄 more than women.

  23. As political scientist Samuel P. Huntington observed: "The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion (to which few members of other civilizations were converted) but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence.". On top of the English language and so-called democracy, looks like the colonized learned how to heinously harm innocent people from their former colonial masters, that's why Rishi Sunak took over UK and Nikki Haley is emulating him in the US.

  25. i agree what happened with her was really sad and it shouldn't happen to anybody but to those people who are using this to degrade India's image for tourism and saying things like "indians shouldn't be allowed entry in western countries , we'll never visit india is the rape capital of the world" as if every indian here is a rapist, i would like to enlighten them with the information that India isn't even in the top 10 list of most rape count
    USA holds the number one spot with 450000 rapes in 2022, followed by south africa, sweden, uk
    And if you don't believe me then go do your own research
    and yes its really sad and those 7 men will face the consequences for sure.

  26. Face is covered for rapist because they got some money for this photoshoot.. Its pretty common in India police when they are under pressure get some guys on street and fake it to the media 😅

  30. They travelled to muslim majority countries like Pakistan and nothing happened but when they travelled to hindu majority country hindus showed their cultural beauty 😅

  32. state govt must resign… they not managed guidelines where to go where dont….where to stay where dont…this incident teaches us many things..hope we learn somthing

  33. Majority of India is a selfish manipulative society. There is no true equality or dignity of labour in INDIA. Its a place full of people with high Pride, ego which results in Jealousy and malice everywhere. There is a very marginal part of india which is inclusive, accepting and empathetic.

  38. This is what happens when BJP cares more about Hinduism and cows than humans of other culture. And I'm Indian

  42. As an Indian , I am ashamed . Our justice system should take strict action aginst the culprits who have traumatized this innocent soul and given our entire country a bad name.
