"While any rape is detestable, even if 70 rape cases a day puts the incidence of rape in India below 2.5 rape cases/100,000 people. This is substantially below that in Botswana (92/100,000), UK (53/100,000) and USA (42/100,000). It is important to understand what cultural issues make the incidence of rape so high in Botswana, UK, or USA. By the same measure, it is also important for public policy to understand what cultural values make Bharat so much safer for women. Finally, as Indians increasingly imitate American values, it is important to keep a close eye on the number to make sure it does not trend up."
