Another deliberate article to target Nationalistic leadership that puts a hurdle against the global hegemons. Although it is fair to say that rape is a big problem in India, why does the article mention Mondi lots of times as if his presidency is the source of all evil. Such propaganda rely on the continious repetition of a contraversial issue that no one can oppose, aims for large scale social unrest and international defamation.

Just looking at rape statistics in India and United States makes this obvious.

Yes, the article citing Modi as a big factor in the problem (or suggesting removing him would help fix it) seems ridiculous on its face as he's only been in office like 2 years and this problem way predates him. I'm not acquainted enough with Indian politics to know what if anything he's doing to address the problem but this article is full of simplistic answers and reasoning.

There are no 'basic human concepts'. Morality is learned, not genetic. If the culture doesn't teach it, then the kids won't have it.

Religion almost by definition is anti-change. And since woman were basically trash during the formulation of most of these religions, major components of the religions still teach that. And people who follow those religions teach it.

Western countries have mainly left that religious bullshit behind. The more it gets marginalized, the better.

Well studies have show some basic morals might be genetic. Just as dogs have been breed to have pleasing attributes. Humans have breed themselves to have inherited morals.

Are we born with a moral core? The Baby Lab says 'yes'

A few questions must be answered though:

What is the male to female ratio?

With their current population, how many males are unable to find a mate?

Aren't they super conservative?
