There’s more apathy in the US than in India for violent rapes. Several of them matching the barbarity of the Delhi rape incident took place in cities around the US after the incident in India.

Barely any American public reactions to them, hardly any news coverage, any political announcements, concerning it. The reaction in India was phenomenal by comparison - It brought the country to a standstill.

It’s not a far stretch to see that America’s rape problem is far more dire.

It follows that there is a great likelihood of rapes going unreported in the U.S.

Indian culture ascribes shame to rape. Here many glorify it (rap music; celebration of prison rape).
