PuducherryEdit : After reading the article :
Agra, Uttar Pradesh, India
I clicked the link into this thread and thought, “it’s gotta be India”, then, “that’s not fair, rape happens all over the globe, even to children”. It was India.
I think there are clues in the title … it was nothing like : “A priest culprit of assaulting dozens of children over many decades” …
Yeah, actually, the bash head with rock to hide identity would have given away that it wasn’t likely a western country (where bashed in head guarantees murder investigation and DNA testing is likely). “Private watchman” was another hint. As was “bid”. Written by someone who knows the language well but not natively.
lmao my first reaction was “Weird, the title doesn’t say India in it.”

Pretty awful stories coming out of India lately…
India has a large popultion and Uttar Pradesh is an ultra right wing racist state that simps for Modi and the BJP. This has been going on there for quite a while. It’s not a new thing.
Always have been.
OP spam posts every negative story they find about India. They are not a healthy person.
I think they’re from Uttar Pradesh
yes

Is it self loathing to advocate against rapists?
They seem to be advocating against their state rather than against rapists.
Are you in the habit of seeking out and sharing nothing but news stories about the rapists and criminals in your community? Yes, that behavior is a little pathological.
If my state had crimes like these and nobody was doing shit I’d want to raise it every time I could
This is literally an article about police arresting the person who committed this crime. Who’s not doing shit and what advocacy is OP providing beyond self-flagellation because terrible criminals exist?
The state of Uttar Pradesh has 240 MILLION people. That’s one state that’s 2/3 the size of the entire United States.
Posting articles like this and proclaiming conclusions about it is like posting that someone somewhere in the US did this and therefore the entire United States is complicit.
Fear and Loathing in Uttar Pradesh?
Similar stories aren’t new in India, at the same time if we were to take a sample of one billion people from richer countries I’m pretty sure we would be able to find just as many similar stories, they would just come from different countries.
I highly doubt that. It’s a cultural thing, not a numbers issue.
600 000 child are abused each year just in the USA.
Gun violence is the leading cause of children death in the USA with more than six a day being homicides.
So with just over a third of a billion we already have enough headlines to make India look no worse than richer countries…
Yeah but ye are a joke.
Hardly a developed nation outside of billionaire population and pageantry
I’m not from the USA, but ok…
The education level of the USA is still much higher than in India and there’s less inequality…
So with just over a third of a billion we already have enough headlines to make India look no worse than richer countries…
The we threw me off, I get what you meant now.
I’ve been talking using we from the beginning as I’m talking about if we collectively took the time to compare to other richer countries amounting to as much population, I’m pretty sure India wouldn’t look as bad as it does now…
I don’t see it being similar. If you look at certain religious fanatic
countriesplaces, there would be stories with the offender just walking away and suffering no consequences. And for the more developed ones, this one by A_A gives a good outline
It wasn’t a failed rape bid. It was a failed rape attempt. There wasn’t an auction like I was thinking based on what I read in the title.
Just non native English speaking translation. A bid can meet an attempt, like a bid for re election.
One of the meanings of ‘bid’ is to attempt to achieve something
e.g. “In a bid to escape, he jumped down the waterfall”
Doesn’t mean money is involved. But I agree it’s a poor choice of phrase for this headline.
And either way, very bad news =(
Yeah I’m not sure what “rape bid” is even supposed to mean, in any context. Doesn’t “bid” imply something that can be accepted?
Don’t worry, someone made a whole page about bid. It’s actually kind of crazy how in-depth it goes, so search for [Subject-Verb], I think that’s the relevant bit.
… Also, did you know you can highlight text and paste in a link and it formats everything for you??? Bless.
I think it’s more of a translation issue.
What the hell. People like that belong in an asylum, prison. Whatever it is.
I’m so sorry for the little girl and her family.
They don’t belong on Earth.
A stainless steel rapist masticator?
