    A gang of robbers struck a Christian school in eastern India on Saturday, and one of them raped a 70-year-old nun, a senior official said.The man apparently did so, because she resisted the robbers, said P.B. Salim, chief administrator of the West Bengal state's Nadia district.
    Previously, a church official had told CNN sister broadcaster CNN-IBN that three or four of the men had raped the woman.

    Sick cnuts.

    When India is in the title the word rape is not far after.

    Truly abhorrent,and in an area where statistically its safest for women in India according to the activist.The irony is the nun probably spent many years trying to civilise them.

    Horsesh!t. Crap like this happens all over the world. That's just a lazy explanation at best and racism at worst.

    We sat again for an hour and a half discussing maps and figures and always getting back to that most damnable creation of the perverted ingenuity of man - the County of Tyrone.

    Didn't the guy in the thread last week say similar. It goes worse for you if you resist

    India has a population greater than Europe and North America combined; is there any evidence that crimes of this nature are actually more prevalent there?

    Rape is endemic everywhere including here. Speak to Womens Aid Ireland or the rape crises center and they will inform you just how bad the situation is here. A lot happens behind closed doors here and with such a mindless alcohol culture and "post" catholic patriarchal mindset.. well?

    I have three female friends that have backpacked India with out any problems and indeed they all loved the continent! The media are on this now so these incidents are making the headlines. Yes rape and the subjection of women in parts of India is a problem. Many places it is not though. But let's not keep the "us and them" situation in flow? People are the same everywhere.. the good, the bad, the ugly and the beautiful.

    There you are. 3 lines to read this time, so much harder to miss....

    Is someone a little hungover this morning?

    You no that feeling.

    You wake up after a heavy night on the sauce, your mouth is as dry as ghandi's flip flop.

    You log onto after hours for a bit of light reading, but youre presented with a serious topic, which is getting a few replies.

    You start to read the short paragraph, but your brain is being hammered by all the tequila last night that its having a hard time functioning.

    That's pretty much it :D but the article still states (twice!) It was one bloke and previously reported, which I read as superceded that it 3 or 4.

    To take a country of equivalent scale, China has a greater population than India. I would not be worried about my girlfriend walking around a Chinese city on her own and risking getting raped. India ... I am not sure :-/

    You could argue that information is more controlled in China when it comes to domestic news, but I think if a Western woman is to get raped in either country it would equally be reported be European newspapers. I have read about this happening in India regularly, and not in China - which is why it seems to me that Indian society seems to either be producing an abnormally high number of potential sexual predators or to be less able to keep them under control.

    I think the only way for a western woman to be safe in India is not to be in India.
