Indian police said Saturday five people have been arrested for allegedly gang-raping a Japanese researcher near a famed Buddhist pilgrimage center.
The 22-year-old woman was allegedly kept captive for nearly three weeks in a village near the holy town of Bodh Gaya, about 130 km south of Patna, capital of Bihar state, officer Akhilesh Singh said.
What's up with Indian guys and gangbangs? Serious question.
They are obsessed with groups of guys having sex with one girl. Seems like this is the case anywhere you find South Asians anywhere in the world. It's seriously creepy.
I've heard far more cases about cop violence or mass shooting in the US than women raped in India.

India is the largest democracy in the world, just that it has its own issues. Every country does.
The "rapist heaven" aspect of it has been demonized by the media.
yeah "largest democracy in the world", as western media always praise it.
Your statement doesn't make any sense. How exactly does the kidnapping, imprisonment, and gang-rape of a woman invalidate a country's democratic credentials? Perhaps I am misinterpreting your statement.
Cases of rape are aggressively (and often sensationally) reported on in India. If anything, this validates the strength of freedom of the press in India.
There is already a lengthy post in the current events forum, be prepared to read off-the-charts exaggerations and hyperbole from people that can't even pinpoint India on a globe of the world:
Moderator cut: Off topic
The proprietor of an Indian restaurant near my job moved his family over here from India. When I asked him why, he said, "I have three daughters."

Those stats are somewhat of a misnomer. In the US, if a woman accuses a man of rape, it's a pretty serious accusation and the police (the same ones who periodically beat someone to death over an accused crime) are obligated to go investigate it. It can have massive repercussions for the accused's social life, job, etc. The accuser, while still having to deal with the trauma that happened to her, has a massive social support network and society is generally quite sympathetic towards her.
In India, rape is massively under-reported because of the social stigma that comes along with having been raped, and suicide is a common next move for a raped woman because she's shamed by large portions of a largely conservative society. They had to introduce federal laws not long ago requiring police to investigate rape accusations, because it was a widely-known fact among Indians that such accusations were rarely investigated or looked into; they were thought of a social disputes and not worth investigating. So, those numbers are the proverbial "tip of the iceberg."
Part of the reason that you hear more about America's rampaging, meathead, paramilitarized cops is because Americans are talking about it and it's become one of the biggest concerns in the nation. It's the same as the case with rape and India: until a large swath of people started becoming outraged against it and raising their voices, no one was talking about it. Now, they are, and they are pushing it to the forefront of their society, thankfully.
