    Does India have a higher rate of violent sex crimes compared with other countries, or have I been propagandized? I don’t want to be the guy who says, “WTF is happening over there?” so I’m curious if something is, indeed, “happening over there.”

      The “sexual violence” tab on this page from worldpopulationreview.com makes it seem like India is very average.
      However for sexual assault in general, it is so underreported in every country that I think it would be hard to tell if such data were more influenced by actual prevalence or just how often it is reported.
