The narrative / story that women or Dalit or children or minority are oppressed is, more often than not, at a higher level, a game controlled by missionaries / Church. . This article uses western data sources to puncture the arguement of women oppression in Bhaarat. . /// .....a rape in a Cab in New Delhi made it all the way into the New York Times while an estimated 700 rapes on that day in the US merited no mention. This begs the question—is disproportionate coverage of rape in India justified? Or is it driven by an agenda? . ........If not, we have to accept that the rank in this table, at least to some extent, reflects the actual rape rate. Along with India, Buddhist Japan and Hindu Nepal also find themselves near the bottom of the list. . .........Why then this huge preoccupation with rapes in India in Western media and the Indian media echo box. A clue is found on this website a veiloftearsmovie. This is a Christian evangelical site, releasing a major film on “A Veil of Tears,” the plight of Indian women. The movie starts by dramatic accounts of the Delhi gangrape and starts to list a litany of ills in the “persecution” of Indian women and how it was important to save them. . The agenda? The website is clear. They are explicitly marketing the movie to Church groups to collect funds and their partner is “Gospel for Asia.” /// . niticentral/2014/12/23/rape-india-becomes-worldwide-story-292683.html
