Reuters Report about crimes against women showed how anti indian western media is.

  Unless these crimes didn't really happen, Reuters is doing their job.

  When stats provided by government show that India is unsafest for woman I hardly see the "anti India" bias

    Source? 'unsafest' relative to which countries? Edit: btw I am not saying India is safe by any measure. The official statistics released by government doesn't match with what you say, be it propaganda, reality or just lack of significant funding into researching these stuff. Without insightful data, how do you plan to combat anything? 'Growing' rape rates has been used as an excuse to form internet surveillance, censorship (porn ban? adult themed movies?) and other faucet of life. Did that reduce rape rates? Rapes are increasing? Why? What is happening in a developing country that makes it more vulnerable to rape cases if its true?

  This comment is 100% correct. Media selection bias is real, and the international focus drawn upon a couple incidents of rape a few years ago was disproportionate for lone anecdotes, which is what makes the bias against India in western media apparent. Per https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rape_in_India https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rape_in_India > India has been characterised as one of the "countries with the lowest per capita rates of rape".
