I come from a city in Britain Britain has a higher rate than the US. My argument still holds. Actually, my experience with crime rates is that where crime is common it goes unreported. Given nominal reporting rates of 50% for D.C (which is being far too kind), and 10% (which is far too harsh) for Delhi, still leaves it twice as safe (and thrice as safe as London). It takes an hour to dig up the data online. > I can only talk about the US, I'm not qualified to understand everything about India unfortunately. Please take everything I said on the last line with a pinch of salt. ... precisely my point. The propaganda has worked very well I can see. Again, don't trust the self-hating hindu unless they give you numbers.

What are the sources for your numbers ? You seem to think that 10% is harsh, whereas you couldn't be more wrong.

  The parent post is only about "Crimes against women". Your link is about general crimes, oh great skeptic. I have to merge all my answers here because HN (suprise ! suprise!) prevent answering questions, because apparently reality is does not fit the propaganda you've all been fed. Have happy life in your ignorance. @DanBC: I don't give a shit. HN like is filled with bigots (if comments here are any proof). India does have crime statistics online: http://ncrb.gov.in/ http://ncrb.gov.in/ . Now who's the one making up things ? @rimantas: More atrocity literature! To answer your question. Yes (well atleast nearly). It remains better than Sweden at any rate. There really hasn't been much by way of statistics for the former, only conjecture by media outlets which are inherently biased. Assuming less adversarial reporting rates (and not adding the abortion counts in the US) still makes it comparable to that in the US. If you do add the abortion counts (for I'm sure you're as much pro-life as you are anti-India) the comparison will tilt more towards India again. Happy dear (and a clever one too!) Hinduphobe ? Do you want to send them to the gas chamber and get this farce over with ?

    > oh great skeptic Please would you consider stopping that? You might want to re-read the guidelines. Parent post has at least posted a link to support their argument; where's yours? I know that you're wrong, and when you tell me what data you're using I'll be able to tell you why you're wrong. (The UK has extensive and robust crime statistics from police reports but also a crime survey. India doesn't.)
