    It’s getting really sad that I see articles like this and immediately think “India”, and that’s usually right. I’m not even particularly acquainted with the culture of the country, but I’m exposed to cases like this all the time through the news. Really creates a fucked up perception. I wonder if it’s actually that bad over there, or if it’s just overrepresented in the news.

      It’s probably a combination of things, but it also doesn’t help that India has the largest population in the world with 1.43 billion people.

        It was also in Uttar Pradesh, which is the most populous state in India with over 241M people. It’s actually the most populous country subdivision in the world and has a higher population than any other countries except China, the US, Indonesia, and Pakistan (and India obviously).

          They’re saying the user’s correction to hating only people and not the world excludes the natural world that sees these horrors just the same.

            Well I’m glad you understood their meaning as it wasn’t clear to me from the context.

            I received your reply, but for some reason I can’t see it in the thread. Any chance you have the “bot account” checked in your settings or is it just weird federation issues?

              Yeah I’ve ran into that a bunch myself. I’ve never heard of the bot account setting but I just looked and it’s disabled.

    Its wild when you can tell what country a news article is from just from the headline. Most likely happened in Uttar Pradesh too, I’d bet. Super fucked. Yupp just looked up the Agra District. Surprise surprise, its in Uttar Pradesh. Shit like this happens there constantly give it a google.

    Sigh… fucking goddamn it. At least they got him to confess and the parents can get some form of justice and closure. POS.
