I have some friends who are international traders. Met them when I was in college (Business Admin) They said some things about India a lot of people do not know.
Most people in India are illiterate and starving to death. I know that is strange because the Indian nationals who emigrate to the United States are usually doctors, engineers, etc. India is a very competitive country. What we see are the individuals who have clawed and scratched their way to the surface, and I'm glad to have them in America.
China is the same way. It has a HUGE population, and most of the people live in desolate areas. Most of the people are illiterate and starving to death. The most competitive ones make it to the cities, and the most competitive of those make it to America. Explains why Asians emigrating here are so sharp and intelligent.
I welcome immigrants from both those countries. They can only enhance the tapestry that is the United States Of America.
As far as bad things happening to women, I'm not familiar with any civil rights issues from India (other than the caste system, which has dumped the shit on the group known as the untouchables.) Women are probably better off in India than they are in any Muslim country.
