Why the fuck is that word in quotes.
-
Plausible deniability to not get sued by not themselves making the claim but instead quoting the victim. A lack of integrity from the editors.

I say this without a hint of irony or exaggeration, but literally every single news article I've ever read that has mentioned Uttar Pradesh, has been about a rape occurring there, almost always involving children. What the fuck is happening there? Is there seriously such an unchecked rape epidemic going on, or are UP's rape cases somehow being overrepresented in their media?

To give some perspective on how overcrowded it is, ppl talk about how California would have the 5th highest GDP if it was a separate country. Uttar Pradesh would have the 5th highest population if it was a separate country.
Despite it's high population, it has no industry except agriculture and doesn't have a single large city. Its largest city and capital only has 4 million ppl. Bangladesh has 70% the population of Uttar Pradesh but its capital, Dhaka, is over twice as big. And Bangladesh is considered rural and poor.

Check out OP's post history and you'll understand why.

Checked and they were each sold for under $10k. The latter was less than $5k. Fuck me.

Could somebody familiar with Indian currency do an exchange rate? The converter I found said 5lak is only $.06 USD.
-
A lakh is 100,000.
500,000 INR is $5900 USD or 5200 euros.
I tried a purchasing power comparing website since goods and services are cheaper in India and salaries are lower. It says the purchasing power of 500,000 INR in India is equivalent to the purchasing power of $24,700 USD in the US.

Thank you, this makes much more sense!

A lakh is 100k. So 5 lakh is 500k. Converted to USD, that’s around $5900 USD

Teens? The other article I saw claimed it was a 5 year old.
-
The article is about a 13 and 14 year-old girl. I can't even imagine 😨

I guess there are several concurrent rape news.
