Ditto Shari'a atrocities like stoning to death for adultery, indicting a rape VICTIM for unlawful fornication, and letting male malefactors off with a slap on the wrist.
But another strand of Pakistani opinion refused to credit India with its development, focusing instead on the risqué nature of Bollywood films and urban Indians' conspicuous Westernization. In an article for the Frontier Post, an English-language newspaper in northwest Pakistan, headlined "No Justice For a Woman in India," columnist Afshain Afzal described the Delhi gang rape as "a routine affair" for India, where working women "especially the internees at the Indian hospitals are quite frequent (sic) that they are sexually abused and those who refuse to cooperate are tortured or their lives made miserable. This is, but, the true face of India..." He suggested "there is a need for Indian young girls and women to observe dress code according to their eastern tradition and culture."I've been to both India and Pakistan & can attest that India comes off better in ANY comparison.
Meanwhile, sections of the Pakistani web community derided India's "pretensions" to laws, rights, and equality. In response to an op-ed in a Pakistani paper by an Indian writer arguing for a change of mindset rather than castration for rapists, a reader raged: "Indians pretend to have laws, rights and equality ... They are high on philosophy and morality. But in practice they are a klepto society." Meanwhile, sections of the Pakistani web community derided India's "pretensions" to laws, rights, and equality.
