She was her parents only child. A extremely bright woman. An asset to the nation.

[arnoygayen]

Not only doctors, but common people of Kolkata are in the streets protesting.
And it became a huge thing.
Now everybody is demanding the resignation of the CM, who is a woman.

[ornachia]

It keep happening like this, but their politician, media will keep talking about Pakistan, China or Moslem.

[reimannx]

This happens in india regularly.
Nothing new.

If one goes on Twitter and read comments by Indians one will quickly realize it's part of the culture and extremely difficult to change that.

Why is India known as the R capital of the world

[grippyman]

Indians are so proud of Prime Minister Modi, but justice won't be served under his reign!!!!

[weihaohuang]

India is a super developed, safe and clean country!😂😂😂

I believe this is part of a much greater problem, concerning the Indian culture. Women needs to become overall more independent. I’m especially speaking of fair wage and a more equal vision of gender. Perhaps this needs to be a more highly regarded subject in Indian schools.

[RGNSS-hnew]

India will be needing a lot more of these sorts of protests if it ever wants to truly escape its caste system past and become a civilized democracy.

[antonio]

At least 30 people were involved in the rape, it's horrible.

[dac-locnguyen]

Why rape crime keeps happening in India ?

[aliashfaque]

Even now the kolkata media is obsessed with Bangladesh

[LandGrabbingIndia]

Take a look at the comments section? Unrepentant, unremorseful, extremely resistant and intolerable to factual criticisms and always finding excuses/whataboutism. This is the people of India, the "R" capital of the world.😏

[Foxie]

Not long ago an 8 year old was gang raked and killed. Where was the outrage?

[tsas]

Did I hear correctly? The Hospital and student housing were attacked? Why?

[stalkingtiger]

It's sad that there are people who would do this to someone trying to help them. I hope they get their demands met.

[Abhishek.]

🇮🇳 It is unacceptable and barbaric to act against healthcare professionals. The Indian government must ensure strict laws are enforced to maintain a healthy environment for our sisters. We want justice.

[LandGrabbingIndia]

Over the last four years, Indian news outlets have repeatedly stated that India is significantly ahead of China, always pushing the narrative 'India wins, China loses.' So what better way to prove this narrative than at the world's largest sporting event (2024 Paris Olympics). It’s the perfect opportunity for India to showcase their country's progress and human development. All of China’s finest athletes will be there, as well as India’s best, competing alongside the world’s greatest at the highest level. The event will be broadcast globally, with eyes focus on India and China as they compete. So, did India easily win as they claimed they would? Of course not—India lost to China, 0-40. 😁
