I agree with Greg, I think their society is a bit askew when it comes to the rights of certain people, there is an caste without a name, or something like that, and they are considered lower than every other type of person in india. And that whole nonsense about arranged marriages and risking death if you refuse to marry some man you never met, that is messed up.

Also I don't believe india is a developing nation, don't they have a space program, and they send up rockets and satellites. The place must be one of the wealthier countries of the world.

Here is historical analysis setting out what India has done to advance as a developing nation from the Delhi school of economics. The 11th 5yr plan sets out specific areas relating to women and their role in society and how it intends to address abuses suffered by women.
