Because "Common Sense" and "Indian Law" Goes in Different Direction. Hopefully this will change over time when the next generation takes over, the current generation is quite backward thinkers, the new generation is much smarter, most of them don't blindly follow others but have their own opinion and they are much more open to all stuffs like LGBT, Peace, Eco-friendliness, Gender/Caste Equality etc...

因为“常识”和“印度法律”是背道而驰的。希望随着时间的推移，在新一代的时代到来之际这一情况会有所改变，目前这代人思想相当落后，而新一代则聪明得多,他们中的大部分人有主见而盲目跟随别人，他们对任何事物都更加开放，比如对LSGT、和平、环保、性别/种姓平等等等……

I won’t say that the Indian culture is backward. That would be wrong as would calling rapes a part of our cultural backwardness. Rapes are crimes and the convicts should be castrated period! It was never propagated as a part of any culture and never would be. But yes we are fighting with practices such as dowry, discrimination against women, discrimination on the basis caste, religion and languages and nonacceptance of LGBT. And yes change has been slow in some cases. You can blame our society for the slow pace of adaptation but you can’t call it backward.

我不认为印度文化落后。把强奸称为我们文化落后的一部分，这是错误的。强奸是犯罪，罪犯应该被阉割!但强奸从未标榜为任何文化的一部分，以后也不会。但我们确实正在与嫁妆制度、性别歧视、种姓歧视、宗教和语言歧视以及不接受LSGT等行为作斗争。的确在某些情况下，改变是缓慢的。你可以归咎于社会的适应节奏缓慢，但你不能把它称为落后。

When we look at cultural practices we need to understand that every such practice was at one point of time widely accepted. The reasons for such acceptance could be wide ranging, maybe the practices were able to address certain ills of the then society or maybe were accepted because there was no idea strong enough to challenge it or maybe because some religion was propagating it. Remember there was a time when everyone believed that the sun revolved around the earth and not the other way round until the scientific revolution proved otherwise. The scientific community propagated it and then proved it and then after a long time came the acceptance. Times change and so does the acceptability. Some accept the change & some don’t. And after a certain period the people that don’t accept the change don’t exst.

当我们审视文化习俗时，需要明白每一种习俗都曾被广泛接受。其被接受的原因可能是多方面的，也许这些习俗能够解决当时社会的某些弊病，或者可能是因为没有足够强大的观点去质疑它，或者可能是因为某些宗教在宣扬它。记得曾经有一段时间，人人都相信太阳绕着地球转，而不是地球围着太阳转，直到科学革命证实并非如此。科学界先传播这一观点，然后证明了它，之后过了很长一段时间，人们才接受它。时代变了，社会接受度也变了。有些人能接受改变，有些人不能。一段时期后，不接受改变的人也不存在了。

Bringing in change is never easy and even more difficult in a country like India. India is the most diverse country in the world. It has all the religions in the world and every religion has even more diversity in terms of traditional and cultural practices. But hey isn’t that also the most beautiful thing about India?

Every country has its own set of problems that can earn them the title of being “culturally backward”. But people strive and overcome it.

Change in Indian cultural beliefs will need to be advocated and implemented. Slow it might be. But it would stronger than anywhere else.

在印度这样的国家，实施变革从来都不是一件易事，甚至会遭遇更多困难。印度是世界上最元化的国家。印度拥有世界上所有的宗教类别，并且每种宗教在传统和文化习俗方面都具有多样性。这也不失为印度的美妙之处吧?

每个国家都有自己的问题，因而落得“文化落后”的称号。但是人们应该努力去克服它。

应当提倡改变印度文化信仰，并付诸实践。这可能会是一个缓慢的过程。但它会变得比其他任何地方都强。

印度人口最多的就是印度教徒。在印度教中，就有3.3亿个神和女神。连神都分得这么细的宗教，你指望他们能统一?

In india police works 24*7..but court works very few days with very few day hour time..so u sud expect corruption n injustice..its obvoius..no law enforcement properly so injustice everywhere

在印度，警察是7天24小时工作的。但是法院的上班天数少，办公时间也短，所以腐败和不公正是意料之中的。显然，由于法律执行不妥善，不公平现象随处可见。

Most indians r igonarant abt world..Hindu always attacks muslims for beaf eating..but in southern indian n west bengal cities hindu eat beaf..but tat is nt problem for them..strange

大部分印度人都是愚昧无知的。印度教徒总是攻击msl，因为他们吃牛肉。但是在印度南部和西孟加拉邦的一些城市，印度教徒也吃牛肉，但这对他们来说却不是问题，不可思议吧。

Most indian r die heart selfish..they dont care for country assets..only thing they know is to blame others

大多数印度人都是自私的。他们不关心国家资产，唯一知道的就是责备别人。

Sexullay very very narrow minded..in southern indian states brother marry sister its ok but pre martial sex is wrong..shame on their thoughts

在印度南部各邦，性观念非常狭隘。允许兄弟姐妹结婚，但婚前性行为却决不允许。这种思想太可耻了。

Another ignorant level..u can eat unhealthy fast food in public but u cant drink healthy beer publicly which is made from barley..shame on their thoughts

更无语的是. .你可以在公共场合吃不健康的快餐，但是你不能在公共场合喝由大麦制成的保健啤酒。这种思想太可耻了。

警察自己都去向索纳加奇这样的卖淫场所，却会因为非法卖淫而突袭某个旅馆。去你的伪善思想。只有东北邦和北孟加拉才是是印度最好的地方，在那可以做你想做的

Basically most indian assume themselve peace lover..but in real they r bull shit cowards..well frog in nature

基本上大多数印度人都认为自己热爱和平。但在现实中，他们却是爱胡说八道的懦夫，坐井观天的青蛙。

在印度，大多数妇女和女孩不理解赋予妇女权力的真正含义，错过了大量使用它的机会。我们最新的法律制度完全支持他们。所以在印度，女人也可以强奸男人。

宝莱坞电影，电视剧和新闻频道在不久的将来会上演这些情节，人们变得像疯子一样自私，他们甚至能摧毁一切。真为你们感到羞耻啊。

Indian culture is the most backward culture in d world and the worst part is Indians feel proud to be a follower of this. Hopefully new generation will make a change.

印度文化是世界上最落后的文化，最糟糕的是，作为这种文化的追随者，印度人居然感到自豪。希望新的一代能够做出改变。
