    Whatever country you are from, think about the most backwards/rural/remote location that has people with backwards and regressive views.

    Consider that India likely has 5 to 10x the population of rural folks in small villages that have midevil views compared to your country.

    Add in long standing cultural misogynist views that is so pervasive it fully permeates all aspects of government and life and you quickly get to a point where abuse and domestic violence is tolerated.

    As per usual, it’s not like the entire country shares these views. It’s just the the number of backwards views in India is numerically huge because of its population.
