Have to disagree - I live in India, and there are countries on this list that I would not even dare visit! Gender specialists, do look at the methodology. (Is this the old one?)

The man who won 28 Olympic medals, Michael Phelps, had to qualify every time for an Olympics. Yet, India's Boxing Federation first calls a trial and then cancels it, giving Mary Kom a direct entry to the World Championship. No champion is above the sport. hindustantimes.com/other-sports/r…

A murder is caught on camera, footage is viral, the people who beat #PehluKhan to death are seen in the video. Trial court acquits all. It’s not the severity of justice, but the surety of justice that deters crimes. Indian justice system fails Pehlu Khan financialexpress.com/india-news/alw…

Bihar floods have devastated Patna like never before. 70% of Patna is partially submerged . Deputy CM and his family also had to be rescued in a boat. We need serious anti-flood systems as this is occurring more frequently. Lack of drainage systems make dewatering impossible.

So, recently, the founder of an adoption agency came up to me, took my hand, and said, "I just want you to know—and I say this to every adoptee I meet—YOU ARE NOT A MISTAKE." Please don't say this to any adoptee. Or, like, anybody.

That may be correct Mr Krishna, but what stops a SI or an insp at a thana from registering a FIR ? Why are complainants turned away , intimidated , made to feel like criminals ? That's not a manpower issue ? Someone is there in the thana to do the job , they just don't do it !

A UK company claims to "predict people's behaviour" by scanning faces & body language to assess your mood. It's already in place at a university. "This surveillance aims not to monitor physical movements but your mental state - it's a dangerous concept” standard.co.uk/tech/cctv-came…
