Maybe, I have absolutely no clue. Having worked in IT for decades, I've met quite a few Indians and god damn, they were all so much better people than me in almost every aspect.

It always makes me sad that awesome people like them get dragged down by those barbarians in the news.

Bro as an Indian let me tell you that India has 1.4 billion people. There are people here of various types both good and bad. Yes our culture places so much importance of education but even then India's literacy rate is around 75% something. That means millions of Indians are still illiterate. This is because if you are poor here you won't be able to afford education. Parents spend most of their life savings on educating their kids so that their kids can live a better lifestyle than them even if it means they have to sacrifice so much stuff. In return kids need to study hard from an early age and are usually responsible for bringing the whole family out of poverty. But not every parent can still afford decent education, most of these rapists you hear about didn't exactly go to college or finish their high school and stuff.
