Rahul Gandhi is continuously making such statements in America these days which are going against India in some way or the other. Although his target is Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and RSS. But Rahul Gandhi is getting so immersed in the politics of opposition that his statements are becoming anti-India. While talking about reservation, he had said that reservation in India will be abolished when India becomes a fair place. Rahul Gandhi is being criticized for why he does not find India a fair place. Rahul praises China during his visit. There is no need to argue on how fair a place China is. Yes, the land where Rahul Gandhi is talking about India not being a fair place (America), there common people are being treated fairly, let us tell you.
1- Incidents of atrocities against blacks in America
The statistics of police violence against African-Americans show how much oppression is being done on blacks in America. According to Mapping Police Violence, from 2013 to 2022, 25% of the total people killed by police in the US were African-Americans, while the population of this community in America is only 13 percent. After the murder of George Floyd in 2020, the Black Lives Matter movement raised its voice against racial injustice and police violence internationally. This movement became a symbol of highlighting racial inequalities and increasing atrocities against black people at the hands of the police. Between 2013 and 2022, out of more than 8000 people killed by police bullets in the US, 1978 were African-Americans. That is, the number of black people killed in police encounters was three times more than that of white Americans.
2- Racism in American democracy is more than casteism in India
The growth rate of white and black people in America shows how black people are treated there. According to the National Center for Education Statistics, in 2021, 41% of white Americans had obtained a college degree, while this rate was only 28% among African-Americans. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the unemployment rate of African Americans was about 6 percent higher than that of white Americans. The COVID-19 pandemic further exposed these inequalities. The mortality rate of African-Americans during Covid was about 2.6 times higher than that of white Americans.
3- American society is dominated by capitalism and lobbies, which do not allow laws in public interest to be made
American democracy is concentrated in the hands of a select few people in the country. They have the ability to influence political decisions. Through lobbying, election funding, and large political donations, corporations and wealthy individuals have a profound influence on government policies and electoral processes. The result is that government policies and laws start being made in the interest of those who have the most economic power. This is the reason why hundreds of children are killed every year due to shootings in schools but there is no ban on weapons. The reason is that the arms lobby is so strong that it does not allow any law to be made against itself.
4-It is good that America’s gun culture cannot be compared to India
Given the kind of gun culture America has, it is easy to understand what the state of democracy will be like there. According to 2023 data in the US, citizens have more than 400 million guns, which is more than the population of the country. This availability of weapons promotes domestic violence, crime, and especially mass shootings. According to the FBI and other government reports, thousands of people in the US fall victim to gun violence every year. In 2020, more than 45,000 people were killed in gun-related incidents, including suicides and murders.
In India, although guns are legally available, the process is very strict and controlled. It is difficult to obtain a gun license and most citizens do not own weapons. This is why incidents of gun violence are low in India.
5-Crime in America is many times more than in India
The crime rate in America is many times higher than in India. On what basis is Rahul Gandhi calling India an unfair place? You can definitely look at these figures once. According to an estimate, about 2,900 crimes are registered per one lakh people in America, while about 385 cases are registered per one lakh people in India. Whereas India’s population is about four times more than America. That means maintaining law and order is more difficult in India than in America. In 2021, 6.5 murders were registered per one lakh people in America, while in India 2.6 murders were registered per the same number of people. The same is the situation of rape and women harassment.
6-You will cry after seeing the gap between rich and poor in America
Bernie Sanders is a famous senator of America. He says that in his country 12 million elderly people are not getting enough food. If we compare it with India in terms of population, then at least 50 million people are not getting one time meal. While presenting a committee report in the Senate, he told that about 25 percent elderly people in the country are suffering from social loneliness. Rahul Gandhi should pay attention to these figures to see how the gap between rich and poor is increasing in America.
The average income of the top 1% of people in the US was about $1.7 million per year in 2020, while the average income of the bottom 90% was about $40,000. This clearly shows that there is a huge difference in income between the top 1% and the rest of the population. Similarly, the top 1% of people own about 38% of the total wealth in the US, while the bottom 50% own only 2% of the wealth.
No matter how bad India is, here engineer Rashid accused of terror funding can contest elections and become an MP
In India, engineer Rashid, accused of terror funding, can also contest elections. People who openly support Khalistan can also win elections and reach the Parliament. The Supreme Court hears the case at midnight to save the culprit of the attack on Parliament. Will Rahul Gandhi still call India an unfair place? Is this possible in America?
After seeing and reading these statistics, compare India and America to find out which country is the fair place among the two?
