the ratio of murder to the population of india works out to around 100,00,00,000 :33,000 or 33:10,00,000 ie 33 murders per million - compared to that of US WHICH IS 130 :10,00,000 -ie 130 murders per million- WE ARE WAY BEHIND THE MOST DEVELOPED COUNTRY'S CRIME RATE

US is in no way the world's most developed country. It only has the biggest economy. But living-standard-wise and HDI-wise it's way behind many European countries and Japan. And HDI includes crime rates too.

US has a much bigger population compared to these small european countries(infact greater than all eiropean countries japan )..and it still gives a high standard of living to its citizens in genereal.
That apart US allows people from every race every country to prosper ..

Do you want to raise the number or what?A single incident of this type should not happen. You have taken a lot of trouble in statistics to justify and to be at par with US.But no condemnation.

No man he is trying to save the image of India by showing that murder/population ratios should be the proper base.

The actual figure could 10-20 times more than this...this is just a official figure..And in a country where use of guns is prohibited for civilians...this is not a small ratio dude...

Statistics can be misleading. In India many times murder is passed as a suicide or natural death. No one knows the actual count.
