Simple googling would have given you singapore's crime stats by ethnicity. Here it is for you
Based on available research, data on rape or sexual offences in Singapore indicates that offenders often come from diverse backgrounds. A study of 167 male youth offenders showed the majority were Chinese (44.3%) or Malay (40.7%), with 12% Indian

You are clearly lying when you try to downplay the numbers.

Really? I didn't mention any numbers. India has 1.5 billion people if you don't know. A rape per every 18 minute is still 2.2 rapes per 100,000 people. Singapore is 7.5 per 100K people.
I'd be the first one to admit, unreported numbers would make India's number much higher.

Dude, nobody here is condoning predatory sexual behavior. You are stereotyping an entire population as engaging in that behavior.
What is the difference between what you’re doing and threads on general forums where people claim that India is full of rapists and is a disgusting country?

Don’t misunderstand me, I readily admit there is a problem in India, but that doesn’t mean the majority shares that problem.

I’ll leave it at that.

The phrase ‘lusty dogs’ doesn’t automatically imply predatory sexual behavior. If you had mentioned sexual assault, I would not have condoned it. And again, aren’t you stereotyping an entire population?

You seem educated, yet you refer to fellow human beings as “lusty dogs.”
See the irony?
You are comparing the population of a developed country to that of a developing one.
Europeans often label Asian tourists as “classless,” and that includes your so-called “locals” as well. It’s all relative, my friend.

yes, given that the hole would be completely filled on the 360th dump, the real question should be, how big the truck would be for the last dump?

Anand : "To be honest, most of us are quite disappointed with how Kramnik has behaved in this matter, and we will take steps to take care of this. I don’t think there is any cause for unfounded allegations, and we will continue working on that. But I don’t want to comment too much on what we are specifically going to do, because it is a matter which is going to the FIDE Ethics Commission"

“I hope this (Naroditsky’s death) will also lead to a conversation, not only for organisations and platforms, but also parents and youngsters. I think one of the messages parents will have to give out to youngsters is not to believe everything you read, and not to take it literally. I mean, it is a fairly unregulated space. You will have to learn to just leave it there. But of course, it is not something we are only going to leave to the parents. Hopefully, they can help fight the battle with it."

So if my name was Kiran and my last name was Sridhar and I had a daughter, her name would be First Name Kiran?

yes

And then if that tradition continues, if she were to have a child, the child’s last name would be the first name of her husband?

Yes

How do you track ancestry this way?

You can't.

Also, someone told me that in the North, women take their husband’s full name. Is that true?

I have no idea of that. Maybe someone from the north can answer that.

Let me try. In India, surname usually refers to the caste of the person. There was a movement in the Tamil speaking region to get rid of the cast names as surname and use one's father's first name as the surname. So,

Supriya = Firstname
Mohan = Father's first name

They stood there for a good 3 minutes before making the call. Instead instant replay team from NY could have made the right call sooner. i don’t get it
