The answer to that is absolutely not:

Rape:

To be fair Saurav it is 'per capita' so differences in the size of the country/population do not matter.

Before -repping me, you should realise that there is A LOT of unreported cases in India.

And a lot here ...

Is Saurav still going on about how India is better than the UK?

I never said its better, I just defended the claim that it will easily get lost in India or stolen.

Well that's interesting because I didn't :S

I don't think he has - he is just in a position to be more knowledgeable about India than most of us.

Just from reading the first post, I think the man is a bloody idiot.

The diamond is among the Crown Jewels, you say that you have no authority to demand such of the queen. What kind of politician is he??

I'm sure he'll correct me if I'm wrong but I doubt Undertaker was suggesting that the entire population of India want the Diamond back. However it is most likely a topic which interests a large number of people as it was asked.. for example on BBC news if they asked David Cameron if he was going to put taxes up in the UK they are asking because that is what some people want to know.

I'd also like the add that I have lived in the UK for my entire life so on the basis that other people in this thread have been measureing country safety I have come to the conclusion that the UK is 100% safe as I have never had any sort of crime be it theft, vandilisim, rape or assault performed against me. :8 yes people rest assured that you can leave your front doors wide open and your windows unlocked as I'm sure every area of the country will be the same

Surely it's a matter of finders keepers/who stole it should keep it? It was hundreds of years ago, it would be a bit pointless. It has more history here than over there now, or any recordable history at least :/

I agree with this. They may as well keep the diamond where it is.

As for India being safer than the UK, Ive always thought the opposite to be honest. I've been to India plenty of times as I have family there as well, and I sometimes feel a bit unsafe there which I never feel here in the UK. But I think that's just because my family lives in pretty poor conditions over there so I always feel a bit uncomfortable. There are some safe places in India like in the cities but there's also some really horrible places (like where I have to stay. ) It's the same here in the UK I'm sure, but to me the UK is much better. To be honest if I had to choose, I'd rather live in the UK than in India because I definetly feel a lot safer here and much more comfortable.
Just wanted to add my opinion to this as I've been to India.
