Why does South Asia get such a free pass compared to the Middle East?

[Tooting Carmen]

Although mysogyny, repression and superstition may be less state-sanctioned in South Asia than in the Middle East, when it comes to things like acid attacks, domestic violence and rape, Pakistan, India and Bangladesh are considerably worse than most Middle Eastern countries. India especially is over-praised in the West, called the "world's largest democracy" etc. etc., despite the fact that the army and police there are barely if at all less brutal than in "totalitarian" China, and even in gender-apartheid Saudi Arabia women can walk around much more safely than in much of India.

Most of those people who come to the USA behave pretty well. I have read about the Acid attacks. Are those Pakis in the UK? If Indians are doing bad thing here they hide behind closed doors. But I would defer to the Indian Americans if they have stories or bad relatives.

No it isn't. why don't you do some research on the prevalence of these crimes before making those statements?

Rape rate
53) Oman 6.6
94) India 1.8

Intimate Partner Violence (%) Physical and/or sexual Lifetime
Turkey 41.9
India 37.2

India especially is over-praised in the West

Not at all

even in gender-apartheid Saudi Arabia women can walk around much more safely than in much of India.

Have you been to Saudi Arabia and India to judge this?
I think it depends on the community or location of India and Saudi Arabia you are comparing.

Really? More so than MENAs, Blacks, Gypsies, Jews or Mestizos? I don't think so.

more then anyone else except gypsies but gypsies also have origins in india and are hated because they are "weddoid and untouchable". sorry man but thats my impression.

Probably because Westerners are shielded from the worst elements of South Asian society, since those do not immigrate overseas.
