Re: Reader´s digest: India the third least trusted country in the worl

Actually, I think that it means a lot what kind of reputation a country has. Tourism, trade even stock markets react quite fast to these things.
Though I agree with you to some extent that it is a problem (the rape incidents), it does not tell you the whole picture.

According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), an American organization, 1.3 million women were raped in America in 2010

1.3 million. (yes that's true). So I don't think they have any right to actually lecture anyone on women's rights.

Re: Reader´s digest: India the third least trusted country in the worl

Because China was hated and vilified by the West not too far in history.

I believed all that splashed in the Reader Digest (very illustrative in graphical explanation and content) since it could be and appeared to be true.


Now, China, Hagar the Horrible, is the toast of Europe and the West.

The rapid and unexplainable transformation has zapped me between the eye.

I now understand the game of disinformation and so I am better versed to see it through a bit.

It is an essential base denominator to indicate how fickle and contrived the wind blows in the West.
where is vilification or hatred towards Indians? This Reader's Digest survey was conducted in socio-economically developed European countries, also prestigious for high moral standards. Their opinions certainly have grains of salt. Indians must take criticisms in a constructive way rather than obfuscate with labels like "west" or "disinfo" or deflect the attention of readers from what is really happening.

Re: Reader´s digest: India the third least trusted country in the worl

There are both good and bad elements in every society. Good elements tend to act in a positive way while bad elements do exactly the opposite. Almost all the western societies have plenty of pretty good natured individuals who have a welcoming attitude towards the humanity. I have always admired Western society for its openness despite some of its basic weaknesses. As long as there is an ongoing friendly cooperation between India and the West on serious notes, I think India should treat West with care. In this context, these type of reports are nothing but a crap and need to be ignored once and for all.

Re: Reader´s digest: India the third least trusted country in the worl

In Finnish newspapers were today headlines, that Finland is worlds 4th trusted country. In the same study India was among the last. How do you see this, is Reader´s digest partial? Can these polls be trusted?

British Wyman Dillon & Research Institute at the turn to the study responded to a total of 17 676 people from 10 European countries (Finland, Austria, Poland, Portugal, France, Romania, Germany, Slovenia, Switzerland and Russia). Finland has throughout the investigation one of the most reliable among the countries. Switzerland and Sweden share the top spot (68%), Germany (65%) is the third and fourth Finland (62%). The survey was accompanied by a 24 nationalities.

RESEARCH around the world rely on most Swiss, Swedish and German nationals. The Finns placed fourth.
Reader's Digest says a recent study of trust between nations.

Swiss said that he trusted average of 68 percent of those surveyed, 68 percent of Swedes as well, the Germans 65 per cent and 62 per cent of the Finns. List three worst are India (14%), Romania (8%) and Iran (6%).

Results will survive the Reader's Digest, together Wyman Dillon & Research Institute with making large study, which examined ten European consumer confidence in the citizens of different countries.

Respondents to the survey had a total of almost 18 000 in Finland responded to the survey 2026 people.

Least Finnish rely on Russian. The survey, 80 per cent of Finnish replied that they do not trust the Russians at all, or at least not very much. The Romanians are located in Finland's second list (78%), and the Greeks of the third (76%).


Evening-Sanomat asked the experts how the results could be interpreted.

University of Eastern Finland, Professor of History, Kimmo Katajala emphasizes critical thinking, even among the peoples confidence in his opinion, is quite relevant to find out.

- If the same type of thing should be asked about, say, 1860-70's, the answers would have been different, Professor Kimmo Katajala says.

- The survey responses can be influenced by how the concept of ethnicity today, and on the other hand, the kind of national stereotypes fed. It explains how the history, shape it, what kind of reality is perceived, Katajala stresses.

The Nordic countries, Switzerland and Germany are culturally and politically, the same types of countries. On the other hand, for example, France, Greece and Italy are in the Nordic countries culturally different. Russia is the other dissenting because of their history of its own.



University of Helsinki, ethnology, Professor Hanna Snellman to emphasize that these studies measured mental images rather than the status quo.

- The results are interesting. Such studies once practiced a lot in Sweden. For example, Sweden and Russia as reliable differences can not be justified familiar to pry, because after all, common in Finnish networks with the Russians, Hanna Snellman says.

- It should be pointed out that differences arise from what has been learned and taught. German-speaking world can affect the success of a common linguistic and common methods. The tail-end is interesting. Could the results be explained by, say, the Indian Cultural distance, Snellman says.

- Reliable-country nationals may be combined with the most is that they can be considered to share the same directional goals. This also applies to countries whose history is a burden, Snellman estimates.

Re: Reader´s digest: India the third least trusted country in the worl

Maybe the study was done at the time of the gang r**e incidents, those were published quite widely. It could have an effect on the reputation of India worldwide. It is really surprising that North Korea or Somalia are not on the top, but Iran is. That suggests that Americans have large representation on this poll. In the Finnish list India is number 7. I have never been in India, but before this I thought India´s reputation in Finland was quite good, this is really surprising.
So once again a Survey and people want comments.

Anyone who knows even a Zilch of these surveys knows how misleading it can be.

But the famous r*pe cases becoming headlines is new to Europe where similar cases in Europe is not news at all since they are quite used to it since they are all liberated! So many Gay Priest and Child Abusers free in open in EU.

Re: Reader´s digest: India the third least trusted country in the worl

There are twice as many murders in Finland as in Sweden, and most of the Finnish perpetrators were drunk. But there are fewer victims of organised crime in Finland than in Sweden and the Netherlands.

Violence against women: One-third of EU women affected - survey


BBC News - Violence against women: One-third of EU women affected - survey

Finland is an amazing country, especially if you happen to be a woman. This was the first place in the world where women could vote and be elected – and in less than 100 years, Finns elected a female president and a female prime-minister. It is a country where more than half the workforce is female, as well as almost 50% of the cabinet ministers. Here, maternity leaves are well-paid and don't hinder your return to work. If you are a female voice in the media or in business, you are going to be respected and possibly praised. No wonder this country is number three in the gender equality index of the European Union.

When it comes to domestic violence, however, the figures tell another story. Here, almost half (49%) of all women in a 5.4 million population confess they were victims of violence by a partner – a much bigger percentage than that of other Nordic countries – for example, Denmark (22% in 2003) or Norway (26.8% in 2008), both of which have roughly the same population as Finland. On this front, women even fare better in Albania, a much poorer country by far, where 31% of women are victims of partner violence.

Typical homicide in Finland is that a group of people go drinking, then they wake up in the morning and realize that one of the party is dead and nobody remembers anything. You must understand that we have long, cold and dark winters with no sunlight. It has an effect on people.

The violence is normally quite mild, the aim is not to leave any physical marks.

I have no problem with any country or any organisation running polls, opinion polls, and all sort of surveys.

I have a mere disquiet for statistics. It is manipulatable.

Statistics depend upon the input fields. And these fields can be so organised that it favours a point of view that is desired.

Then there are intangible inputs that cannot be quantified. And yet, with a sleight of hand, they are quantified.

As far as RD is concerned, it is a periodical for which I have lost respect.

It used to give very gripping tales (almost like Clancey) of torture and atrocities of China and Russia (Bamboo Curtain and Iron Curtain). And overnight, they changed their tune! I wonder if any country can overnight change its manner of approach to governance.

How is Clancey relevant to this? And how are those tortures and atrocities involved in the particular survey that examined European consumer confidence in the citizens of different countries?

At a state level it's not a new discovery that psyops (by means of survey, poll, even books, movies...) are rampant and routine to demoralize competitors components, rivals and the likes. But this Reader's Digest is a private, and respected magazine worldwide. How will u prove your allegation , manipulatable, manipulated by whom, what for? What is the changed tune? What's a big deal for RD on one hand examine "consumer confidence" (in which India is ranked no.1), and on the other hand continue its relentless attacks on Chinese atrocities? Well even though u've lost respect for RD statistics let's focus on the very topic in hand i.e. INDIA THE THIRD LEAST TRUSTED COUNTRY IN THE WORLD per RD.

You are hilarious! Perhaps intentionally.

Why would someone in India take a survey seriously that even people in Finland (like you?) do not understand?

The survey does not provide any further data to examine by the scientific method. The survey does not include a broader group of countries (e.g. China, Pakistan :rofl: ) or perhaps it did and the surveyors did not publish the results - at least see no reason to not include a major country like China (there we go again).

If gang r**e incidents in India impacted the results like you said, the people the Finnish trust the least should be themselves :p since they seem to mistreat their women (without any physical marks) and cannot seem to hold their liquor.:namaste:
