Nobody made that claim. The article covers Facebook's repeated failure to promptly remove hate speech against Muslims in India, and that's why this topic is being discussed.

Hate speech against women in India may also be an issue, but that's not what the article is about. The article focuses on hate speech on Facebook against Muslims in India.

Independent citation needed.

It talks about the number of rapes reported daily in India and those numbers are utterly, distressingly and shamefully high. However, I don't see where it indicates hate speech against women in India is an equal if not a bigger issue.

I fail to see anything in that article about hate speech against women, violence against women sure, where does it talk about hate speech and how relevant is that to this HN post. Are you sure you did not get carried away by your personal agenda.
