Well a better point to start from would be to ask if rape culture in the West actually exists.

i think these reports if accurate would constitute clear signs of a rape culture

Jesus Christ, here we go again with your inability to comprehend what is right in front of your face.

Even if we take the study prima facie it does NOT support your idea of "rape culture" which would be a predominant view (see: normalized) that rape is acceptable. Your own source is replete with issues and at best only supports the notion of 1/6th of society normalizing rape. (1/2 male, then 1/3 of males). In what universe is that normalized?

Now, let's move forward to the actual study which involved a mere 73 men on a single campus. That's problem 1. Problem two for you is when the question is presented as a rape shown here:

When asked whether they would act on “intentions to rape a woman” with the same assurances they wouldn’t face consequences, just 13.6 percent of participants agreed.

So now we're entering sub 7% of the population.

Problem three is trying to compare India to any Western culture at all as if it were an analogous setting. 

It's just insane to me that you cannot even be bothered to take a step backward from your intransigence to see things objectively as they are.
