while things like this happen pretty much anywhere in the world, india has been in the news for the wrong reasons as of late....

having said that, i don't think india is unsafe for women at all....i have tons of female friends, clients, family members visiting india all the time & none of them have ever experienced bad behaviour from men here....my wife, sister & other female relatives have never been victims of bad behaviour as well....

i have always maintained that most indian men have this really bad habit of staring....i can't explain what the reason is for this behaviour & i understand how something like this could make someone feel uncomfortable....but in 99% of the cases this is as far as it goes....the remaining 1% are the bad apples who give the rest of the country a bad name....but then again, this is true no matter where you go....
