like i said before, bad things happen everywhere, not just in india....what happened to her was extremely unfortunate but there are many people like her who have had such bad experiences in other parts of the world as well....

fair enough....i have lived in india most of my life & am relying on my experiences when i say its safe....you are probably relying on your experiences in india when you say it isn't safe....each is entitled to their own opinion....we don't have to agree....

i don't think it is because the list seems inaccurate....but then again, you are entitled to your opinion....lets just leave it at that....

if a list is being referred to that seems inaccurate then personally i would not refer it to someone else....

of course it does....india is mentioned on the list while saudi arabia is not....no wonder 'india' would feature more than 'saudi arabia'....the fact that 'saudi arabia' is mentioned a number of times, even though it was not on the list, only goes to prove that there are people reading that thread who believe the country should belong in that list....
