since we are 2nd largest populus country in the world...it logically follows that we have more psychopath perverts roaming in our midst.
if u travel in any crowded buses or trains or for that matter just stand in any place teeming with people u would find lusty hands foraying in search of women's body.
its the responsibilty of women to avoid these surroundings and that of the police too to apprehend the culprits as soon as possible.
but there no need for the hyper-active media to jump in and project the country in bad light. sure, the guilty must be castigated but they do not deserve undue coverge which may create a perception that india is full of perverts.

Agreed we have more or as many perverts in India as in the west. Agreed that any woman who has travelled in any sort of public transportation in India would know how the sick minds of some men works. But it is NOT the responsibility of the woman to avoid these surroundings. We do not live in a medieval society, we live in a modern society, which should have some semblance of law and order. Women do have to travel to get to work and other places and it is impossible to avoid situations like that. It is the duty of the police to apprehend, prosecute and punish these perverts in a timely manner and it is very much the duty of a responsible media to report these issues. It is not about projecting the country in bad light, it is about reporting news and shaming these perverts. The media also needs to aggressively highlight incidents involving Indian women and not merely foreign tourists.
yes these reports get frontpage headlines whereas women in india are frequently abused and they go unreported. the important thing is that the culprit should be booked and such licences be revoked whether they are owners of guest houses or tourist guides.
more and more tourist police is required in these towns. and its the duty of every citizen to keep an eye on such malicious people and report their indecent behaviour immediately.

we indians are such hypocrites we talk about our great sanskriti but this country is full of phukat chodus all perverted hypocrites
the guilty party is the stupid indian media which is adept at turning a no-issue into a huge national issue. these cases of molestations etc are unfortunately considered banal in many western socities. western countries are infact more unsafe than most of indian cities for women.

could you please explain to me how this is a non-issue? Rape and molestations are not considered banal in western societies. They frequently receive extensive coverage in the media.

hyderabadi chchinare!!!india is not depend on tourism it has a great power of it/agriculture/mining/technology..laaandurichand
Some how i feel like as our economy is growing our people are becommng more and more bold in a shamfull way great power brings great responsibility.we shoul change our thinking as soon as possible or such kind of incidences will tarnish indias emage of indian people on international level.and it might take decades to change that image.Better to be cauciouse than sorry.
these perverts are a part of all socities including the so-called advanced countries of the west. infact the awful abuses against women are unfortunately more common in the west.
its only that the indian media is infatuated with the foreign tourists that all the incidents concerning get all the undue hype.
why dont the media report all the cases of molestation, which i am sure wouls run into millions, rape and assault.
