While this Mumbai incident is an aberration, generally, one finds more of these cases of eve teasing & molestation in the north. The key reason is the intense segregation of boys and girls in schools and misplaced religious beliefs, that looks down upon a boy talking to a girl with intense suspicion. The net result is when these boys grow up they just do not know how to interact with girls and ladies and the baser style takes over, when there is an oppor- tunity to interact socially. The long term solu- tion is greater education and co-education in schools. Some of the illiterates behave as if there is no tomorrow when they interact with girls and ladies.
