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.
