festivals like New Years day, Independence day etc., They think New Years day is to drink and cat ugly...More than 1 million people gather in NewYork City's time square..Most of the people are drunk and there both women and men almost touching each other, jam packed. Yet there is NOT even ONE incident. Even drunk men behave respectfully towards women. People are singing, kids are also there dancing with cartoon characters..celebreties are there entertaining..City makes tons of money organising this properly..There is police everywhere..yet they keep their distance.. When will Mumbai learn how to celebrate..when will mumbai's people know how to behave..God only knows!

In case Newyork dont have an enough Man power of police, New york people rape the women and then kill also. I agree Mumbai dont have an enough Man Power of Police. It is very hard to control uneducated people just like Truck drivers and labors in america. May be you dont know Newyork is very dangerous city.

James, The population of Mumbai is 13 million if you add the metropolis suburbs it is approx 19 million thats close to NewYork population, Now compare the crime rate including rape, assault, murders etc in NewYork and compare that with Mumbai, You will be surprised, besides NewYork has the most sophisticated law and order and the budget is several million dollars more than that of Mumbai, In short although the incident was terrible, Mumbai fairs far better than NewYork

Amit,
Of course law and order is in dire straits all over India. But, there's a question of mindset in place too. I have met, heard, and read several people making comments "The girls were wearing revealing dress, so you know..." Now, that's a mindset. Basically, if a girl wears khullam khulla dress, it means FREE FOR ALL. That's a ridiculous logic. We always hear of women getting molested in public transport. So, like I said in a different post, we need severe punishment for such acts to stop this atrocity.

In most cases in India acts do not get reported due to stigma. Even in this case victim refused to lodge complaint. There are women who live the misery of eve teasers day after day on Borivali locals but do nothing. Moreover even police is reluctant to lodge complaints unliess some social organization or press intervenes. If this pathetic situation was not there, reported sex crime in India would be very high

you're absolutely right. Indians are sex bhooka. Ladki dekha nahi ki mooh se lal tapakney lagta hain. And then you'll find some jokers saying : Girls wearing sexy clothes, so... ais to hona hi tha. Abey Kambaktho, apna thadkipan ko justify maat karo.

Its nothing to do with assumption that white drunk man respect women more than an indian. Its all due to our conservative society. How many times you have seen group of 4 guys and 4 girls together for a celebration or party. When you have a group of only man...they simply can't bear the idea of someone else having a women with them and start what they think is fun for them. Infact it is frustration...Reason nothing like this happen in western countries is because of equal ratio of man and women in party revellers. Guess that's why night clubs in delhi only allows couples or groups with significant number of girls.

You feel that with several thousand people gathering in a small place, there will be no chemistry? Men and women will meet and mate in such places. Men and women will become naughty, but in such places the women allow such things to happen without creating a fuss. Some may object and people stop troubling them immediately. Others enjoy this ! So who's to blame?
