[Turingsage]

Surely you are lying and this is FAKE news. PDF has informed the whole world that India is committing genocide all over the place. Its the rape capital of the world. Its economy is all but destroyed. Tourists are made to shit in the streets as there are no toilets. The rupee is worthless and people are being killed for looking at a cow funny.
You are mixing up Pakistan's fabulous rise in tourist numbers where billions are trying desperately to visit the greatest tourist attraction in the world to that failure India which is a country that never even existed in history.

The comments would be acceptable if Pakistan would safest country for women in the world.

Pls check the list of the world report on women safety and Pakistan stands on 6th place even 6 times less population than India. Yes, India is 1.

The true fact is that south Asian women don't feel safe if they go out side from her home and specially in the night.

With the original reference of this news is PTI (Press Trust of India) - the puppet of Indian Govt. I made few searches to know if world governments are blind to the situation in India and the fact is that they are not.

• Canada: India - Exercise a high degree of caution - Reference

• Australia: Exercise a high degree of caution in India overall - Reference
• UK: Advise against travel (to some parts) and advise essential travel (selected tourist destinations) - Reference.

Lol. Not everyone is blinded by Pakistani propaganda. Not even Malaysians.

Despite Bilateral Tensions, Malaysia Sent Most Foreign Tourists to Kashmir in 2019

Indian media doesn't have credibility. Unless there is independent news confirming that tourism is increasing in India despite worsening political/social/security and border situation - there is no reason to buy your homegrown media sources.
