Japan has put out travel advisories against India. This is a matter of great urgency, seeing the friendly relations of two countries.
Modi-ji must do everything possible to assure Japan that India is safe for travel.
I'm confident that Modi-ji and his capable ministers will take care of this.
India will be a superpower by 2020!

In January, after the alleged gang rape of a Japanese woman by her Kolkata-based tour guides, Japan’s government issued a warning to tourists traveling to India.
On Monday, police said another Japanese woman was allegedly sexually assaulted by a man posing as a tour guide near the western Indian tourist city of Jaipur.
The 20-year-old woman was attacked by the side of a road Sunday night by an Indian man who had promised to help her check into a guesthouse, said Police Superintendent Nitin Deep. He said no arrests had been made in the case.
“She saw the headlights of a car and ran toward it for help,” Mr. Deep said. The driver took her to a police station, where she filed a rape complaint, he said. “We are trying to identify the man behind this.”
In January, six men were detained in connection with the rape of another Japanese tourist, in a case that cast a spotlight on a group of Japanese-speaking Indian men in the eastern city of Kolkata who preyed on visitors from Japan.
A lawyer for one of the men being held said his client is innocent. Attorneys for rest declined to comment.
An official at the Japanese consulate in Kolkata on Monday, who declined to give his name, said that after that incident, his government issued a notice warning tourists “to be careful and behave cautiously” when traveling in India and particularly in parts of Kolkata that have a large number of backpacker hostels.
The warning, posted in Japanese on the consulate’s website, doesn’t mention the alleged rape, but tells prospective tourists to watch out in places with cheap hotels where friendly people who say they are tour guides are not always to be trusted. It warns of credit-card fraud and pickpocketing. http://www.kolkata.in.emb-japan.go.jp/j/anzen_2014q3.pdf
Asked why the notice didn’t mention the need to be on the lookout for Indians who speak Japanese, the official said that “there are some bad people who don’t speak Japanese as well.”
Following a series of highly publicized attacks on women since the fatal gang rape of a student on a bus in the Indian capital in December 2012, foreign tourists, especially women, have grown warier of traveling in India.
India has taken a number of steps, including toughening its laws, in an effort to rein in sexual violence, but attacks continue.
