Very sad.

Rape or not, it's still disgusting and juvenile behavior and shouldn't be tolerated. Everyone deserves to go about their business without being harassed.

Disgusting yes, juvenile yes, should be punished, rape, no.

I remember i watched this show called amazing race some years ago and in one of their visits, american tourists visited India and the women were complaining harassements in trains. You are right. Women and Public transportation don't mix well over there. I bet it must be embarrassing on national tv.

I saw that episode the women were molested on the train, it was national tv. Indian society is perverted and rape-crazy, no wonder Indian population is booming.

But unfortunately, no one can be arrested for witnessing molesting, or even a rape. Even if they enjoyed. At most, if it's a serious case like a rape, they might get a lenient sentence for not calling the police.

Failure to render assistance is a serious crime here in Germany.

Than don't go to India...

Is it? I was not aware of it. Hope India has such a law soon.

 

[A1Kaid]

Where did I declare my intention of going?

Not you personally but people in general need to stop going to India, when will they learn? How many foreigners have to be raped for them to get the point?

 

[PITA]

For him any one who takes a neutral stance on an issue regarding India is an Indian-lover.

I must be missing something here. Besides, my stance on this was not neutral.

Clearly not enough yet, as seen from the tourism boom. Apparently, the foreigners know the difference between a legitimate rape, a paranoid woman jumping out a window to escape a house-cleaner, and a molestation.

 

[A1Kaid]

The sentence you've wrote has as little meaning as me saying Islam is a language. Try to proof read, genius, and then talk about others' bad English.



For him any one who takes a neutral stance on an issue regarding India is an Indian-lover.

Genius obviously it was a typo I meant to type "in Hindi" not "in Hindu" the name for your language and religion is just 1 letter different. Urdu and Islam clearly are very different words.

I must be missing something here. Besides, my stance on this was not neutral.

By neutral, I simply mean, not as bad as, "All Indian men are pussies", or "Indian society promotes rape" and BS like that. As you didn't write that, I assumed you were normal. Are you?

Genius obviously it was a typo I meant to type "in Hindi" not "in Hindu" the name for your language and religion is just 1 letter different. Urdu and Islam clearly are very different words.

Exactly my point. But a typo is not a very good thing in a sentence criticising others' English is it.

True, discretion is the better part of valor. In the age where information is so readily available, there really isn't any excuse.

 

[PITA]

Are you?

I am who I am and say what I think. I'm not putting a face on for the record.

a paranoid woman jumping out a window to escape a house-cleaner

A house-cleaner that brings along bottles of massage oil, and an insistence to give a female guest a shower... And besieging her room like a predator for over an hour... Is that standard procedure in Indian hotels?
Her story sounds consistent, and giving the rape wave in India - due to its sheer numbers and size of the country - I would expect Indians to give the woman the benefit of the doubt. But from what I am reading on various sites, many Indians try to shift the blame onto the victim, citing that she might have provoked and encouraged the attack, because she was probably wearing some revealing clothes. It is the same lame excuse you often hear and read about, when a woman gets sexually assaulted in the Middle-East.

What makes you think her ordeal is fake?

British Tourist Tells Of India Rape Fears

Jessica Davies tells Sky News how she leapt from a hotel because she thought she would become another Indian rape statistic.

A British woman, who jumped from a hotel balcony in India believing she was going to be raped, has spoken to Sky News to warn women about the dangers of travelling alone.

Jessica Davies, 31, was forced to leap from a hotel balcony after two men tried to force their way into her room.

At the time she had been preparing to leave the city of Agra, where she had been to see the Taj Mahal.

Her terrifying experience, which has left the hotel owner facing a charge of harassment, follows an increasing number of gang rapes and sex attacks, including one in which a student died after being subjected to an horrific attack on a bus.

It has led to protests and demands to end sexual violence against women in the country.

Miss Davies, a dental hygienist from Greenwich, southeast London, told Sky News' Lorna Dunkley she felt it was important to highlight what was happening in India.

She said: "I'm lucky. I'm not another statistic. I actually survived. I wasn't raped or worse.

"I've got a voice and I want to use it to say there is no shame about speaking out on sexual violence and harassment.

"I think there is a problem in India. There is a taboo against women who are assaulted sexually and this needs to be made more aware. My hope is that help is made available."

She said she had received no warning signs.

She said: "I had been staying in the hotel for two nights and ... on my final evening I had arranged with the hotel owner for a taxi driver to take me to a station the next morning.

"At a quarter to four he was knocking on my door. When I opened the door he was stood there with two bottles of oil and approaching the door as if to come in saying he wanted to give me a massage and a shower.

"I was trying to push him out of the room. I managed to push him back, lock and bolt the door, but he continued to scratch and bang on the door.

"After about 10 minutes I started kicking the door and screaming really loudly for someone to come and help me, but nobody came.

"Then there was a power cut in the room so everything went completely dark and there was no phone.

"After about half an hour another man joined him outside and there were two men trying to break into the room and I knew there was no choice but to jump down from the balcony."

She got into a rickshaw and told the driver to take her to a police station but another rickshaw driver pulled up alongside and told him to take her back to the hotel.

She ran off but the first rickshaw driver caught up with her and took her to the police station where he translated for the next three or four hours.

She said had asked the owner for help with booking flights on a few occasions but didn't believe she had done anything to give him the impression he could take advantage of her.

She was also sure she had done everything possible to follow all the recommended safety advice.

"I took care of myself," she said. "Every day all my friends at home knew where I was. If I was getting a late train I was trying to keep people informed.

"I was putting photos up of my journey so I wasn't unaccounted for. I dressed appropriately. I stayed in my room at night if I was on my own, I didn't walk around at night in the dark by myself.

"The only thing I could have done differently was not let him know that I was going to get an early train. These people are opportunists. If they see an opportunity they are going to take it."

She said she would go back, but if she did, it would be as part of a group.

"It's a fascinating country. What happened to me doesn't represent India. It represents a problem in India. I would go back, but I wouldn't go back on my own, I'd go back in a group."
