I have visited cities in north and west of India with my wife but we mostly visit Mumbai where my parents are originally from. I sympathize with Ms. Cross's ordeal which sounds like a genuine account that a solo female traveller may experience. Mumbai is more safe and my wife at times goes solo on the streets there without fear, but at other times caution is prudent and it is best advised to go places with a male companion. I have heard locals make indecent comments (Mumbai) on tourists and have also seen hooting (Delhi) as well seen group of guys walking with camera taking snaps of tourists (Goa). I am the confrontational kind and can get intimidating but its not easy for everyone to handle such situations. My wife doesnt bother or think much of what we experienced but its coz I was there with her and for her. There is nothing wrong with Ms. Cross to be shattered by her experience which any normal person would feel. She is sensitive and was not ready for the culture shock. I hope she has a better understanding and experience of India on her next visit.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21409922.post-44601052253051427342013-09-05T00:37:17.592+05:302013-09-05T00:37:17.592+05:30Being an indian woman I empathize with Cross.

Shame on those rascals, they should remember that heaven and hell both is experienced on earth...wish these marauders of respect have daughters one day..and experience hell on earth.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21409922.post-83647173309432655252013-08-26T06:29:45.263+05:302013-08-26T06:29:45.263+05:30@David Miller

Thousands of travellers go to India every day. I have been there twice with my family who are all white. She undoubtedly made some stupid choices and put herself in bad situations. There are hundreds of millions of people in India living below the poverty line. And most of them have never seen a white person before. They are staring in the same way we would if we grew up in the 50's and saw women dressed the way they do now. Besides, the last time I checked, staring and taking pictures in public places is 100% legal.<br /><br />It seems to me that Ms. Cross should stay in her own country. She is quite obviously too naive to travel to parts of the world where some intelligence and good judgement is required.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01064515933450054884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21409922.post-4599225625684268242013-08-23T01:34:37.924+05:302013-08-23T01:34:37.924+05:30@rudraprayaga
