    A lot more than that, they locked up the husband when he was over there looking for her for 3 day's saying he was mentally unstable, and he's was unable to talk to anyone to get help. Then he was kicked out of the country.

    He was on newstalk a week or so ago talking about it.

    Well she wasn't alone so I'm not sure what the relevance is...

    India has a huge problem with gang rape and group sexual assaults and a history of covering them up.

    Fair enough, except you didn't.... You used a single news article, without context, as proof that the most populous democracy in the world where over 1 billion live is unsafe for half the worlds population...
    This kind of whitewashing generic statement, then encourages more less intelligent posts, which is exactly what happened in this case, the the 3rd post (not you) stated that India was a ****hole because it was full of "inbred humans".... And no amount of ninja edits stop that from being retarded racist posting

    I'm often opinionated but rarely care about been taken seriously. Personally I don't believe that referring to behaviour as retarded is offencive, but referring to someone as being retarded is offensive......

    Both forgiven women travelling alone in Ireland and raped and murdered by Irishmen.
    Obviously all possible female tourists travelling alone should be advised not to come here

    Mate you cant compare Ireland to India like that its rubbish, Yeah i get you it can happen anywhere but as a female traveling alone i can guarantee its more likely to happen in India thats all im saying.

    Who doesn't know this already though?

    I also don't think it's really a right/left thing when talking about India in relation to this considering anybody who has told me about India being dodge for women has been firmly on the left and on the flip side apparently the alt-rightish types are quite enthusiastic about Modi (the pretty dodgy very strongly anti Muslim prime minister)

    Sure we had an Irish women killed abroad when she went back to her to room to get a packet of biscuits. I'm all for highlighting of risk reduction measures but people need to live like.

    +1. I seem to recall reading somewhere that of all the well travelled countries in the world, Australia of all places was one of the most dangerous for tourist deaths. India, again IIRC, was one of the safest.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    Is it because so many animals are poisonous, and people just aren't aware of it?

    My cousin moved there and told me he had a spider in his house that could kill a grown man with a single bite, and how dangerous some of the animals are there.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 34,460 ✭✭✭✭The_Kew_Tour


    Very sad to hear this.

    Have to say though India is beautiful place and found it pretty safe.

    No worse then many European Cities

    Europe is probably safer in general though. India is a massive country with huge areas where there's massive poverty and crime. having said that, tourists probably never go near those areas and are probably very wary.
    Whereas in Europe you could easily wander into a bad area and not realize it because you're feeling safer.

    Yes some are but, no it's not. You'd have to be either very unlucky or plain stupid to get killed by animals there.

    I'd be more afraid of the humans.

    Iceland (the country not the supermarket)

    I read it just last week. It's an interesting read.

    If I remember correctly since they have a good supply of anti venom it's been over 10 years since anyone died from a spider bite.

    Yeah i agree with you to a certain extent, India is perfectly fine for the average tourist but you have to remember we are talking about woman travelling alone here, There have been plenty highprofile cases of foreign woman being raped and murdered and alot more that have been swept under the carpet and covered up by local police because you know foreign woman turning up dead is bad for business.
    But again i would like to say it can happen anywhere im not singling india out by any means but it is far more likely to happen to a female travelling alone in lets say Goa i'll use Danielle Mclaughlin and Scarlett Keeling cases for example.
    Not to mention this. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/mar/17/goa-irish-british-danielle-mclaughlin-murder-palolem

    Wasn't a young foreign female student abducted from Dublin city centre and repeatedly raped over a few days before she escaped recently enough too?

    She wasn't, in the article in your opening post it says she was with her sister.

    Listen im not saying we dont have our own problems in this country, Trust me we do, Remember a few years ago the cratloe rape situation, A woman and her boyfriend were taking a stroll through the woods when they encountered a gang of teen joyriders, The male was beaten and shoved into the boot while the gang took turns raping his misses while they threatened to burn the car out with him still in the boot if she didnt comply, Nasty stuff alright.
    It can happen ANYWHERE...
    Its just more likely to happen in India its a fact there have been more cases of foreign woman being raped/murdered/dying in suspicious circumstances then anywhere else.

    Yes. That was a bad one too. Only a few miles up the road from it too.
    However, she survived (not that that makes it any better). Plus her attackers got caught.

    Nope, I think that poster is talking about one that happened nearby to the one I referenced.

    Wish i had solid proof, All i can say is its not too hard to put the pieces together mate India is as corrupt as the countries that surround it, Half the stuff the goes on is not reported and definitely not reported to the police and if it is its more then likely covered up they dont need bad publicity.
    Just take this article into account, https://www.huffingtonpost.in/2014/12/16/crime-against-women-india_n_6330736.html
    "848 Indian Women Are Harassed, Raped, Killed Every Day" so what do you think happens when these monsters that are doing these sick acts come across a woman from a foreign country travelling alone.

    Honestly i don't know if more foreign women are assaulted. Especially when you look at the per capita figures. The tourist areas are probably the safest areas in India.

    I would say that india does have a problem with it's attitudes to women, especially women of a lower caste. We've all seen the reports of women and children being assaulted and killed.
    Eve teasing is a thing is that part of the world. There's a name "roadside Romeo" that is used to describe the "teasers". harassers would probably be a better description.

    I was 6 months in India, loved it. But for females it can be very,very bloody dodgy and dangerous, no question.

    Like Catholic Ireland back in the day there is a s h i t load of warped sexual repression in that society , down to religion again.

    The only way my Girlfriend was not groped and grabbed constantly is because she became my 'Wife' in India, at that moment, she became invisible to all Indian men, but the hands on c r a p stopped. crazy stuff.

    All you PC eejits making out India is like any other countries in this regard are just naive or virtue signalling fools.

    Definitely seems like the local police were trying to brush this case under the carpet.
