    Im just stating the fact thats its very dangerous for woman to be traveling alone in india, There have been multiple cases of foreign woman being raped and murdered.

    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.

    Exactly my point im sure theres more to the story then they are letting on, Apparently the body showed signs of strangulation.

    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.

    Many worry about Artificial Intelligence. I worry far more about Organic Idiocy.

    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.

    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

    Why women should not travel alone in Ireland:
    Inga Maria Hauser - sexually assaulted, neck broken and dumped in a forest in Antrim.

    what about the poor girl who got assaulted in a tent?

    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.

    This is the same case as I asked about in the post under your own, I am pretty sure.
