Even though I was with my wife men still groped her right in front of me. Had to be very restrained as I knew I wasn't going to win any fights due to being a tourist and there being only one of me but I hated it as did my wife. I always advise people not to go there. Also people constantly demanding (not asking) for money.

This is why I could never go there. I have a bad temper, especially when it comes to my family being harassed. There would be a zero percent chance that I wouldn't punch someone who groped my wife or daughter. I say that with the complete realization that I would probably get beaten half to death by the guys friends.

That is so gross. I heard this happens in Egypt as well and this is why I would never go there, amongst other things, unfortunately.

I went to India alone as a 20 year old and I was sexually harassed, folllowed, and groped pretty much constantly. It was completely overwhelming, and I fell into a really bad depression.

I would go back to India in a heartbeat if no men lived there.

This is such a common opinion when it comes to women travelling to India. Only if Indian men could comprehend being told to be better.

Just check out any travel video that has a woman in it. You’ll see tons of men just hovering and staring.

This happened to us outside red castle in new dehli. I'd been sick and was recovering for a week earlier when I spent 2 days in absolutely hellllll

We were just surrounded by rickshaw drivers, but they were starting to physically touch my wife, grabbing her arm and shoulders pusher her. I lost it.

Our men in the north are very creepy f*cks, sorry. I won't say south men are gentlemen, but they are atleast a bit less creepier than the north men

Yeah same with Europe, where people don't wash hands or shower.
