News From India

The Uttaranchal police, while denying that there was any interference or pressure from the British high commission for registering the complaint, said that the lady left for Delhi after refusing a healing checkup. Furthermore, she declined to appear before a magistrate for her statement to be recorded.

This incident is not the first occurrence of its type. Last year, a similar allegation of rape by a women foreigner traveller against a fellow foreigner traveller was done, which subsequently was found to be baseless.

Rishikesh is one of the most beloved destinations in India due to its popularity as a destination of spirituality, ashrams, yoga, the river Ganges, meditation, cooler climes and its ease of reach from Delhi-the gateway to India. Rishikesh is very recommended in all guide books as a must visit place. Hence, a huge number of travellers make a beeline for it.

Lest this worry our visitors to India, we hasten to add that travelling on your own in India is mostly safe. This is well supported by the huge numbers of and concentrate women travellers to India especially from Europe. However, to safeguard one's self it is important to know the possible causes of it and the straightforward precautions that can be taken.

One base fancy is that compared to most Indians, the single female traveller is financially much great off. So she often can be recipient of unabashed vigourous male attention. Women who have a hectic life style back home, without a companion, can in effect let their guards down under the work on of the warmth of such an appreciative admiring attention. These women realise much later, many times with a shattered heart, that it was their purse that was of more interest to their beaus, rather than themselves.

In many non-urban areas of India with the encouraging approval of the whole family, it is a way of life for many young men to whether first try to romantically ensnare the young unsuspecting ladies or if failing in this, then engage them with their families as the daughter of the house.

Either way, all this for some how try and turn these women into a lifelong Atm. There are many heart rendering sad tales of such traveler widows /daughters /sisters. Be true of such undiluted attention and its ensuing sob story.

It is not unusual to see such couples in India. Spotting of such couples embolden many financially challenged young Indian men to try their luck. You can perhaps be a victim of such a scam.

Nowadays India is also gently becoming a destination for sex tourism. Though not as rampant as in Kenya, one can occasionally spot older western women travelling around in India with younger Indian companion.

Such occurrences can mislead and often does mislead young Indian men into believing that this is an easy life - worth pursuing. To implement this plan, the first step obviously is developing friendship, then intimacy; and if this does not go as per plan, it may end up in a bitter experience of molestation.

Of policy there are straightforward cases of robberies which can happen due to carelessness and false bravado on the part of the traveller. To avoid these happenings, think buying an Indian outfit plus avoid visiting bad neighbourhoods.

Finally you can of policy avoid such nuisance by hiring a tour enterprise to arrange your India travel.
