Staring at women is an Indian pastime, UK travel expert

Staring at women is an Indian pastime, even nuns get stared at: UK travel expert - Hindustan Times

After Narendra Modi’s election victory, India has mainly been in the news here for the Badaun rape and hangings, and for Madhya Pradesh home minister Babulal Gaur’s reported remark that ‘sometimes rape is right’.

Hundreds of women protested outside the Indian high commission last Wednesday against the rapes in Badaun and Bhagana (Haryana), prompting Indian authorities here to issue a detailed note on the action taken so far in Uttar Pradesh.

Thousands of readers responded online with disgust and worse to such reports on British news websites, while Britons travelling to India sought out travel experts for advice on 'what to wear in India: advice for female travellers'.

Gill Charlton, an India travel expert at the Daily Telegraph, responded to such a query, writing: “Staring is an Indian pastime; even nuns get stared at. But if you want respect, then dress conservatively”.

Her advise was: “A long scarf, known as a dupatta, is useful in the cities. Even Indian sophisticates wearing skin-tight jeans will fling one over their shoulders in crowded places to obscure their breasts from men who might try to touch them”.

The Foreign Office’s advisory on this issue says: “Women should use caution when travelling in India. Reported cases of sexual assault against women and young girls are increasing; recent sexual attacks against female visitors in tourist areas and cities show that foreign women are also at risk”.

It notes that British women had been the victims of sexual assault in Goa, Delhi, Bangalore and Rajasthanand that women travellers often received “unwanted attention in the form of verbal and physical harassment by individuals or groups of men”.
Recalling that serious sexual attacks involving Polish, German and Danish women travellers had been reported in 2014, the Foreign Office says: “If you are a woman travelling in India you should respect local dress codes and customs and avoid isolated areas, including beaches, when alone at any time of day".

I'm glad people in rest of the world do not stare at women. Foreign tourists should really visit india's neighborhood for their own safety.

Its a wonder why dramaqueen makes so many threads on the same topic, and not one on how his own country can benefit from the loss of tourism to India? Maybe dramaqueen knows more than what she likes to admit???

Like your others threads this also meant for trolling.


Before criticizing other ... look at your own house. I think you dnt look at bold part let me post one more time

According to a 2011 poll of experts by the Thomson Reuters Foundation Poll, Pakistan is the third most dangerous country for women in the world. It cited the more than 1,000 women and girls murdered in "honor killings" every year and reported that 90 percent of Pakistani women suffer from domestic violence.

Why dont you just accept the reality that poondi is your national pastime instead of digging three year old polls.

At least not with a gaze that might even break a mirror.

Listen Basanti, if you have nothing to say on topic then don't waste the space.

You are right. Pakistan should print ads in foreign newspapers (like they did to highlight their contribution to terrorism (war on)) to attract foreign tourists who will no longer come to an india they previously did not know was diverse, poor, undergoverned, unsafe at places and culturally shocking...
