@Indischer my overall observation of my countrymen is very positive. They go out of their way to help girls in distress. When I came from Bombay to Bangalore, I took up a job in an advertising firm and the condition was that I had to have a two-wheeler. Now I had never ridden a bicycle in Bombay, always used the bus there to go to school and college and had no sense of balance. I got a TVS-50 and god knows had so many accidents that first year. I am one of those female who is a hazard on road, LOL. I simply have no sense of direction. Well, in every accident after accident, it was the rickshaw drivers who came to help, both to fix the moped and inquire after me. Or say you are traveling on train, they go out and buy you tea, coffee, ensure you are safe, and these are rank strangers.
No doubting that the vast majority of our Countrymen are good, decent souls with a helpful nature. Unfortunately, we cannot deny that our society does fear for the safety of it's citizens after dark, more so the Women. Probably the baddies, even if they're low percentage-wise, are still high in numbers.
I too have never had a bad experience of any kind in Bangalore, but I would still not advice anyone to take a chance and roam around at night.
