I didn't mean to say "India is safe! How dare you say it's not?!". I was just really shocked at what she went through. Especially since Kolkata's a metro, and (from talking to people who live there), less conservative than my town. I know it's possible to go through all that. I just didn't know it actually happened to people, if that makes any sense? I mean, I know people could go through that because of some Indian attitudes, in theory, but I didn't know it actually happened in practice (as in, I've never heard of a real person going through it.)
overseas, I totally agree. My parents are pretty scared I'll get mugged and / or raped. |
