Chitti_Robo_Rebuilt Posted August 27, 2013 Report Posted August 27, 2013 [color=#333333][font=Georgia, Times, serif][size=3]Thank you so much for giving another perspective on women traveling in India. I’ve never been to India myself, but while hearing all of the gruesome stories on the news I couldn’t help but think that there must be lots of women that are not getting harassed and do have an amazing time.[/size][/font][/color] [color=#333333][font=Georgia, Times, serif][size=3]So thanks again for this.[/size][/font][/color]
Chitti_Robo_Rebuilt Posted August 27, 2013 Report Posted August 27, 2013 [color=#333333][font=Georgia, Times, serif][size=3]You’re so welcome, Angela – and thank you for taking the time to read the story and leave a comment! As a woman who has traveled extensively through India and loved so many moments of it, I felt like I needed to try and balance out some of the negative press the country has been getting this past year. I hope you’ll have a chance to visit there yourself one day soon![/size][/font][/color]
Chitti_Robo_Rebuilt Posted August 27, 2013 Report Posted August 27, 2013 [color=#333333][font=Georgia, Times, serif][size=3] Thanks so much for writing this Candace, I have been thinking of doing the same thing. I have travelled alone in India for 17 months and the only really negative thing that happened was having my breast quickly grabbed in Old Delhi, back in 2006.[/size][/font][/color][color=#333333][font=Georgia, Times, serif][size=3] I walk through India with a big smile too, and common sense, and I find the combination works for me. I have had far too many special, wonderful, warm moments with the women AND men of India to count. They are the most open0hearted people I have ever met.[/size][/font][/color][color=#333333][font=Georgia, Times, serif][size=3] Everyone has their own experience, but mine has been overwhelmingly positive.[/size][/font][/color][color=#333333][font=Georgia, Times, serif][size=3] Having said that, I was in Delhi in the aftermath of the Delhi Gang Rape and the atmosphere was very very dark. I would love to see ALL Indians and the entire culture respect and honour women, and give them the opportunities they deserve. I pray for this.[/size][/font][/color]
Chitti_Robo_Rebuilt Posted August 27, 2013 Report Posted August 27, 2013 [color=#333333][font=Georgia, Times, serif][size=3]It’s great to hear from you here, Mariellen, and I really appreciate you sharing some of your wisdom gleaned from so much time in India. I love what you said about the combination of a smile and common sense – more and more I really do feel that is the key to engaging with India, and with the world…having the courage to be open to new places and encounters, but also knowing when to trust our gut and say no. I too am hoping and praying that incidents like the Delhi gang rape continue the discussion about honoring women[/size][/font][/color]

It is disheartening to read and hear all of these horrible stories and balance it with my desire to see India.

Chitti_Robo_Rebuilt Posted August 27, 2013 Report Posted August 27, 2013 [color=#333333][font=Georgia, Times, serif][size=3]Thanks so much for your comment, Claire, it was awesome to hear about your desire to see India. While it isn’t an easy place to be as a woman – as so many stories will tell you – I’m still a huge advocate of visiting the country and really hope you’ll get a chance to do so soon![/size][/font][/color]
Chitti_Robo_Rebuilt Posted August 27, 2013 Report Posted August 27, 2013 [color=#333333][font=Georgia, Times, serif][size=3]Speaking as the much-maligned Indian male (from Delhi nonetheless), I agree that there is a lot that needs to be done with regards to safety of women (all women, whether Indian or not) in the country and at the moment I myself cannot be sure exactly how these issues can be fixed but yes, there are many of us out here who treat women with respect and will try to help you if you need anything without expecting anything in return. I just hope and wish that this is the kind of people you and all visitors to India meet.[/size][/font][/color] [color=#333333][font=Georgia, Times, serif][size=3]Thank you for bringing out the positive side of India and its men.[/size][/font][/color]
Chitti_Robo_Rebuilt Posted August 27, 2013 Report Posted August 27, 2013 [color=#333333][font=Georgia, Times, serif][size=3]Subir, I can’t thank you enough for stopping by and saying hello – I was sincerely hoping I might hear from people such as yourself here! It breaks my heart to see travelers like Michaela Cross generalize an entire population as she did, and I wanted to let others know how many incredibly positive interactions I left India with. Thanks so much again for sharing your side of the story.[/size][/font][/color]
Chitti_Robo_Rebuilt Posted August 27, 2013 Report Posted August 27, 2013 [color=#333333][font=Georgia, Times, serif][size=3]Thank you for writing this article and showing a positive side to India! As an American woman engaged to an Indian man, I have started dreading the news from India because I know I will inevitably get stupid comments from people who know nothing about the country. I pray that the women of India get the respect they deserve and that the good men of India help to bring about this change.[/size][/font][/color]

I had a look at your blog and really appreciated your own post about Michaela’s account. It is indeed hard to believe she didn’t get in touch with her university sooner as each negative experience took place. But I couldn’t agree more with you on praying for change and respect in India – here’s hoping that takes place soon![/size][/font][/color]
