A rumor about this place — 2 years ago
When I was in Japan, staying in a hostel, one of my roomates one night was an Austrailian girl that was traveling with friends all over the world. She had just spent 6 weeks in India, where she said the people treat women, especially white women, very badly. (As in they will spit at you and make your trip difficult) Granted, she was extremely fair-skinned and naturally bright blonde, and she spoke her mind no matter what it was. She said it was a wonderful place, nonetheless, but she was happy to be somewhere not as sandy for a change. I would love to visit India, but I don’t want to cause a scene anywhere just by showing up… I like to blend when I travel – I don’t want to be a tourist, I want to be a well-seasoned traveler. I guess I’ll have to research more. But this hasn’t been the only time I heard that women aren’t treated well there. Any thoughts?
