Any Girl/Woman traveling or looking to travel India?

Another Travel Guide for Sisters

Travelling in India isn't very safe, certainly not for a woman.
I've read stories on this from people who've been there. Having to sleep with a pair of scissors in their hands on a train in order to defend themselves. They all advised against taking normal open carriage, but getting a closed sleeping cabin, otherwise you would be in serious danger to get killed in your sleep.
Not fiction, they all said that.

And that's just on a train. Go figure about walking around. It's not safe.

An Australian friend of mine went there, had to walk around with a stick to literally hit people that were crowding her NON-STOP! You can't go anywhere without a crowd of people around you without keeping any distance, they're up against you, touching you etc. That's why she had the stick to at least keep them off of her body.
She was quite the bawsy woman, but even she wasn't comfy in India.

The travel stories I've read tell the exact same thing, incl. on the crowding, and being harassed non-stop, and that it's simply dangerous, especially when dark.

I will never go to India, for that reason. It's not safe.

same stories in Zeeland too, not safe for women, so I heard.

I read ur post and honestly i beg to differ. I do agree there are certain places where this is true, but thats true for all countries. My sisters, mother and all other females generally travel alone and its generally safe. As per coaches, the sleeper ones in AC are generally very safe and no one ever even looks at who is inside, the non AC ones are where even i dont prefer to travel in, if u or someone ever wishes to visit i could maybe advise on the good places to visit which are completely safe
