Women are burned alive for their dowry and tortured in so many ways. \u00a0Sometimes I just wish I could flee from this &#8220;Incredible&#8221; land, because it&#8217;s less incredible to me having become a land of nightmares.<\/span><\/p>\n<div><span style=\"font-size: large\">If we, the women of India, are not safe in our own land, how \u00a0can we expect the females travelling from all over the world to our country to be safe??<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-size: large\">Therefore, I feel It&#8217;s important that I write this article for the readers of\u00a0<i><a href=\"https:\/\/bodhicharya.org\/manyroads\/\">Many Roads<\/a>\u00a0<\/i>so that my instructions might be useful to women who visit my country.<\/span><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><a href=\"https:\/\/d2wipdjmobk1g8.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2013\/11\/22152623\/II.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2577 aligncenter\" alt=\"II\" src=\"https:\/\/d2wipdjmobk1g8.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2013\/11\/22152623\/II.jpg\" width=\"128\" height=\"120\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-size: large\">Following are a few points to be noted:<\/span><\/div>\n<div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center\"><span style=\"font-size: large;color: #ff0000\"><b><i>THE TEN COMMANDMENTS FOR SISTERS VISITING INDIA<\/i><\/b><\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: left\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: left\"><span style=\"font-size: large\">1. When you plan to visit India, please ensure that you have arranged your stay and travel in advance and not find yourself searching for a hotel when \u00a0you step outside the airport here. This will lower the chances of any criminal distracting you and taking advantage of you.<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: left\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: left\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: left\"><span style=\"font-size: large\">2. When you step out of the airport always take a pre- paid cab from the cab rental office just outside the airport exit gates. Always note the cab no. to be sure you&#8217;re not being picked up by anyone else.<\/span><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-size: large\">3. When roaming around the country, do not wear clothes that are too revealing. India may be advanced in technology and lot more things, but <\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-size: large\">the mentality of most of the men here can still be traditional, disrespectful and predatory.<\/span><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-size: large\">4. Never take any lift from anyone anywhere. Always take proper, approved public transport<\/span><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-size: large\">5. Always try to walk around in groups if possible and do not intermingle with people on the road much. Be polite, but don&#8217;t be too generous when you speak with unknown people. You may sound arrogant to them, but its better to be arrogant than give out any information about yourself that might make you appear friendly and responsive.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-size: large\">6. When travelling at night, only travel by authorized cabs or public vehicles. Take down the no. and name of the driver and car.<\/span><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-size: large\">7. When going to places to drink, never over-drink and never accept drinks from unknown men. Even if you become friends with some guy, try to maintain your cool and distance<\/span><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-size: large\">8. Do not wear too much jewelry or carry an excessive amount in your wallet, as there are a lot of bag-snatchers on road<\/span><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-size: large\">9. Always return to your hotel after your day is over and you have had a fun night. Do not go with any guy, even though he swears to be the most honest and trustworthy of guys on the face of this earth<\/span><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-size: large\">10. And, always keep some phone nos. handy- women helpline nos. police cell no, etc.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-size: large\">Finally, there are amazing and incredible people in India, including men, of course. Ultimately, you will have to use your own judgement. \u00a0Have patience and go slowly till you are sure.<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-size: large\">\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-size: large\">Rest have fun, chill out, travel around India because you may have travelled across the globe; and there is no other country like India..
