When a reporter posted on X about their experience with 'sexual aggressiveness in India,' singer Chinmayi Sripada responded. The reporter wrote,“The level of sexual aggression I witnessed while living in India for several years was unlike anywhere else I have ever been.”
They added,“I never met a female traveler who had not been groped or assaulted or worse, even if they had only been in country for mere days. I love India. It is and always will be one of my favorite places in the world. But I have advised female friends who asked me not to travel there alone. This is a real problem in Indian society that warrants more attention and that I hope will improve in time.” Sharing a screengrab of their post, Chinmayi wrote,“Now they'll say this is an excuse to defame India, toolkit etc.”
She also called out another netizen who alleged that the reporter was 'defaming the country,' writing,“This is such an uncalled for, unempathetic response to a foreign national who publishes (after adding he still loves the country) his experiences as a tourist. Aththi Devo Bhava and Beti Bachao are mere slogans. It is well known by now how men in India ogle at and harass foreign nationals and women. It was only a few days ago that a Korean vlogger published how she was harassed. No idea why these people are in denial instead of acknowledging and putting systems in place. It is not as if the process of lodging a police complaint is easy.”
