I hear from women tourists online that they got their ass grabbed 1 or more times on public transport. (Even times where they're with men.) Thats trauma and I wonder if I could one day go to India as a tourist without gaining trauma. I don't want to be scared of going there.

I still want to go one day, but these reviews mentioning SA scare me.

I know many women who have traveled alone there without problem but I also know many who were assaulted, followed, harassed, etc. India in general has very high amount of annual cases, for locals and tourists alike.
