The intelligence inwards Bharat hasn't been really encouraging of late, specially the pregnant bits nearly how unsafe it is for women both Indian in addition to unusual to deed around, the bits which right away brand every adult woman await over her shoulder alongside suspicion in addition to trepidation every in addition to then often, entirely equally a precaution. Being a citizen of Mumbai, I had ever been proud nearly how the province of affairs was withal in addition to then much amend hither than inwards a lot of other places inwards the country. This was until a malicious rape occurred non to a greater extent than than 10 minutes from where I live, in addition to inwards a really frequented in addition to pop area, Lower Parel. This is an surface area where ane of the most pop malls inwards Bombay is, along alongside offices in addition to upscale gig venues in addition to cafes (including Hard Rock Cafe, Mumbai). Everything all of a precipitous seemed much to a greater extent than real. This could convey been anyone; a friend, a relative, an eminent individual of the metropolis or country.
The lamentable component division is that most people who convey travelled inwards Bharat know that a bulk of the province has the friendliest in addition to most hospitable, loving people. H5N1 few incidents caused past times a handful of hooligans convey devoured a major portion of the intelligence inwards all media forms, in addition to planted horrific images inwards millions of heads. Adding to the already bad scenario was the article on CNN written past times Michaela Cross that went viral on the cyberspace (at the fourth dimension that I write this it has over a ane 1000 m views in addition to 104k shares). Sitting inwards my chair watching all these articles trammel upwards ane later on the other, I wondered how anyone could maybe muster upwards the courage to locomote in addition to explore the countless beautiful pockets of this country.
As much equally the province of affairs needs to improve for women to experience secure, nosotros felt that the many positive stories suppressed underneath the horrible ones inwards the intelligence needed to come upwards out somehow, in addition to that alongside certainly amounts of precaution, in that location were magical experiences waiting to unfold out there. So inwards improver to the optimistic in addition to patriotic responses that convey been cropping upwards on the cyberspace to develop people nearly the other side of the story, nosotros decided to create our ain bit, in addition to asked people to portion whatsoever uplifting in addition to heartwarming experiences they had had on the route inwards Bharat on our Facebook page. There were definitely a duet of gems inwards there! Have a await :)
We'd beloved to hear your comments if you've had whatsoever positive experiences! We promise it volition give promise to the dejected in addition to ashamed Indians out there, in addition to affords someone who has entirely heard entirely ane side the chance to brand a to a greater extent than balanced decision, in addition to perhaps convey a revised opinion.
