The police were very respectful in the beginning. The male police took care not to touch her or be touched by her. THe women on other hand had absolutely no respect to the police - she was yelling, bit a hand of the police, crying etc. Will nigerians try such stunts with USA police. What would happen if you do that with the police there ? I think everyone knows the answer.

Regarding supressing her by throwing a blanket - it was done after a lot of waiting around. ANy other police, at the very first suggestion of resistance, would have tasered/flung her to ground.

I dont know where all this hate against India is coming. I am Indian and I have seen nigerians there live in style. I used to see them driving in flashy bikes..hooting etc. India has tons of churches and mosques - so they dont face any problem. Actually many of them try to pull a lot of stunts which I suspect they dont try in western countries - like fighting and hitting the police. And thier drug peddling is common knowledge - how will you feel if you are middle class parent with daughters and a foreigner is peddling drugs near a street corner.

All this in no way justify attacks against nigerians but its totaly wrong that nigerians are living cowardly life in India. They probably live far more confidently than they live anywhere in the world.

Coming to Indian in Nigeria - I dont see any evidence that they are indulging in any crime - but complaints that they are tough taskmasters and not easy to work with. Thats to be expected - look these guys travelled thousands of KMs to better themselves economically they are not going to squander it away by being nice - they are going to be tough but not criminal. You will find many happy go lucky types in india but its probably in lesser frequency among Indians who are driven to travel to forerign countries.

You should be proud that people travel thousands of Kms to supply skills in your country and glad that Indians are doing it.

And Indians wherver they go dont preach you about human rights, democracy etc - they simply adapt to existing governances - they dont try regime changes, proselytation etc - they just mind their business - nothing wrong with it.

This is serious so it means that anybody visiting that country should not smile at all. It means that the country is not for people like me that smiles and laughs a lot, that one no bi dead zone where people frowns like tomorrow no dey. Does it mean that all those smiles they show in their movies are fake? By the way, do you reside in India?

Wow ..you are reading things I havent typed. Did I say never smile ? what do you normally do when a group of men whistle or ogle at you when alone? do you wink and smile at them? In which bollywood movie have you seen a girl smile at those whistling at her. Normally alone girl may just ignore and walk or yell back at them .All I am saying is that when these things happen in India(perhaps many other parts of world) just walk along with a face indicating displeasure. If you talk back you invite more attention. Just a friendly advise to your question. I am Indian not currently residing in India. All the best.

How safe is it for a woman to travel to India alone new Delhi to be precise? Meanwhile, I thought you are in Estonia which one be India travel again?

Very safe if you are travelling in normal hours (daylight or early evening). There will be a bit of ogling you need to brush off with a frown on your forehead - you will be alright.
