To quote you <b>'trust me every single one of them will behave exactly same. Its in their gene"</b> is nothing but a silly generalization. Shows how much you know about Delhi. If you lived in Delhi, you would be more close to reality than is the case when youre in the USA.

Otherwise - I would not only differ but also protest (like a true Dilli waala) at your observations.<br />Your comments are a 'sweeping statement' on Delhi men. First I feel as sick as you do, when I see women subjected to such treatment anywhere. Any decent, normal person would.That does not make all Delhi men sick, just as Mumbai being the hotbed of underworld crime does not make all Mumbaikars - 'Bhais'<br />I have lived in this City for almost 50 years, and I have known many, many Delhi men. All of them, me included were born in decent families, had good normal upbringing, and are mentally sound. We do not lech shamelessly at every woman, and we do not grab our crotches at the very sight of a female. And we are a majority. The sick ones you have met are but a minority.<br />How many of each kind you have experienced - is a matter of statistics - which anyway are reputed to hide more than they reveal.<br />Cheers!Puneet Mathurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17319740585635739616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3452007250221117551.post-82591720245977731582011-04-29T09:14:17.565+05:302011-04-29T09:14:17.565+05:30Hi Ms De,

Delhi is unsafe for women, period. Only no one in Delhi likes to talk about it. Couple of months ago I had blogged about this too (http://www.indusladies.com/forums/blogs/moumita1/womens-safety-my-capital-city-4725/). But what amazes me is that no one is bothered to do enough about it, men here are all lecherous, from those in administration to those cleaning streets. I am hoping that after your colum may be someone in high up the ladder will do anything about it, though if u ask me, honestly, then I don't think so.<br />But thanks anyway for mentioning the topic in your artcle. Believe me, I know the feeling.<br />Regards.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16582737310737017087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3452007250221117551.post-16718718743534455972011-04-29T08:01:35.991+05:302011-04-29T08:01:35.991+05:30Madad Chahti hai

While it is true that, most Delhi men ogle, painting the entire lot with the same brush is not being objective. I have been in and out of Delhi airport so many times and I haven't found it as bad as its portrayed here. In fact, I have met many strangers who were quite helpful...had a conductor in a bus once vacate his seat for me, as I visibly looked too tired and had too many bags on me!

Using terms such as shameless, Cheee!! doesn't really add weight to what you are trying to project my humble blog response as.<br />Besides, what in the world makes you think, any one's defending the wrong doers ? Its only fair to judge a city or a region based on the situation, circumstances, and to some degree its historical development. Thats all I did, when referring to "POWER". It is indeed the power capital of the country, whether you like it or not. Not that I meant that it gave license to anyone and everyone to do what they liked.<br />By being "ON GUARD", I meant, live smart, by trying to avoid situations that would put you in a vulnerable position. <br />By taking an aggressive stand, you're surely not going to change a situation that you don't like. None of you will travel stop traveling in and out of Delhi, and I feel, the change in men and women with respect to each other will come sooner than later, as the country is going through a churn not just economically, but socially, and sexually too.<br />The reference to "girls from the hangout" was a reference to sexual revolution in some sense, where either sexes from the current gen is experimenting with their sexuality like never before.<br />You seem to dissected my response the wrong way. Hope this one puts things in perspective.Arjunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08600620536502461953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3452007250221117551.post-10463004776363849532011-04-27T13:24:27.063+05:302011-04-27T13:24:27.063+05:30Arjun: your comment is so warped i dont know where...Arjun: your comment is so warped i dont know where to start thrashing it. <br /><br />If Delhi is so ok for women and if this is just a bias from outside, how come none of the delhi women are supportin "their" city? how come ALL of them are agreeing with Shobha? <br /><br />Obviously you think that all women go to pubs only to be picked up. You see, we were BORN to seek and beg for your attention. We have no reason to exist otherwise. We are not human beings. We are lego blocks put in the marketplace for you to examine and Grope. How dare we decide who can interact with us and who can't? <br /><br />Shame on you guys for defending your behavior. Chhee!! is this what your families taught you? Your mother will be so proud of you when she learns that you advise women to "live with their guard on." And this "Guard on" will lead to more women being taken off the roads because of the fear of animals like you. <br /><br />Malyaban: Shobhaa is an outsider and has a bias. So let me give you the insider view of the women of delhi: <br />1. In this country, a woman should travel from the North to anywhere, but never to the North from anywhere. The East, the West and the South know how to treat their girls, but the North only knows how to kill them - in the womb and outside. <br /><br />2. You should only use public transport if you want to be publicly groped. <br /><br />3. Seat of power? the only "seat of power" known to most of these shameless animals is in their briefs. And since when did seat of power become enough reason to violate another person's right to exist?How do we knowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10997565750098001380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3452007250221117551.post-62541190599685395702011-04-27T12:45:53.144+05:302011-04-27T12:45:53.144+05:30Its all in the mind, I'd say. The empowered wo...Its all in the mind, I'd say. The empowered woman of today; while she has found her new found freedom, it can be said that she's also living under the influence of massive double standards. Not unnatural, with the western and desi influences making women sway in a direction they themselves wouldn't know.<br />Picture this, the so called hip girls hang out at some of the snazzziest of hangouts, and would be on the look out for some suave stud around, who'd use a classy pick up line on them, and they wouldn't mind that. It boosts their egos u see.!!<br />Flip things around, and if you see the auto-walah, or taxi-wallah or any-wallah at the airport ogling women top to bottom, it turns those very ladies into a whole new creature. India is a diverse nation full of differences, and while the bottom rung of the people; the likes of auto-wallahs, taxi-wallahs sure do not have sophisticated pick up lines in their arsenal :), they do have eyes, ears, and a mind that loves being pampered at the thought of coming close to beautiful women or beautiful looking women (made that distinction intentionally). And this is common to people in all cities and countries of the world with varying degrees based on the sexual maturity of the male-female populations of that region. The Indian counterpart is in the midst of change and maturity, and its not too long when there is some semblance of confused stability that'd come to be in the way men and women view each other. Blaming or demanding policing for all women...well thats being a bit too impractical and foolish !!!<br />And the generalization made of M'bai and other cities vs Delhi is ridiculous. It just smacks of bias. Yes, there is aggression in Delhi, much more than you see in other cities, but thats simply because Delhi is the power capital of the country. And it shows up in some form or the other in a majority of its inhabitants.<br />Simple message, when in Rome, live as the Romans do. When in Delhi, live with your guards ON, just like most Delhiites do.Arjunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08600620536502461953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3452007250221117551.post-80453356867740656392011-04-27T12:24:19.295+05:302011-04-27T12:24:19.295+05:30Hi Shobha-ji
