I believe rapes /sexual assaults are happening more in US. Such serious offenses are not common in IITs and Universities. However Delhi could be an exception.Quote:

That's probably because IITs have relatively fewer female students! :lol:Quote:

Could you give me at least few examples of sexual assault cases in the universities other than IITs? You need to provide at least some data to go on extrapolate your theory!
And dont go on say nobody reports and everybody is getting raped and all that!
inga ennapa nadakuthu :sigh2:
Lambretta believes that Indian universities are less safer! That is what going on :)
Not sure abt this. I studied in an engineering college located in a rural area. I have not heard / know even a single incident of misbehavior with female students during my stay there, not even women complaining of lewd comments. There were few gang-fights (Note well, not bangs :D ) among the guys, nothing too big. Not sure how Lamby got this notion / info.Quote:

@sathya, OK so ur college didnt witness such an incident, good! :)
But u cant deny that these happen on Indian college/univ. grounds. And more often than not, the perpetrators happen to be some influencial/politicially connected background! OTOH, this factor couldnt work in a foreign campus, right tamizh? :)
I seriously think you are watching too many tamil movies and got confused with realities! Perhaps, Gautam Menon's and Vijay's starers? :roll:Quote:

Does it really matter?
I can try find some supporting information of crimes in india for you as you are coming with stories and blah blah.
Today, distance means nothing. I can also read "the hindu" everyday morning and keep up with everything in India in the internet world.
You seem to be living before christ times! Wake up!
Why must you get personal and emotional? What's wrong with a Civilized reply which addresses only the point instead ofQuote:
You are coming with stories and blah blah
Like Lambretta's signature says "CHILL I SAY!!" 8-)Quote:

Ippadi tension aanal BP enna aguradhu? :P
okay, anyway, as you were. :wave: :twisted:
Stiglitz, :exactly: :thumbsup: :D
And thamiz, Have a nice day! :D
Finished reading today's "Hindu" btw? :)
Thamiz does the hindu report EVERYTHING that happens in India? for you to say just by reading the newspaper you can keep up with everything?
There are so many little things that cab be known ONLY by physically being there.
:exactly: Well said, muchAcha! :thumbsup: :)Quote:

:exactly: and I learnt this very well after coming to India. It's as if the newspaper information is "theoretical" and learning things when u live here is the "practical Knowledge." If the Social Climate of India is a Subject that is. :PQuote:

There has been a massive increase in Indian Students studying in UK since 2008! All most 50% of them end up working to support families back home rather than studying
