I read ur post and honestly i beg to differ. I do agree there are certain places where this is true, but thats true for all countries. My sisters, mother and all other females generally travel alone and its generally safe. As per coaches, the sleeper ones in AC are generally very safe and no one ever even looks at who is inside, the non AC ones are where even i dont prefer to travel in, if u or someone ever wishes to visit i could maybe advise on the good places to visit which are completely safe
