In reply to Justine.

I read the article about it and the stuff the men said made me cry and feel just mentally shitty all day, so I haven’t watched the docu yet – it makes me angry and judgemental which isn’t good since I live here. But , I read the news in India and many terrible things happen, like everywhere else.. but I can’t get too wrapped up in it because honestly, I would have to leave India it’s so upsetting

Hi. Rachel

I read your amazing post.There are many unknown historic and amazing places in India yet to be explored.

Stay alert and travel in group at unknown places.

God bless you.

What a beautiful place but such a horrific story about that girl. I’m glad that you brought it up. It’s good to paint a whole, accurate picture of India, not just the flattering parts. Out of curiosity, have you seen the documentary India’s Daughter? My boyfriend has been trying to get me to watch it, but we haven’t actually sat down to watch it yet. It’s supposed to be pretty intense and very eyeopening, and it seems really relevant to what you’re talking about here. It boggles my mind that this stuff goes on all around the world…

I see amazing similarity between Nagara’s corbelled stone archways and mesoamerican Mayan arches. These ruins are over 8,000 miles apart, but use almost identical building methods. Phenomenal.

I am saddened to read about the young girl’s rape by an influential rogue. I am encouraged the girl has a community that is seeking justice for her. Rape and murder for that matter, is fairly common all over the world for village girls. India is not unique.

I do not believe India has any more reported foreign rapes than most other countries. During the year I spent in Israel, three foreign acquaintances were brutally strangled, beaten , raped and left for dead. One friend, Ruby, had studied Arabic and heard her assaulting criminal scream he had just gotten out of prison and needed to a vagina, any vagina.

To this day, I can close my eyes and recall seeing all three had the same hemorrhaged sclera caused by murderous strangulation. Man’s inhumanity of women is shared. Be aware. Anywhere. Always.

Gorgeous views from the fort, wow! I love exploring stuff like this: ruins overgrown with nature, no ticket booth and health and safety barriers!
That’s a terrible story, that poor girl. It’s so sad to hear these horrible stories but you are quite right mentioning it. This is the unfortunate reality, the world isn’t perfect and there is often an unpleasant undercurrent in many places we choose to visit and fall in love with, we shouldn’t ignore it.
