India has been a land of warmth. Although there are crowded streets, tampered roads, indiscipline in following traffic rules but there is more to India as a whole. People here are always kind hearted and ready to guide you to places one wouldn't dream of reaching through maps. There are shops and houses built so close to each other that one would find the real meaning of scarcity of space. Specially in metropolitan cities. Earlier the country was one of the safest and most comfortable places to visit and live. People had little needs and wants and there was an air of comfort. People earn little and manage their living in the small earning scales they have. All people want here is good food and a relaxed life. They need a well established social life and the warmth of people they know.
The time is changing these days. People's thoughts and work styles have changed. Now a days people need more money. Social life has been reducing and reducing day by day. Traffic congestions happening now and then. More accidents are leading to high death numbers. People have forgotten the importance of safety, all they need is to reach places on time. They drive rashly and you would find one death in every 10 days happening. The cops aren't playing their roles well. They stand by the street stopping people to check for their driving licence and vehicle documents and make some money through bribes. The taxi people charge more to people who cannot speak local language or from tourists that come to visit India. The charm of India is going down over the years. People are loosing the feeling of warmth their ancestors had passed over to them. Money money and more money is all that they demand. Fast earnings and easy earnings. People don't want to put in efforts to make themselves rich.
Bomb blasts, terror attacks have shaken the countries various cities causing deaths and installing fear in the minds of the citizens. There is immense amount of communism that follows. People have sold their conscience for money. They want to move to developed countries and live a more organised life, a more safe life and probably a more rich life. There is no effort of the common citizen that goes into the well being of the country.
People forget the various damages that are done by terror attacks that killed the soul of the country. I would be glad if people could come together and give us ideas of how the country could be improved so that we the citizens can say with our relaxed mind that we are safe here and happy here.

India is definitely a very safe place for not only Indians but foreigners also. Its very safe compated to many places in the world . India is infact one of the safest place in the world. Just stay out of Bihar, UP, MP, Chattisgarh, Jharkhand, Kashmir, and Northeastern states, you are completely safe!

'Home sweet home there is no place like home' as the phrase goes but now even at home we are not safe, the fear used to be there if somebody comes to kill us or if anything unnatural happens. So evrything depends in our thinking and believes.
