I have a couple of friends studying in an economics college in Madras(the famous one).
The college is within the Anna University campus. There is some construction work going on and that obviously means some construction workers living in the area.
Yesterday, while one girl was talking on the phone, 3 men literally pounced on her. One made some comment and another grabbed her hand and started pulling her. She luckily managed to get away. She didnt report this to any senior people or anyone because she was too shocked and embarassed about it.
Today, another girl was climbing the stairs to the auditorium and three guys had a camera with them and were taking pics of her.
This is how disgusting college campuses have become in our country. Both girls dont want their names dragged in and so are keeping quiet. They plan on writing an anonymous letter to the concerned people(YEAH RIGHT!! Like that's going to help).
The girls are afraid that if they complain, then the cheap B****** will target them and try to do something worse.
Also, the senior members of the college are known to be ultra-conservative types. They are the "girls should not wear jeans and hang out with boys" type. Many of the students feel that even if they complain, they will get a reply like "Maybe you were wearing something inappropriate or doing something inappropriate" .
This is so pathetic, it makes my blood boil. I mean, these are young college students. Mostly 22 -24 years of age! They have no security within their own college?!?!
I have a few friends there and I know I can trust their judgement when they say that the girls are very decent and DO NOT indulge in hanky panky of any sort.
