How does the rate of violence compare to non-gig workers doing similar work?

I'd be surprised if such incidences ratr is high in south India compared to Ganges plains. Delhi and its surrounding areas are infamous for such crimes, gig or non gig workers.

Hey I was gonna make a sarcastic comment asking the same thing, you beat me to it! Welp, back to disrupting everything and ignoring the negative effects that we don't have to experience ourselves I guess.

  I wasn't trying to be sarcastic, because doesn't the answer really change how we approach the problem? If it is unique to gig work, that really changes how we deal with it.

Ever since I heard the story behind India's Daughter [1] I became hyper-aware of the seriousness of violence in India. Since then I have heard of a lot of social and political issues going on there. The problem is huge and goes all the way to the top levels of government. I really have no idea how Indians could begin to untangle it all. From what I've seen, anyone with the educations and means is looking to get out. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/India's_Daughter https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/India's_Daughter

  I don't think you need to be that paranoid about India. It's a very safe and free country to live in. Not everyone wants to get out looking for work. But with a large population like India, there ought to be some problems that are inevitable. And like any country you have to be careful while visiting as a tourist.

There are laws(official and unofficial, where vigilantes act with impunity) against "love jihad", this is enough for me to know how free this country is.

I think every country i've visited so far has been safer than my home country. So in my case at least, no, i didn't have to be particularly careful as a tourist, in fact i've needed less care when being abroad than when being at home.
