I hope this is a joke, if not, please talk with your friends first.

I am sorry I did not wanted to be rude, but you should really think about before writing things such as women should not travel alone at anywhere. We should and do consider woman just as capable for traveling alone without any harm as men, and they should be too!

As a men, I don't think you are in a big danger If you travel to India if you use common sense and do not start a fight

I think that all travel is unsafe no matter what gender you are. When you travel you are taking the risk and you should abide by local customs at all time so you don't offend anyone. Also travel safe and use common sense and then you will be fine! Don't look like a tourist otherwise you will just be an easy target!

Make or female, it doesn't really matter, danger is always everywhere and its important for both sexes not to take unnecessary risks.

While most people will have common sense and be able to sense when a situation isn't right, sometimes there won't be any warnings, and that could be at the end of your own street somtimes, not necessarily in another country.

As it's been said before any country can be as safe or dangerous as you make it. If you decide to adventure into areas that might be considered dodgy, the results might not be the best. Crime rates in India aren't that high taking into account the large population. If it was completely unsafe you would be advised by your travel agent to avoid certain areas of the country.

Your best bet is to just to a lot of research on the area that you plan to visit. Like any other country, India has bad areas and good areas. Some places the crime rate is high, and others it is low. It really just depends.

In general, I don't think it's specifically a place where males need to worry about their safety.

I think it is mostly for women, not men, even in some well developed areas, women are not respected and are sometimes taken advantage of whether it be over priced good, or worse mugging or other acts that put their safety in danger. For men as long as you don't slouch around too much, you should be okay.

We should never make general statements about anything in our lives and this is not different. You can go to a country with least crime rate in the world, i do not know which one, probably Japan, and you can get into some kind of trouble. Your well being depends not only on other people around you but on you as well. You will need several factors to avoid anything stressful in any country. You will need to be nice and polite. You will need to avoid places that are infamous. Aggressive behaviour is always around night clubs and bars so even if you go there try not to go into a fight by provoking. Another thing you will need is plane luck and that is not up to you but it is not of the most importance. India as any other country has violence and if you find it you will have problems if not you will have a good time. I heard good things about people from India.

I think every place in the world is safe to travel to by yourself if you learn how to be polite and mind your business. In general, bad people do not want to get in trouble if they do not have a reason. So, if you are alone in the night and see a potentially dangerous group, just walk straight by while looking forward and not saying a word. If they stop you or say something, act politely and say that you do not want to get in any trouble and you have a high chance of getting out without a scratch.
