India is generally safe for foreign tourists. Although crimes may be reported in the country, intense criminality is quite unheard of. It is to be noted that not all places in India are unsafe – there are safe places too. Foreigners are especially safe while petty thefts like pickpocketing or bag-snatching is quite common at touristic areas. There may have been reports in the past of bad incidents, but such incidents happen everywhere else in the world. It doesn’t mean that the entire country is indulged in such criminal activities. Yes, you should take care and extra precaution while traveling. Keep all your valuables with you at all times or leave them in your hotel safe and don’t ever expose a large sum of money when purchasing at roadside shops.
