Rajasthan news is topical as this scenic state is one of the prime
tourist venues of the Indian union. A range of happenings and experiences
await the traveler interested in visiting Rajasthan.
Traveling in Rajasthan is not without risks as the recent attack on a
tourist residing in a hotel there shows. Women tourists should travel in
groups and should avoid traveling singly. In September this year, a tourist
from Britain was allegedly molested by a schoolteacher in Bundi near Kota.
In 2005, a 47-year-old German tourist was raped by an auto-rickshaw driver
and his accomplice in Jodhpur. The two were sentenced to life imprisonment
by a fast-track court within a month.
In March 2006, a 26-year-old German student was raped in Alwar by the son of
a senior police officer of Orissa cadre. The accused, B.H. Mohanty. was found
guilty and sentenced to seven years imprisonment by a fast-track
court. However,
he jumped parole in December 2006 and has been absconding since then.
Despite such incidents the arrival of foreign tourists to Rajasthan has
seen a quantum jump from 623,000 tourists in 2002 to around 1.10 million in
2009. Similarly, the arrival of domestic tourists has also leapfrogged from
7.3 million in 2000 to around 25 million tourists in 2009.
At the same time Rajasthan news is not at all depressing as a variety of
experiences await the discerning traveler. Rajasthan is rich in history and
there are many places replete with historical monuments.
