A viral video portraying alleged harassment of female tourists by Indian men has taken the internet by storm, painting a dark picture of an India which makes tourists uncomfortable.
The video shows multiple men leering at a group of white female tourists, believed to be from Azerbaijan, as the tourists posed for a photo in front of the iconic Mumbai Taj Hotel. The most unnerving part of the video is that the men are gathered around a few feet away from the female tourists and are unbothered by the camera panning towards them.

The video shows the men not just staring at them but also taking their photographs, raising significant concerns about public safety of tourists, especially at a time when India is eyeing global recognition as an ideal tourist destination.
First shared by Daily Turkic on X, the video was captioned, "Indian men look at Azerbaijani women like they’ve never seen a human."
The post has attracted severe backlash from all quarters with many users condemning the behaviour as inappropriate, while others criticized societal attitudes toward fair-skinned foreign women.
