NEW DELHI - Outrage grew Wednesday over a series of sexual assaults that have rocked India with protests since last year after an American tourist was gang-raped and robbed Tuesday by three men while on her way back to her hotel.
"What kind of a message are we trying to send -- that we are hostile to women?" said Kavita Krishnan, secretary of the All India Progressive Women's Association, a woman's rights group. "The government has to buck up and ensure safety for female tourists."
