Over the past seven years, the Capital City of Karnataka, Bangalore, has witnessed a dramatic rise in fear of touch among women (Nair, 2017). Though Bangalore is considered a prudent city for women, women still fear touch in social gatherings, streets, and public conveyance. The city has witnessed molestations, verbal abuse, groping, grabbing, and inappropriate touch. In 2017, women in MG Road (Bangalore) confronted fear of touch during New Year's Eve celebrations, but no official complaints were received, as per the BBC reports. It has been observed that women also have the worst touch experiences in the Church Streets, Brigade Road, MG Roads, pubs, and conveyances of Bangalore. Such adverse experiences often lead to a lasting impact on the memories of a woman and usually follow the footprint of a tragic ending. The motivation behind the research is to awaken the dwellers of Bangalore about the rising crimes against women. The study also motivated me to map the areas of Bangalore where the fear of touch is frequently encountered.
Furthermore, I am curious to understand how an inappropriate touch leaves a lasting impact on the memories of women residing in a metropolis like Bangalore. This research paper is a quantitative study based on women's touch experiences in Bangalore. The methods for conducting the interviews are based on questionnaires, surveys, and interviews. The research
also aims to provide a comparative analysis of fear of touch in Church streets and Pubs based in Bangalore. The research is conducive to apprehending the social issues and atrocities encountered by women and sheds light on the increasing fear of touch confronted by women in Bangalore, Karnataka.
