Guwahati Post Malone Episode Raises Big Question: Are Concerts in India Safe for Women?
Many people thought that the recent Post Malone show in Guwahati would be a historic moment for live music in India. Instead, it sparked a tough conversation about how safe women are at concerts in India. A British travel vlogger shared a video that has since gone viral, saying that she and her friend were touched without permission soon after they got to the crowded place. What was supposed to be a night of music and fun quickly became an awkward and upsetting time.
What Went Down at the Guwahati Concert
The influencer said that the excitement of seeing Post Malone live went away in a few minutes. She said that the crowd near the stage was very thick, and both women were touched inappropriately before they could get settled. They felt unsafe, so they moved away from the main crowd and stood near the vendor section to get some comfort and room. She said that the situation made them so nervous that they thought about leaving, even though the event was big and well-known.
Why This Event Makes a Bigger Question
Her comment, which said that shows in India aren’t safe for women, caused a lot of reaction on social media. At concerts, fairs, and public events, a lot of Indian women said the same thing. The Guwahati incident has made people talk more about poor crowd control, the lack of female security staff, and the lack of quick reporting systems at big events. The conversation shows that India’s music culture is growing quickly, but the safety infrastructure isn’t growing as quickly.
The police respond, but they are waiting for a formal complaint
The Guwahati Police said they knew about the claims and were looking into it soon after the video went popular. But the influencer hadn’t made a formal complaint yet. Officials said that it is hard to do something without a FIR, but they promised the public that such events are taken seriously. The planners have mostly stayed quiet, which has made people more angry.
A Balanced View: The city also got a compliment from her
The blogger said that her experience shouldn’t be seen as a reflection of Guwahati or its people, which is interesting. She said that a lot of people helped and were kind during the hard time. She said she was worried about a common problem that women face in busy public places, not the city’s character.
A Wake-Up Call for India’s Concert Scene
The event planning has been criticised again after the incident. People are asking for stronger crowd barriers, more female guards, safer entry and exit points, and zero-tolerance rules for harassment. As India hosts more big shows and international artists, keeping women safe must be a top concern. The Guwahati episode shows that when safety is at risk, entertainment loses its value.
