I think it is fine to tour india... but look at the governments warning about pakistan to tourists.
"British citizens should only venture outside for a few minutes at a time"

mate the ones in india are not common. However pakistan it is common occurence to have bomb blasts. pakistan is very unpredictable. and with pakistan being around the area of afganistan, iraq and iran. it is open to the bomb blasts. and seeing Australia has troops there they would be a prime target for the taliban etc. however india is further away and not so susceptible to this. just ask yourself 'would you tour pakistan'.

[Howzat]

I wouldnt! KP has basically already ruled himself out of going to pakistan

[stevie]

Nah i wouldn't go to Pakistan as a tourist because of all the political stuff going on and the bombing's etc, but i would go as a cricketer if the security reports found it to be safe.

I'd happily visit both nations, no problem. I'm sure when you're out there it really isn't that dangerous.

the press and media slags off pakistan a bit too much
