Pistols and knives......most likely more knives though. Hurts more when they slice you up. I guess it's not as bad as Mexico with the cartels, but very bad indeed in big urban areas. And poverty is so rampant that I'd never want to go back to India to live (I'd go just to visit my family). And now, don't get me wrong, a lot of the areas are "safe," but it's the cities/urban areas I'm talking about - the slums.
