As someone who grew up in India but lives in the US, the situation is pretty comparable. US has a gun violence problem but only if you are at the wrong place at the wrong time. Or you are part of a gang. Otherwise you can spend years in the US without even hearing a gunshot or seeing a gun in real life.

Murders, Rapes, kidnappings are the same in India. Unless you are at the wrong place at the wrong time or part of a targeted group (not necessarily gangs), you may not even know these happen. Traffic accidents are more common (and lack of a good emergency response system - like EMTs in the US, make it worse). Perry crimes of opportunity are everywhere. Like pickpockets or scamming people with higher prices/fake goods. But this is relatively easy to look for and avoid.
