[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not Indian , but if you do 5 star hotels and private transportations, India has lots to offer in terms of sightseeing (Taj Mahal, Jaipur etc and food. [/quote]

Nobody disagrees with this. There is a luxurious way to do India. But it doesn't sit well with a lot of people and they don't. want. to. go. back. if they don't have to (family). What don't you understand about that? [/quote]

Oh we understand.  Now you try and understand -  the luxurious way to do India is inexpensive compared to anywhere else in the world. However, people from rich (western) countries want to do shoestring budget travel in India, making use of infrastructure that is heavily subsidized by the Indian govt for the poorest of its people.  Then they complain.  Well, why did you go to India in the first place?   The domestic market of tourism is so huge that India is not hurting for foreign travelers.

Still don't understand it?  It is like some foreigner comes to DC, goes and eats at the homeless shelter soup kitchen and then complains that the restaurant scene in  US is pathetic.   That soup kitchen is not for tourists. [/quote]

Who is doing shoestring tours of India? Nobody on here has done that. You are projecting that that is why the bad experience. Every single person on here has mentioned that they have done it the luxurious way and they don't want to go back. No way in hell would I take a train in India. No way in hell. [/quote]

I have to believe the other poster is being intentionally dense. Most travels posting were not upset with their accommodations but found the extreme poverty outside of their luxurious hotel disturbing. And it is! There are amazing things about India but seeing that level of human suffering happening around you is difficult.
