I dont agree to most of ur points. As far as tourism is concerned, India has every right to charge it's foreign tourists as we do have a rich heritage to show off, and even these buggers charge heavily in their countries though sometimes it isnt worth at all. Also having lived in France over a yr, I can say that any day India is better. At least the babus try n speak in whatever lil' English they know and make you comfortable and not act arrogantly like the French govt. officials and deny speaking in eng.
