One major reason I'd not want to go to India is that there seems to be a significant crowd of Nationalists that would rather deny any issues than face and fix them, and can be quite hostile to anyone that points then out. I don't really care for the "apes" commentary as that seems racist AF, but if tourism is a goal then cleaning up regressive bullshit like caste and gender discrimination (and not conducting assassinations on foreign soil then getting hostile when called on it) would be a good start.
Why would you go to another country and talk about their politics with the locals? Don't point out issues with a country you are a guest in to nationalists.
Because human rights don't stop being important when you cross a border.
Mhmm. Enjoy your vacation arguing with strangers...
Why does it have to be an outside complaining? I've seen an Indian actress complain about sexism and was told to "shut up. You're making us look bad".
