Written by an Indian journalist working for CNN, the story claims to list 10 things that are better in India than “anywhere else”. I think many global travelers will take issues with several items on the list. Also, The India Expert does not recommend that business traveler from overseas try food from street vendors or haircuts from roadside barbers. But there are many other activities that are worthy of your consideration
- Head-shaking and wrist-flicking gestures are part of an Indian’s genetic makeup
- Indian women can do the most difficult of tasks while dripping with jewelry
- Festivals: India has one every week, somewhere. Many are grand, such as Ganesh Chaturthi in Mumbai or Holi in north India. Diwali almost anywhere (tomorrow, incidentally).
Take a look at the entire list and form your own judgment.
