c) Visited India last during the 80's
I can go ahead and say, why do people love the bay area when Oakland, one of the most dangerous cities in the world is based there or why do people love New York City when Harlem and the Bronx are located there - The answer is that, smart people stay away from dangerous and undesirable places; moreover, most people who choose to venture into such locations go there with the intention of making a difference i.e. bettering the lives of people living over there.
India is a fantastic country, rife with both heritage as well as with western culture. We have come a long way since the proliferation of multinational companies that has given rise to a workforce pretty rife with people having a modern outlook that , for the most part, is pretty compatible with most western cultures, especially those that speak English. Yes, we do have many cities that are still very traditional and not fully aware or accepting of western practices but metropllitan cities such as New Delhi, Bombay etc. have come a long way over the past decade.
Granted our infrastructure isn't as modernized as say the US or most European countries but most people today are well aware of that and don't consider the same to be a deal breaker when picking a country to travel too.
Plus we have awesome food, hot women (New Delhi is having it's own slutwalk next month before you say Indian women are too conservative and don't put out) and creme de la creme drugs. Basically, India has something of interest for everyone - be it hippies, touristy folk, businessmen etc.
I could go on citing more examples to prove your point wrong but this is the COR and no one will read it 
Every country in the world has it's negative's but you research them so that you stay away from them.
