in one of my favourite resorts in spain there's a lovely beach-side small-mall with some great fooderies and places to chill out. Unfortunately there's 3 'electrical' shops with rude indians selling 'sonay' and 'panosanic' type electronics & the rude fucks chase you around and literally physically try to pull you into their shops. So rude and irritating, I feel sorry for the bars there because they must lose so much potential business from these slimy fucks.

There's a slight (read BIG) difference between visiting a (developing) nation as a tourist vs. actually living there - I've visited Kenya and trust me , the holiday was possibly the most luxurious I have ever been on - the amenities that we , as tourists, experienced were a far cry from all the poverty, civil unrest etc. that we hear about in the news and from Bono.
Look up places such as Andaman Islands , Lakshwadeep Islands , Kerala etc. Regarding Jaipur - along with the sewers, the city is also home to the most luxurious and expensive hotels in the world, but of course they never tell you about that. |
Yeah, I also noticed a slight difference in cost to visit things too depending on your citizenship status 
That open sewer was actually in a district of Mumbai, I didn't see any in Jaipur per se. We stayed at hotels in a few places (Ranthambore, Agra, which were gorgeous), but most of the time were staying in peoples' houses. Home-cooked Indian food was SO AWESOME.
Actually my favourite thing was visiting Jaipur Foot. I've never seen an organisation that does so much good in the world. http://www.jaipurfoot.org/
And that contrast between the high class amenities and abject poverty is prevalent in heaps of places man. Try going to Pakistan. Most of it seemed fairly basic but amongst all that were these flash hotels (Pearl Continental).

Westerners love India? I never get the impression that westerners love India. Perhaps it's more prevalent in Europe?
At least in the US, the "Asian nation everyone loves" award goes to Japan. |
In Britain at least. Every British person I've known who's embarked on a "world tour" always makes India a top choice. Why I have no fucking clue. They could pass through Central Asia (the ex-Soviet union Stan countries) countries and experience far more interesting places without anywhere near the level of hassle, overcrowding, poverty, filth and cultural alienation. In every street corner in the UK there seems to be an "Indian Restaurant", and I've heard of celebrities embracing Hinduism, such as George Harrison and Russell Brand. Seriously, what the fuck are they thinking?
Hindu "art" and architecture is also garish and ugly. "Ganesha" is fucking repulsive. I'd rather worship a dead woodlouse than that mutated piece of shit.
