My one time in India - a short business side trip, now 20+ years ago - showed me nothing but very polite & tolerant people. Perhaps it was because I was an outsider there on business, perhaps it was because times have changed. I think it is both. Generally, the poorer sections of the society in India are polite and nice. And if you are a white person, you would notice that even the elite, or at least an overwhelming majority of them, suck up to you. And things have changed too. It is more than 50 years since the British left, and the system of "equality before law and justice for all" that they had left behind, is being rapidly eroded away and the region is descending back into the depths of India's ancient feudal system where no rules applied to the powerful.
