However, one thing to remember, you are probably among the upper levels of Indian society since you can afford to travel to Europe many times. For many Indians who are struggling economically, poverty is a harsh reality. However, even the poorest people in India still are hospitable, they make others feel welcome, etc. And it's great to see progress being made - the middle class keeps growing and many Indians who went abroad to places like the US and Europe are now going back home to live and work because there is more opportunity now in India.
