On my first trip to India I seemed to get as many warnings as good wishes. For example one person said to me that “there are terrorists there that chop off people’s heads” alluding to a single event that happened to a backpacker in Kashmir back in 1995. It’s like the old expression “if you shit your pants once .. that’s all anybody will remember “- so it goes with Ma India.
An older fellow said to me “don’t become a vegetarian now!” half jokingly but seemingly still wary and unsure of the Hari Krishna movement and its association with India. Delhi Belli, Cockroaches you name it people have developed phobias and slight negative-isms about the place.
