What opinion of India/Indians do foreigners hold?

When I used to live back in New York in 2017, most people I met used to look towards Indians quite favorably. But not sure if this has changes since I returned.

Share first hand experiences abroad or people from abroad visiting India only please.. Want to seriously learn more about our perception as India and Indians. Not looking for a political debate.

I would say that depends more on the particular person who visited, than India itself. India is very diverse and offers all kinds of different experiences.

But of all the foreigners that I have talked to who have visited India, some loved it, some found it okay and similar to any other developing country, and some absolutely hated it. So the experience reflects more of the tastes of the individual than the place - to each their own. πŸ˜„

Well that really depends on the area where that foreigner person has been. But in general they are careful in Delhi but care free in Himachal. It's really hard to have one POV of India. But yeah we are safe & better than most.

Brutal - but he’s not lying, India sucks for travellers

Overpriced hotels, just straight up bad infra - honestly a vacation to Vietnam/Thailand is not very expensive compared to a good vacation to Goa now
