No truer words.
I, too have been to India a few times, the first time we were one of two ships that puled into the Port of Mumbai (then Bombay) or the first USN visit in nearly 20 years.
We were treated extraordinarily well.
The hard part is seeing poverty on a level that is at first shocking and then numbing. While I loved my time in India (the people are great, the food extraordinary and the countryside welcoming) you need to prepare yourself for some disturbing visuals.
I have no experience in the Northern part of India...the farthest north I got from Mumbai was the Purna Wildlife Sanctuary.
