We really have got it so easy here and sometimes it’s incomprehensible to understand why people in much poorer country do what they do. But if we were born into that kind of system then I’m guessing we would do the same.
It's actually Nepal, but I get your drift. You are right to say that there are many fakes in India because of the poverty. However, it is also the most spiritual place on earth, IMHO, with people of great realisation, where miracles do happen!!
