its funny, but being an indian whose been brought up abroad, I can tell u this... most of the general population of India havent seen blondes or caucasians,its just the way the indian demographic is...all dark skinned or brown/wheatish skinned people,so for them seeing a fair skinned person is well sort of an experience,and ofcourse the ppl u mentioned like auto drivers, chaiwalla, guides they mostly do it for incentives ($$$$)
its the same thing in china, u go there and people look diff. @ u cuz of skin color white/brown/black//ppl with eyelashes!! its not exactly racism, its just an experience for them.......
P.S. what do u guys think will ku klux klan feel like when they read this??? LOL (I dont know much about kkk)
