It is such a shame to walk in a hotel and they raise the prices (first, the prices are not even there) of the room knowing that one is coming after a long flight. Shame on the govt. whose Indian airlines is practicing clear price discrimination as it relates to cheaper fares. The Indian Airlines basically wants hard working people like us to subsidize the criminals (posed as MPs and MLAs that accounts for at least 60-70% of the Indian political system) who fly in most airliners there. I know for a fact that common people do NOT fly in planes in India. So why should we subsidize these bribe-takers, criminals, and looters who are raping the Indian public everyday and every hour? These blood sucking parasites!

Shame shame!!!

The height of the hypocrisy stems from the fact that the politicians have the guts to visit our countries and ask us to invest in India. Why should we? If we do not get equal treatments and level playing fields, no Indian (I mean NRIs) should invest anything there.

I don't expect much from a corrupt country and a corrupt political system but don't want this to reflect upon the very generous people of India. Finally, this is not only my opinion. I have spoken with countless Indians and they try to ignore going to India due to these problems. Don't you think it is a shame?

Under the pricing policy, hotels charge their non-resident or foreign guests a dollar tariff, which is usually pegged 10-15 per cent higher than the rupee tariff applicable to their Indian guests. ......Full Story
