It is nothing more than just another liberal brainfart along the line of "the best-looking *Mr. Irish*
has been voted as a Nigerian who immigrated to Ireland 6 months ago".
India is the top destination of nothing but uncurable Superbug (read it up) and the UN food aid, let's be honest.
On travel, nothing escapes the words of backpackers who travel around the world enduring all conditions.
It is a well-known fact amongst worldwide backpacker communities that the ultimate test for a tight budget tourist is "how to survive India". This is due to India's utterly ****** urban conditions outside some handful of 5* hotels, that include food, infrastructure, environment (open sawage, forever piled up gabage , animal s***, heavy polutions, and foul smells, ect ), drinking water condition, beggars everywhere, and incessant noises out of all kinds of traffic immaginable, alongside the mass doing their "things" along streets day and night... All these persistantly assault 5 senses of a foreign visitor, if he/she is still alive at a time.
Non-urban areas especially some beach resorts could be slightly better, yet one has to dodge human s*** along the beach and be quite conservative to have s dip in that water - since you never can be sure if there are several open sawages and human waste going directly into it just 500-metre upstream ...
With all these fears and concerns in minds, most backpackers never have a will to visit India, for those who did some of them quitted in the middle due to sudden ill or other unbearable conditions.
The travelers to India are normally 5-star-hotel business bunch and retired tour groups who've seldom ventured more than 200 yards into "the wild" outside their hotel compound/resort.
The true "tales" of India, however, are only left to be told by a tiny group of the toughest backpackers who have fortunately survived India travel alive. A friend of mine is one of those. He is known as a tough guy who is afraid of nothing, open-minded to all and sundry, eats & drinks anything - moves or not, and can wear the same unwashed clothes for months and endure weeks without a shower... nasty things that he learned during his training in special forces. Whenever asked about his India travel experiences, his usually changed his tone all of a sudden "ah, India? Frankly I don't wish my worst enermy that", shaking his head.
To vote India as world's top destination for travel is the same as to vote that Haiti having the world's top skyline. Pathetic & hilarous!
