we often see and hear people saying that India is “so different from anywhere else” and that it is like “another planet” or “there is no other country like it.” This comes from travelers regardless of whether they love the country or hate it, and also from those who had traveled widely before arriving in India. I have rarely seen Western travelers describing countries in Latin America, Africa, Middle East, Southeast Asia, or even other South Asian countries such as Nepal or Sri Lanka described as “another planet.” What are some concrete examples in India that people find “so different” from even other non-Western countries.
