But are our mothers too expected to come in suits and shoes when visiting the 5 star hotels in India. I think the hotel went too far.

Also people like me who want to arrive at a hotel lobby on a motorbike would be asked to park it and come whereas car owners can drive up in style. If a white guy goes to a five star hotel wearing rags and looking like a homeless guy I'm sure hotel owners in India would not let them in. I have seen atleast a few such in US . Hotels have right of admission reserved - wear suit and tie if you are Indian and if Western wave your passport. Did you know that rich countries do not need visa from citizens of each other - called class A countries - to visit each other's nations. Indian embassy in DC makes Americans run from pillar to post to give visa - as I heard from a white friend of mine.

It goes without saying that Indians are one of the most racist people in the world and we haven't got over the subservient attitudes to the fair skin.

Most schools in India will not allow students to come to school in dhoti kurta or even in many private companies including top newspapers like Assam Tribune - employees cannot wear dhoti kurta or any Indian outfit.
