The first article claims we do "Athithi Devo Bhava" for domestic tourists. But that is not true. If Scarlett was an Indian, she still would have suffered the same fate. There is, frankly, no Athithi Devo Bhava, only a lot of hypocrisy. The jargon applies only if the guests subscribe to similar thoughts as the hosts. And as history and current news shows us, we are highly intolerant people. divya
