Often, when foreigners visit India, they claim they were overcharged for food, transportation, rent, and other goods simply because they do not belong to the country. But one foreign woman shared a different side of such an experience that does not get talked about enough. Rather than being overcharged by locals, she said that she often found herself being charged less or offered free food.
In an Instagram video, Jane spoke about her experiences as a foreigner in India and acknowledged the common perception that tourists are sometimes overcharged. “A lot of people think that, you know, in India, you get scammed all the time, you get overcharged, and I do think there’s an element of truth to that,” she said. “But I want to talk about how many times as a foreigner in India, you will get undercharged.”
