Indians travelling with foreigners to monuments/attractions

Wonder where OCI's are gonna fit in all this - I'll soon find out.

I think I've always been charged resident Indian citizen prices in the past but I've taken the attitude that I'm not going to sweat it if they charge foreigner prices - its a personal choice.

This is the same in Brazil and Argentina for the national parks there. The difference is not as high as it is in India (5 Rs vs a 1000), but its still there.

I agree that the subjectivity of cost is not there as everyone is required to show a document (cedula) to prove nationality, but that won't happen in India as someone has pointed out earlier. Not everyone has identification.

I didn't mind paying the extra for being 'un extranjero' because 'es lo que hay' (loosely translated to sab chalta hai / that's the way it is)
