I visited in 2018. Fun trip. Lots of rain. Horrible drainage. Traffic was so bad that I ended up walking a half mile in knee-high water in the rain back to my hotel because the taxi wasn’t moving.
Oh, and I got a taste of what it feels like to be a minority. People not wanting to serve me or charging me more for services. My hotel tried to charge me for my room that my work had already paid for. Once they saw I was white, they asked for more money. I think everyone needs to experience this so they know what people have to deal with literally every day of their lives.
Oh, my favorite part was how bad the power lines were tangled up.
This is silly. “White” Europeans are a global minority, and certainly are in India! If you can afford to travel to India as a tourist, you certainly have wealth privilege - is this what you mean?

Sadly its 100 % true
Being a tourist doesn’t make you a minority. Being singled out for being white doesn’t mean you don’t have white privilege.
