Meh, it’s not a huge deal. People mostly overstate the differences and to an untrained eyes they’re not even obvious. I failed the litmus test in India itself but it makes sense a person can spot someone different in the middle of the majority. I was hoping the similarities would get me through not having to pay tourist prices.. Not a chance Even the Saarc prices are not cheap. Where are you from was the first question I got asked especially if I spoke in urdu.

yaar seriously as a non resident indian I’m meant to pay full price but our family never does. You just say you’re from another part of India so no one raises doubts. I’d have home for Lucknow if they’d asked Urdu speaking. Should have worked. even our Iranian family friend with Korean wife faked being indian and he passed. I’d have helped with this advice earlier because they so tend to rip off tourists .jumpyb from Lahore has been to India and he paid local prices.
