Yup, that was the word. I wasn’t certain whether it was the prime minister or president. I would have answered otherwise .

I think me and my friends were too touristy with backpacks, bandanas and confused sunburnt faces so even though all girls were wearing desi clothes (and since we were all Lahoris so no non-desi accents either) we kind of pinged on their radar. There was also a large group of Iranis that went everywhere we did and some of them could have been confused for Indian so the authorities were being extra cautious after dealing with them.

Maine aap ko pehle kahin Dekha hai? To be honest not sure which one it’s used more often for but id give both options just in case.
Ahh I see but still I’m sure there are tourists from all over India who come backpacking but I guess if they’re assumed to be foreign they don’t get away. Where they can get extra they go for it. Should have given you guys a discount being from neighbouring country.
Those Iranis they have you away with their Farsi. I’m sure they followed u so they could get that discounted price
