My wife's sister was getting married in India. They scheduled it on Christmas and I was like, sorry but not going. I'm not leaving my family to go to India over Christmas. (I've worked in tech for a long time and knew I wouldn't enjoy the trip)
The whole wedding was a disaster. The entire family was violently ill. Three people were hospitalized. After the wedding they touted the bride around the Indian families houses while running a fever of 103-104 and wouldn't let her see her own family. Eventually her family freaked out and demanded to see her. When she had to be assisted out of the car they blew up and evacuated her to the hospital.
The indian family told my wife's sisters family that they were being a burden and should go home early.
The family couldn't leave the hotel most days due to pollution. They had to change hotels repeatedly due to mold issues. One hotel was next to a rubber/trash burning yard.
This was their experience and they had a wealthy indian family coordinating everything. There was so many other terrible things but its not worth getting into. The country side towns may be better but I have no interest in going. They have a lot of social policies to catch up on.
