So, what's wrong with Kurukshetra?

I went to Kurukshetra, India in December. All Indians I spoke with expressed disbelief that I would go there.

I thought it was a lovely town. Peaceful, because without many tourists there were not so many touts as in some towns in India.

There are not many tourist attractions there, but it was still interesting because everyplace in India is exotic for a European such as myself.

I asked one Indian guy why exactly he thinks it is a bad place to go to. He said, the people there are not nice. I told him they had been nice and friendly to me, my boyfriend and daugher while we were there. He said, that is just because it was my first visit to the town. He said, the people there dont have a brain. I dont really understand this reasoning because there were quite a few people there who spoke well in English which indicates to me that they have a certain standard of education.

So, anybody got anything further to add, as to why Indians dont like Kurukshetra? Reply to this

I've been to Kurukshetra a couple of times but I've never met anyone who didn't approve of my travels there. Kurukshetra is the location of the events in the Bhagavad Gita so is quite a revered destination.

Perhaps your feedback had more to do with racial/ethnic differences than the location alone? Reply to this
