I commend you for visiting India and that too, alone? Real badassery right there! I also apologise for the times people made you uncomfortable here and for those monkeys being dicks to you. Our country has been tortured from time to time by invaders for centuries and it takes time for the collective wounds to heal. It's also very difficult managing more than a billion people without enough resources but we're trying. That is the one thing you'll find in most Indians, the will to not give up however bad the circumstances be. I'm sure you must have met with those people as well on your visit.
From your pictures, it seems like you've been in the Northern part of the country. Uttar Pradesh, Delhi, Uttarakhand? There's a huge community of steemit users there who I'm sure would like to meet you and help you in case of any problem. I live in the Southern part of the country and you're welcome to hang out if you find yourself in Bangalore anytime.
Again, it's very brave of you to take this journey alone. I cannot emphasise enough how important it is for people to learn and know the real India as opposed to that portrayed in the Bollywood movies and you're doing a damn good job at that. Thank you. I'm resteemig this, for everyone needs to read it.

Thank you so much for your thoughts and comment. The monkeys aren't all dicks, but a couple of my friends had to get the rabies shots after getting bit, so it's better being safe than sorry! I completely understand; India has had a rough history, but I do admire your country's resilience. And I have seen such kindness in India. I actually would very much like to be back in India sometime soon, so it means a lot! Thanks again for stopping by. (:
