Indians and Dogs Are Not Allowed.
They dont hang this board outside establishments in India these days. But there are hundreds of legal establishments across India that will deny me entry just because Im Indian (while dogs of the right breed are allowed).
For example, Airlines Hotel on Madras Bank Road, Bangalore, is one such establishment. They are partial to foreigners and Indians holding a western passport.
A few years back, I made the mistake of visiting a friend from Australia who was staying there. I got a taste how good old Tata would have felt when he went with his friends to the Majestic Hotel in Mumbai, a century back.
Unfortunately, things havent changed much in some parts of Mumbai. You will find many establishments that discrminate in the Colaba area of Mumbai. If you are an Indian, these places will always claim to be full.
I once managed to stay in a place that claimed to full, during the slack season, in Kodaikanal. Only because I was travelling with a foreigner.We were the only guests staying with them, that day.
It is easy to locate these establishments.
Take a Lonely Planet India guide. Select the most popular backpackers accommodation in any Indian town or tourist location. Try renting a room for a night.
In 90% of these establishments, you will be denied entry. And not so politely.
