RE: A visit to MUGHAL EMPEROR HUMAYUN'S GRAVE :

in #travel7 years ago

The tomb looks really cool, would like to visit it someday. But why is the entrance fee for foreigners so high? 10 times higher will discourage a lot of foreigners from visiting

Sort:  

@jasonshick i think that is because of the high currency difference in USD AND INR ... one USD = 63 INR....maybe thats is ehy indian government try to charge high to foreigners

I see what you're saying. I just wish people didn't base everything on the american dollar. There are lots of foreign countries besides america and their money isn't as strong. Anyways, thanks for the response

Yeah but USD is the currency king of world economy.

They are not trying to charge high from foreigners but the fact is our Indian currency is currently 64 times less than USD. So, in order to fill the gap they fixed an entry fee of 250 INR which is equal to roughly $4. So, saying that government charge 10 times from the foreigners is just an exaggeration @thatindianlady

  1. 4$ you said, i am comparing INR : 25 rupees for indians and 250 rupees for foreigners ....makes it 10 times... i am talking about INR
  2. Yeah i agree with currency thing, now here is my point, suppose i visit US , where a foreigners pays one dollar for a candy, i do not get to pay 1 rupee because of my currency differce, i pay 1 dollar
    Similarly wheneVer a foreigner visit india, if indian pays 10 rupees they should also be charged 10 rupees not as per dollars. JUST BECAUSE THERE IS A DIFFERENCE OF CURRENCY, PEOPLE SHOULD NOT BE CHARGED IN A BIASED MANNER.
  3. i love my country so there is nothing like exaggeration, those are just my views, everybody has theirs.

Though thanks for reading my article so well @cryptonet 😊😊😊

Well, you have explained way too long. My purpose was to say that you should make a good image of India, people generally take it in negative way without even thinking about the currency difference that Indian government charges 10 times higher than domestic charges.
I am sure you won't take me as wrong, I respect your views by the way :)

Yeah i understand the country image part, will take care from next time onwards. Dont worry i am going to show a rocking india here 😉😉 we will rock steemit.
