    With the exception of a select few historical places, no other place should charge you more.

    Do you know why this is? My first thought would be to make crowded historical places more accessible to Indians by increasing the cost of admission for tourists.

      Yes, it is supposed to be a discount on the citizens, not the other way around.

      The government has to take those loses, which they then make up from other avenues, like accomodations, hotels, etc, since now, those places are now accessible for people from all sections of society, meaning more profit for them. It also helps the local economy and provides jobs.

      Some places also have a VIP ticket for rich Indians and tourist, where they get faster access to the place they’re visiting.
