Interesting point about the special "Indian passport holder" fare.

Given that the middle class in India comprises about 80 million people (i.e. more than the entire population of the UK), one wonders whether anyone wishing to avail of this fare is subjected to a means test........

Sadly, positive discrimination is well and alive all over Asia.....withness, for instance, the two-tier pricing for admission to tourist spots (including the Royal Palace) in Thailand.
