Food safety: Which street food is safe, which water sources are drinkable, which restaurants meet basic hygiene standards.

Social norms: Appropriate clothing in different regions, how to politely decline aggressive vendors, understanding chai culture and when it's rude to refuse.

The creator's question—"Would you actually use something like this, or is Google/Reddit enough?"—gets at a real issue. Most India travel guides are written by outsiders who visited for a few weeks. A resource from someone who "grew up here" could provide insider knowledge that's otherwise impossible to access.

Responses from travelers highlighted specific pain points:

• The chaos of arriving at Delhi or Mumbai airport without local currency or SIM card • Confusion about which festival or holiday might affect transportation or closures • Difficulty understanding which areas are safe for solo female travelers • The overwhelming number of scams targeting tourists • Logistics of long-distance train travel and booking strategies

A local-perspective resource could transform how tourists navigate one of the world's most complex travel destinations. The gap between "what locals know" and "what tourists can figure out" is rarely larger than in India.

The creator's approach—asking travelers directly about confusion points rather than assuming what they need—suggests the resource could actually address real problems rather than theoretical ones.

For India tourism, this represents a potential shift: rather than simplifying India for tourists, help tourists understand India as it actually is. That's a more respectful and ultimately more useful approach.
