While 'poor and cheap' are generalizations let's give him a pat on the back for not using the words 'filthy' or 'shithole'.
These are the generalizations I heard most while planning my trip.
India is a shithole!
India is Filthy!
The really funny thing is that poor, cheap, filthy, and shithole all apply to most of the places I visited.
I try not make these generalizations when speaking about my trip; however, I don't think that one can claim the following statement is inaccurate:
'When visiting India you will see EXTREME cases of poverty and it is a RELATIVELY cheap country to travel through.'
I don't think the original person was all that ignorant, just lazy in his/her summation saying it was 'cheap and poor'.
What does the lonely planet say?
