Paying higher prices than the locals pay is just part of being a tourist, especially for a lower income country. Tourists are bringing cash into the tourist sector of the local economy. If you can't afford to pay what is a pittance to an outside tourist, maybe travel isn't for you.

The sexual harassment I can sympathize with more. That's not just cool. Unfortunately, though, it's far from unique to India.
