Q:
Why are you wailing for entrance fee discrimination (?) at SJM? How much do you pay for Tower of London? If you have ever visited it, know for sure. Its £26.80 =2435.25. Actually Indians are stupid crooks. They don't have positive intelligence. Solution lies in charging at par for all in visitors' currency. Unit currency for all almost has same buying power. One cup of tea in India in street side stalls costs ₹ 3-5, where as it costs £3-5 for kitchen window stalls in UK. SJM must make the entry fee like ₹20, £20, $20, DM20, €20 for stopping heart burning and cosequent wailing. Except British Museum, all charge hefty entrance fee, be it Louvre, Hermitage (Эрмитаж) $ 17.95 , Tritiakov Gallery, National Art Gallery, Madame Tussauds, Eiffel Tower (€25=₹2031.06). Display of insanity is not a good idea. Once upon a time life in the planet after WWII became as lovely as flower, visas were free and easy to obtain in single day, most Museums were charging almost nil, allowed camera or even bags inside without any restriction, no security body search. Except for few exhibits like Picasso's painting at National art gallery, one could snap with flash gun even. Subsequently, stupids made the human civilisation slide to worst. Entrance fee hike, security checks including frisking (strip searching in the offing), deposit of everything have become nuisance as the downgradation of human civilization continues. Every body is reponsible for it, people not knowing how to live life worth living.

A:
Firstly, i disagree with disrespecting any nationality's citizens, Secondly, Europe and US are totally different from India, the difference in currency, in monuments, in it's citizens is clearly visible. I believe that comparison does not exists here. The fee is nominal according to me for everyone. This fee would in turn contribute to the comfort of the tourists itself. The disparity in fee is due to the disparity in currency. 1$ = 71.38 Indian Rupee. Salarjung museum clearly displays the fee for Indians and the Fee for Foreigners. A particular country has not been named, it is viable for any tourist and there are many countries and their currencies. Thirdly, security is a must in every monument in India for the preservation of our rich heritage delicacies and for the protection of anyone who is visiting that place. To avoid any attacks and any anti activities, security checks are a must. If security would have been nil, our cultural and heritage would had been destroyed and we would not had been able to preserve them. As Indians we welcome our guests and believe it as our duty to protect them.
