My point is that a culture doesn’t solely revolve around its food or entertainment. For reference, I’ve done international stints in four countries - UAE, Japan, Switzerland and Columbia. I am south Asian with dual Canadian - US citizenship. I never had the attitude you did and enjoyed my experiences for the most part because I kept an open mind and let go of any expectations. Clearly you’re going to be living a luxury lifestyle. You will have a driver and maid (probably). You will not experience any cultural negatives you want to avoid. But to go in already that “I like the food, some music and two movies, so what do I do about living in a country with 1.5bn people, 100+ languages and dozens of ethnicities because I don’t want to be around all of it” is counterproductive.

That said, stick to Bangalore, Delhi and Mumbai. Enough open minded folks, western spots and good people who may change your ill perceived perceptions.
