Took a flight to Mumbai with wife and daughter. Was stopped at the entrance with a hand poked right at the chest by a policeman. After checking all our details he let us in. Another policeman with an AK-47 rifle stopped us and again checked our details. Took three steps and a man rudely said "Where are you going?" he was the bloke who was x-raying luggage.
Got the x-ray done. At the check-in counter there was no eye-contact no greeting and the girl could not understand english. Done. Went to security, another turbaned soldier in combat gear and rifle shouted and said each person hold their boarding card individually. A policewoman during security check told my wife asked my wife whose daughter is this as there is little resemblence and she is fairer than the mother. Understandable since I am of european origin and my wife is Indian. Then had to walk in the heat across the taramac to board the plane and almost got run over by a tractor!
