A tourist asked why foreigners pay more at Dilli Haat in India.

People online disagreed with that concern.
Some said prices can be different because visitors may have different incomes.
One person compared this with Indian students paying higher fees in Western countries.
Another person said many Indians have less extra money than Europeans.
