the reason is the taxi drivers always ask for a tip in forign currancy. & the forign r themselves to be blamed for this. moreover i think in 2 days world everybody is keen in white skin as they c them on Tv & internet. so they take everybody (foreign Females as may be one of them.
& the most imp. factor is how they dress up. it's quiet normal in their native country but not here. so dressing most of times tempt them & they misbhave.

Why would YOU lodge a complaint and not your date? He can call an old man a jerk but not make a complaint if necessary ? The reason the Taxi driver wanted to hold the bag was because people run off without paying quite often, especially in the City, where they can go inside the building and just disappear. Your date should have told the driver he was short a little bit of money and that he would leave his bags in the car(as collateral) until he comes back with the rest of the fare.

You are wrong. Except for isolated incidents, Indian taxi drivers are most respectful to foreigners. After all they also expect some extra tips, which is no so unnatural.

You have answered your question in the sub-text. Yes, indeed it is greed for money, illiteracy, lack of proper upbringing and no fear of law that makes them misbehave. And they misbehave equally badly with Indians also. Only few of them are law-abiding & respectful to the tourists.

First and for most the tourist industry is there to exploit tourists. In their country you are the ignorant one.

This is our problem also , when we go out of the country.
In fact they do so because they are not well literate.
