sorry about not agreeing with some of the other posters, but do not discuss this with indians. I cannot emphasize this enough. even in the unlikely event that you find an indian who seems to you cool withe western ideas, you really shouldn't.

I was the head of an office of a multinational company in india for 3 years and had a large number of well educated and western oriented indians working for me, in guargaun, by the way. sexuality in india is very different from the west, and the concept of an executive that they work with, or under, being gay will confuse people. stick with not being married.

I would also suggest, and I don't know how much you have traveled in asia, that your "gadar" might not work well in India. a lot of time people in cultures that are very different might seem to exibit signs of different sexuality, this may or may not be the case, but it is very hard to tell.


the "eunich" in india is a very unusual feature - not good or bad, entirly, but very differnet from middle class life. you don't want anybody who works with you, or under you, to assosiate you with them.


on my team was actually a westerner who was gay, and after a period of time 2 of the team members, who knew him and were quite western in attitude knew about it and were fine with it, but he also wasn't in a position of authority.

good luck and enjoy your trip. make sure you eat at bukhara in the sheraton, at least once.
