Filthy country full of beggars and you're bound to get the runs.
I suggest you visit a civilised country.

That and Mahabalipuram on the east coast.
The best two words in Bangalore and across South India are 'Meals Ready', written on the boards outside the thali restaurants: unlimited veggie curry for little more than a few pence...
Only been to Delhi, Agra, Gurgaon i'm afraid. Don't look beggars in the eye and do not allow organised trips to stop off at rug makers or the like, they will make it tough for you to leave without buying anything. Amazing country though
This, this and this. Although, I'm not sure whats left of Mahabalipuram after the tsunami, from what I heard from people I know out there it got totalled
'tis true that I was there before the tsunami. From what I heard the beach restaurants got wiped out, but have since been restored/replaced. The monuments all survived intact though. And a quick look on Tripadvisor seems to indicate the guesthouse I stayed in was still/back in business as of 2013. I doubt if you visited now that you'd realise anything bad had happened.
I'd suggest if you have nothing constructive to say, say nothing at all.

Biggest tip I can give anyone is by reflective sunglasses - that way the beggars can't see your eyes. I went and worked with the YMCA Boy's Town orphanage in Chennai a few years ago - the best thing I remember was playing cricket against a bunch of 8 year olds, and them bowling at us like Mitchell Johnson on speed. Their passion for cricket was blinding!!! Also got to play volleyball against the Indian Mens Volleyball team - we beat them quite comfortably from what I remember
