Should I visit India? Will it help me become more cultured and/or gain some global perspective? How can I become more enlightened about the privilege I live with?

Statement is still true without the word "white"
According to many Blind folks, India has the best education and US education sucks big time. So it is a no brainer - visit the schools and learn from them.
Lol, the average American is WAY better educated than the average Indian. The average Indian in barely even literate.
It's a numbers game and "average" really doesn't matter. I don't know about India but the top 1% of the most recent graduating engineers in China is more people than all engineering graduates in the US.
you don't have to start so big. try volunteering at your local shelters or nearby hospitals. i learned a lot about life and perspective by talking to people who don't have much and listening to their life stories. you'll be so surprised to hear about people who lost their jobs, who left their home countries and even their families to start a new life... everyone has an amazing story and different take on life, you just have to look beyond your immediate surroundings.
Why India? Why not Middle East or Latin America (Guatemala/HondurasVenezuela etc?)
He wants to come home alive.
