For foreigners (and others) looking to sport bikinis in India, tourism minister KJ Alphons has some advice. In an interview to NDTV, the minister said every country has a certain “code of conduct” that must be adhered to by foreigners, which is in tandem with the country’s culture and traditions.

Abroad, foreigners walk the streets in bikinis. When they come to India, you don’t expect foreigners to walk around in bikinis in our towns. In Goa, they do it on the beach. They don’t come to the town dressed like that. You must have a sense of understanding of the culture of the place and country that you go and behave accordingly.
