Regional political parties dominate - DMK/AIADMK in Tamil Nadu, Shiv Sena in Maharashtra, TMC in Bengal. National politics play out differently in each state.
Crime rates differ dramatically by state - Kerala and Northeastern states generally safer; some northern cities have higher crime. Research before visiting.
Seasonal routes open temporarily - Manali-Leh road, Rohtang Pass, and some Himalayan routes only operate June-September. Plan around these windows.

Service attitudes vary regionally - Southern hospitality tends toward formal politeness; Punjabi service is warm but casual; Bengali service is intellectual.
