Wait, everyone gets frisked at Indian malls? Was certainly not my experience 20 years ago.

  At least happens here in Delhi. I can't remember if it happened before the 26th November 2008 Mumbai terror attacks, but that might have been the instigating factor.

  You're right it wasn't true back then. I don't live in India anymore, but I believe a lot of security measures (and security theater) were implemented after the 2008 terrorist attacks in Mumbai: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2008_Mumbai_attacks https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2008_Mumbai_attacks.

  Not in South India, in any of the cities I've been to. There was a brief period (possibly after the 2008 attacks that the others mention) when that was the case, but that didn't last long.
