I suggest not to change your plans. Just take care of a few things.

1. Follow laws exactly. Do not do anything which may draw suspicion e.g. moving alone in night in lonely places etc.
2. Do not get into any religious arguments even if you are provoked. Concentrate on business studies.
3. Do not get into any arguments which compare between India and Pakistan. If you are provoked, just say that you came here to study.
4. If possible, try to find some people whom you may no here. That will really help you.
Once you take care of these, then you will have no problem.

hi akhl thnx very much for the replay.... 1. i will try my best, but actually i dont think that's difficult... i am a very correct person and respect the law no matter in which country i am..... i dont go out at night at all and especially not alone...so ill be double careful in india ... 2. i am not tht kind of person who discusses abt religion, everyone has the right to choose his own religion, importent is just tht u belive.... i go to masjid at eid, to church at chrismas wid christian (indian) frnds and this navratri i was in mandir with my hindu frnds.... i try to respect every religion and have a lot of indian frnds wh think the same...we all respect our traditions and religion and celebrate every teohaar together.... 3. i dont discuss things like tht, some of my best frns are indian and no matter wht i love them... ok i will never comment on tht....i am just here for studies.... 4. thts my prob all of my friends are here in germany or UK or US..... what abt things like identification, can i tell everyone openly where i am from? or shuld i say i am from germany? but ppl will ask then more cuz i can speak hind/urdu and i dont look like a german? so how shoul i explain? and where shoul i stay? i was thinkig abt staying somewhere as a paying guest...but will ppl welcome me?

Do not try to hide that you are from Pakistan. If somebody asks, then say that without hesitation because if you try to hide and later some people somehow come to know, then they will start suspecting you. If police comes to know that you were staying in India by hiding your identity from others, then they may also start suspecting your motives. So it is good that you tell about yourself correctly.

Where you should stay depends on in which city of India you have to do business studies.

Yes that answer will be correct. Say you have come from Germany. If they ask you questions like
"Where are you originally from?"
"How do you know Hindi/Urdu?"
"You do not look like German"
then say that you are originally from Pakistan and came here for business studies.
If you have to choose between Delhi and Mumbai, then at present, I would consider Delhi as better option. But will you not be joining any university? I mean, how will you be doing business studies?
