I would report that. All of the UberX rides that I had in Delihi were taxis who didn't have the meter on. I've had a few that were just not great, butyou shouldn't be having that big of an issue with Uber there. English is an offical language in India.

This was in Chennai mostly, so little different language situation. I don’t mean to come off too harsh on it, as having Uber in India was extremely useful for me getting around. Some of the rides were around 1-2 USD so wasn’t worth the hassle.

There are 16 official languages in India. The vast majority of cab drivers you encounter will only know one of them. In the South English is more likely to be spoken, in the North, it is far less likely.
