It sounds to me like he probably did go to India and realized his god-connection, which was different than the way people thought back in his home.
It would make sense that they couldn't understand it and would think of it in their own terms. They thought similarly to the way we do today in the West, that man is separate from God and you're either a man or God, can't be both. Black and white. It shows a lack of depth and intelligence.. a lack of clear thinking. Feels like a master/slaves or a king/subjects type of mentality. There isn't a whole lot of clear thinking these days because we don't practice things to clear the mind, although more people are starting to meditate.
