How can I find cheap hostels/hotels in India?

Question

How can I find cheap hostels/hotels in India?
The hostel/hotel websites just seem to list expensive hotels.
I thought that I could easily find a double room in Indian cities for about Rs200 to 600 as quoted on this site.

Is this realistic and how would I find them? Any useful websites or information very welcome.

If I just arrive at the train station how can I find them?
Will someone approach me and should I follow them to their hotel?

yes, you can find double rooms in Indian cities for that amount of money.
usually those places don't pay money for web adverts since their customers are unlikely to have internet connection.
if you want to find those cheap hotels/guest houses post you question on U.S.A answers ---> travel ----> india. specify exactly the name of the city you want to know about cheap hotels/guest houses.
when you arrive at a train station, tell people you already have a hotel reservation, if they ask what hotel, tell them it's none of their business.
walk out of the station and go to a chai(tea) shop or to any other shop and ask the owners or the customers for a cheap hotel, you are likely to get a better place at lower price. I usually do that and it has, so far, worked all the times.
