Please do. Sometimes it takes someone outside of a system to see how flawed a system is.

Also, it sometimes gives ammunition to people trying to bring about change ( 'Even foreigners think xyz is bad' ).

As an Indian citizen I feel people outside should be allowed to criticize India.

Yes, this is not an insider vs outsider thing, just like an Insider is emotional, more often than not the outsider does not have all the context/nuance and over-simplifies the problem and/or the solution.

I always appreciate all kinds of people being critical of India. There are many shortcoming cultural and ethical among Indians and India.
