Say a 21 year old Indian goes to London and drinks some whiskey, is it a crime? because, it is a crime in India!

I'd say the meaning of a crime has drifted over centuries. The criteria of a crime has shifted from something very objective, to more casuistics of all kinds.
It got from something what would've gotten somebody onto pitchforks upon a first sight, to long and arduous arguing about textual meaning of laws, rather than long, and arduous moral judgement of early Greco-Roman trials

While your points stands, it's not actually a crime in several states in India.
