India is big, yes, but it's not impossible to fix things up. It just takes time and the will to put the effort into doing what needs to be done.
I agree. The government is more concerned with weapons of mass destruction than they are in providing sanitation services for the people.

I will never visit India again after witnessing the conditions and behaviour of people in places like Delhi and Bombay.

I certainly hope that South Africa doesnt import the methods and technology espoused by India.

Imagine the chaos when a bus knocks one of those telco poles down.
Must take months to solve the cabling issues.

The amount of people who live in India and the size of the country is no excuse for the conditions that exist there.
