While i agree with the underlyign tone of what you are trying to say i beg to factually differ on katrina.
how can you compare the sixth-strongest Atlantic hurricane ever recorded in history with just mere rains in mumbai and the top economic capital of india having zero infrastructure ??
do you even know what a hurricane is ? winds blowing constantly at 280 km / hour and the new orleans is an area below sea level and it got flooded but most people were evacuated well ahead of that time. Total populatation affected and evacuated millions well ahead of time , casualities mere 1836 ! and people evacuated more than 15 million plus. What happened when tsunami hit south India 18,000 dead and india couldnt evacuate so many in short time.
In no way can Indian be compared with US or other developed countries as for disaster preparedness.
but in India we have a bloody 'sab chalta hai attitude' and on top we feel 'somewhat superior' without any commensurate results on the real ground. why are you insanely comparing a simple heavy rain with a hurricane ?? first go read about what a hurricane is then comment.
And I DONT want stories of past glories that your grandfather ate food made of pure gold and all that stuff either which are of zero relevance today.
On the other hand I agree with you that we all do salute and appreciate the indian farmer who through ages and today still feed us a full 16% of world's population with only 2.3% of the world area.
