Wow! I think the author has made some good points in the comparing the two situation. But I hardly understand the thought process of be littling(I don't know if such a word exists)Mumbaikars is not in the right spirit. I live in Houston and saw first hand the panic and chaos during Allison - 2001 storm that hit Houston, it is wrong to say that India is not morally and spiritually superior. How can you ignore the heroic deeds of the Mumbaikars living in utter poverty during the Deluge. Those who have never travelled by car were seen helping the rich get out of their car and made sure that their vehicles were returned at the earliest to their homes. "Poor" people sharing whatever they had in their houses with strangers when their natural instictincts could have been to exploit just like in New Orleans. What good is your attitude when you cant see goodness in poor people's sacrifice and come to defend the anarchy and animal behavior of rich and developed nations. Stop criticising India without reason.
