Dear Author, Nice column. It does point out many negative points about India. I would like to add some justification to the authors remarks about India. First of all, the power cut. Ofcourse powercuts are too much in India. But, the reason why there wasn't any powercut in US during Newor Leans cyclones could be all the power cables run underground(which makes US developed and India not so DEVELOPED). We have experienced powercuts in some parts the UK for about 2/3 days because of HUGE rains and some people have to spend their nights in pubs to keep them warm with candles.Ofcourse the power supply cables are underground here too. 4. Discrimination against the white tourist: Oh well! this happens even with auto rikshaws(very fondly called as "put puts". Perhaps these people are trying to get back all the wealth many other countries robbed from India. I shall continue my response in another message.
