Here is a link to a recent article in the U.S. "National Georgraphics" on Mumbai slums:http://www7.nationalgeographic.com/ngm/0705/feature3/index.html.
I've never seen places so filthy and disorganised in my life. The hell is better than an Indian city in reality.
I always thought Indian people are smart and hardworking. After reading all these comments, i realize that Indians are very complicated people. They talk the talk but they rarely walk the walks.
Interestingly, I found that most people here seems like to blame your government for corruptions and mismanagement. There are lots of blaming games going on and on.
Why don't you live a simpler yet healthier life, starting from doing little things like keeping your streets and yards clean. Then you can talk about India becoming a Superpower..
I feel a strong sense of hopelessness, helplessness for India as a nation.
