Your two points are really true. That is what makes us different from others. That is why Indians have peace of mind even when they are not rich. We have the ability to see our negative side and the positive side of others. That is what makes us richer in culture.

To identify the negative side is indeed good step to rectify it.
But our media is projecting this issues not for rectifying but for making money by displaying it on international market.
Did you ever happen to see the slums in France, Latin America? I think, many of our members may not be even knowing much worst slums exists in this part of world? because these things are not much projected into international market.
- i feel it like the beggars who displaying his rotten hand to people requesting the money.
indirectly we are defaming the countries image in international market. showing our progress downwards. Every country have problems, but it is the Asian Trio who are more interested to display their dirty side to the world.

and the foriegners come to visit shed crocodile tears and experss their surprise. ( as if they did not seen much worst situation back home)
more irritating is the people like mr.Secular india, who go along with this foreigners and will even goupto the level of using a stick to scratch the wound and highlight the puss. then enjoy displaying such rotten wounds to outsider and they feel they are doing a great job.
These people dont know how to apply medicine to the wound and take care of them, rather than making the situation a mockery in front of outsider.

AMERICA has the worst slums in the world; where the beggars kill each other for even a dollar; in India there are poor people still they value tradition of family, unity, even in poverty they live with pride, they are spiritual also, many NGOs are alert and helping out street children ; doing good work to society

hey Maya - illusion - where do you live ? Do you know how women are beaten up and raped every single in the slums of India. How their men abandon them after having five kids through them WITHOUT exception. There are "good slums" in Bombay no doubt which has some educated people with middle class values - folks who earn some money and ashamed to go back to their families in villages. But thats it.

see our culture on the staircases painted with paan spitting. see our culture on the railway track in the mornings. see our culture in the toilets of our railway station and even airports.

yes it is bad accepted. But better than the western culture where - a girl undergoing many abortions before even reaching her 16 years? - mens marrying mother in laws? - sharing partners?
Thank god, we are ofcourse in the mud, but not in the shit.
