I think this man has overdescribed the subject. A person studying in a multinational institute and interacting with an indian can't be so ignorant that he thinks a country which is a nuclear power has no electricity. Either that man has no brain or this writer has raised this issue to make this article to get attention. Please don't make such small issues of our own country.

i Think u r not much aware of the fact sir. 1) Most of the villages still do not have electricity 2) Even cities (may be excluding few metros) do not have continuous power.
If u r healthy does not mean all are healthy. I hope u understand it.
Sitting on rediff.com does not give insight about the country.

Yes i agree The author seems to have grown up only in cities like Delhi. Still many villages have not even 2 hours of electricity per day. Many people go witout food atleast once a day continuously for 2 or 3 days. Those who are born in cities want all the luxuries like electricity,public transport, fly overs etc. That is why people like bugger like Chandrababu are getting lot of importance who think that Agriculture is no use and expect poor people to perish

I disagree as 70% population in India does not know about own country like state names, state capitals, economy of India, secularism etc. In our country itself we don't leave any stone unturned to insult other Indian states residents, other religions ... RAJ THAKRE SAHEB is one of the such examples.
probably, it would be an information for you that India has got little recdognition only because of IT and Bollywood - otherwise, bloody politicians have ruined this nation and its honor.

Actually at times the american rogues ask such questions purposefully..they want to humiliate and insult you. Many even being aware of what is india like today ask such stupid questions. They are being tought all over in School about Great land called America and they believe to live in fools paradise. In reality many european and Asian countries are superior to USA in every possible way!

That gives a chance to look inside. ITs better we look inside ourselves. May be we are missing something. Not to blame others.

We are looking inside, we are aware of issues in India. The question here is does America have any moral right to insult an Indian..in the name of ignorance?
