Just came back from my much awaited India trip, had a whale of a time. Just read in Shekhar Kapur’s blog; “ Abuse is the order of day in India”!! He is the man when it comes to composed literature so as to speak of!
My experience; yeah he is right again. No, I am not getting into this NRI veil & trying to criticize everything about India. I am trying to analyze facts here. College Registrar still gives a hard time to students for getting their transcripts signed, bathrooms in trains are still not clean, there are still very few public restrooms in decent sized cities like Nagpur for ex., people still catch jaundice & malaria due to polluted water, so many people still believe in inequality & cast system, intercaste marriages are still a taboo, child labor seems to be getting worse, law & order is still unheard of, female infanticide is still prevalent, & the list goes on.
Yes, India is shining in some few cities & in the living rooms of the educated! How about the underprivileged though? Do they not have the right to a safe, healthy, happy life?
