No, it's certainly a much bigger problem in India than France. The intent was just to emphasize that “just one state in India” is not a small / low population place, but comparable to larger European countries. I did that pretty badly though. To point out another mistake I made, I forgot to compare the population of the state alone v/s France – which is 3.5x, not 20x (as another commenter says [1]). So the equivalent case for France would be ~10k such cases, which would hopefully be reported about more widely. -------------------------------------------- [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28299098 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28299098
