Unfortunately what your post seems to say, to me, is this; everywhere in India has one or more major problems, of different types. So even if the problems vary across the country it strikes me that their widespread existence reflects an underlying problem I don't know, I dislike judging other cultures from my own singular perspective. But I can't help shuddering at some of the things he describes, and wonder how are people in your country not more outraged by them. (with all that said; I equally dislike the snobby-western-judgemental attitude of the author... it smacks of colonial superiority, "the poor brown people staring in awe at the god like white man" (that's really not far off of a quote..). chuck)
