80,000 government-escorted VIPs in one country. The definition has been interpreted generously

  So you think even less than 0.005% of the population should be VIP?

    Fair point on the percentage. Though I'd guess most countries with comparable per-capita rates don't have 80,000 motorcades blocking ambulances.

There is nothing surprising about this, nor the fact that a western news outlet doesn't understand local culture. The levels of security required in India is much higher.
