Part of the problem is how easily antibiotics are available over the counter in India. No prescription required. A large number of people self-prescribe or take the advice of non-medical people when looking for a cure. I've seen folk take some pretty serious stuff (Tetracycline, Streptomycin etc.) on advice from the sales-staff at their local pharmacy. The government has done little or nothing to stop this behaviour.
