Still, the country has its allure if not for just the vast places and people that you can meet (why not with population over a billion people).

If India improves its infrastructure, much money is involved and that’s why many big foreign multinational companies don’t mind the current infra defects as imagine a billion marketplace of rapidly rising per capital income.

Still for travellers, we just have to make do for now as it will take decades even if their government is serious to kickstart a massive redevelopment programme.

The rapid expansion is certainly affecting India badly – I read somewhere that in the last ten years or so Bangalore had more than doubled in size – a once beautiful and pleasant city to live in reduced to a gridlock where still only a minority of well educated computer techs are able to make a good living.

I often think that the regular stories of India’s boom and the good it is doing are just lies spread to allow some pretty big companies to exploit some very cheap labour.

I have a similar site to yours – would you like to exchange links??
