The biggest failure in last 12 years has been abject inability in scaling up the urban infra as per the demand. We have the unique achievement of delivering the absolute worst life at astronomical cost.

Looking in from the outside, it just seems like things happened much too fast in urban India. There was no time to plan :-(.

The population is always in mode of low intensity war on lines of caste, language and region. Such a population will always churn out pathetic to mediocre work.

I just hope that a st of leaders emerges who can rally everyone to pull together for only one thing - development and economic upliftment of all.

 

Development in and of itself - not tied to ancestry, language, region, caste - should be the source of pride.

Precisely.

British were so Sinister, within a generation changed our staple food, turned us into a carbsslopping country.  Our crops, growing patterns everything was changed.

 

Natives were clueless to see what was even happening.

 

 

Yes they are sinister enough to induce a cultural shift in us regarding food. Its so annoying trying to explain it to seniors who still believe semia uppuma is traditional food :rolleyes:

Your guess is as good as mine

I mean why else would people scramble like that? Come tomorrow and buy them when there is less crowd. My guess is that they had some Day 1 (first boNi) promotion going on.

Still it doesn't become a respectable thing to do much less in a foreign country. These people will complain racism if asked by host country people thereby questioning real racism a thing of the past. No wonder our average IQ today is around 85 which is substandard

I must say though that this is not an exclusive Indian behavior. Black Friday fights are legendary.

Didn't want to start another thread, so here's an example of the sad state of the world in general. I don't know why this "Sad state of India" thread bothers me so much - but every time I read it, I feel like I must remind everyone (and myself) that there are rage-filled, violent people everywhere and many of these anecdotes are not uniquely Indian. That obviously does not excuse any of it, but just perspective that Indians are not uniquely corrupt or violent or badly behaved.  

 

Again, with the caveat of innocent-until-proven-guilty, I share this:

New court records obtained by KTVB show a Payette County grand jury indicted Andrea Shaw on two first-degree murder charges, alleging she killed her 18-month-old twins by suffocation in May 2025.

 

Shaw appeared virtually for the arraignment at the Payette County District court on Thursday, July 2. 

 

She was indicted on Monday and arrested at 4 p.m. on Tuesday, over a year after the initial incident, according to Payette County Police Chief Gary Marshall. The charges stem from an investigation into the deaths of her two children, who were found dead May 1, 2025, at a home on North Ninth Street in Payette, according to the Payette Police Department.

 

Following the indictment, a warrant was issued for Shaw's arrest, according to authorities. She was arraigned in Ada County, then transferred to Payette County and arraigned there.
