India

Why does it always happen? Why can'y these guys change? Why always slums and garbage dumps? Why not hi-tech buildings, pubs and discos?

Something is wrong with American media. India is in news these days - and America acknowledges it. It acknowledges the fact that there are more english speaking people in India than America. It acknowledges that we have more educated people - with a very modern outlook. They say things are changing in India.

But have you ever wondered why these guys always show slums, stray cows, crowded streets, traffic jams, people sleeping on road sides etc. when they show "India" on TV? Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't this the case - always? From CNN to Discovery to BBC to ABC.

A recent video on ABC really disturbed me. It was about the evergrowing "knowledge base" in India. And guess what, they had to show the slums and all.

I am attempting to tell the people of the world that India is not just about the things mentioned above. I don't want people to get the wrong message. India is progressing. In every field. Be it providing services to Americans or improving its own infrastructure.

I am starting (a kind of) a series in which I will post pictures of different cities in India. I want to tell the world that India is not just about beggars, cobras, the Indian rope trick and the things mentioned above. India is about cleanliness; educated & patriotic people; hospitality; and what not.
