**** I am sure glad to see you exercising your reasoning
abilities Umesh. I was beginning to get a bit worried of late
:-).
It is not really all that hard to see the difference between an
apple and an orange. But some of our friends are so terribly
plagued with an inferiority complex that they can't help
being drawn to find tenuous and even absurd reasons to assert their
national superiority or at least equivalency. It is rather
sad!

It is true about law and order and that there were rapes in New Orleans (and not in Mumbai) which do not seem to have any relation to the hunger or misery faced by the people there. However, we cannot compare 18 inches of rain there with 37 inches of rain Mumbai becos - mumbai isn't below sea level and didn't drown under 20 feet of water - as N.O. did.
