Here is slide show from the NYT. http://www.nytimes.com/slideshow/2008/01/10/world/20080111INDIA_index.html
I'm afraid to think what the situation will be even in 5-10 years from now. Delhi alone adds 650 cars a day, and there are 5.4 million vehicles (NYT figures) and this (Highlights mine): "Officials in India's capital issued more than 300,000 driver's licenses last year, which could be seen as either a feat of bureaucratic efficiency or Indian ingenuity. *At one city licensing office this week, the test consisted of turning on the ignition and driving in a wide circle that took about a minute*." - NYT "Pedicabs and bicycles crowd the streets with cars during rush hour in the old city of Delhi. *Extra-loud horns are the new flavor in car accessories*, along with a horn that beeps automatically when a car backs up. *High-beams are also a popular option*, and not just for dark country roads." - NYT _______________________________________________ assam mailing list [email protected] http://assamnet.org/mailman/listinfo/assam_assamnet.org
