Very well said, Mario G!!! Indian middle and upperClasses have to 'Wake Up and Now' before more of the country becomes 'the Slum'. What with Slum type and Divisive attitudes of the Fascist Leaders and Organisations. These are they who make India look like a 'Maha Slum'. 'India Shinning' and 'Incredible India' Indeed!!! JAI HO!!

If Indians have a self-esteem problem it does not lie in western acclaim, but in their own failure to acknowledge and accept that 65 million of their fellow citizens are "slumdogs", and they better provide the infrastructure, education and job opportunities to lift them up from these conditions before laying any claim to be a superpower. Perhaps a good place to start would be for Indians in general to start paying their taxes as they are supposed to, start electing honest politicians, and showing some consideration for each other in public places including on the roads and highways.
