That's correct. I visited Delhi last year. Though the capital was relatively 
clean, the environs known as Old Delhi is a mess.  No wonder the rest of India 
is in the same state, and they cannot bear to see Goa being cleaner that the 
capital

PS As far as I am concerned, the only saving grace for the 2010 games appears 
to be the new metro rail system - clean, uptodate, with an excellent ticketing 
system.

Mario observes:

Have either of you visited somewhere in the rest of India recently?  The entire 
country is publicly filthy, with very few exceptions, so why would Goa be 
different?

I have never understood exactly why.  And there is no end in sight.

I have visited other relatively poor countries and nothing I have seen compares 
with the mess that India has seemingly always been.  I can only speculate that 
it has something to do with a careless and callous national attitude towards 
others, which then manifests itself in public filth, urinating and defecating 
in public, spitting all over the place, throwing garbage in public places, and 
the lack of respect for others when negotiating the country's highways and 
byways in powered vehicles.
