I guess most people downvoting and commenting against you have never been to India.
I've travelled extensively, and I've spent a lot of time in India - nowhere else have I seen such an extreme juxtaposition of wealth with such abject poverty, squalor and misery.
On multiple occasions I've had (Western) colleagues travel with me to India (outsourcing...), who simply couldn't cope with what they saw; there were tears, a realisation of complete futility, and promises never to return.
I also have several Indian colleagues, some living temporarily in the west, some permanently, and some spread across India - every one I've asked about this is disgusted.
The money India spent on this pointless endeavour is beyond reason; I can only imagine it's somehow politically motivated, just as the "aid" money that several western nations send to India undoubtedly is.
