And who is going to come in and fix this water infrastructure, the British?

The fact is that environmental conditions worsen each decade in India and quality of life is lower than in the 70s when the population was 555million (currently 1.3b).

Meanwhile the upper castes flee the country en-masse to the USA, Canada, Australia, Europe.

The Indian population will rise to 1.6b by 2050. It will be substantially easier to fix water infrastructure if this number was hundreds of millions lower. Population management is a bigger part of the solution than pipes and dams.
