Re: # 81

Last week most of the cows in old Delhi metro areas were shipped out.The first pic. is a street scene in old Delhi.We`re a democracy and sometimes the people carry things too far.Yet, the local govt. has to weigh citizen`s rights against social responsibility.So, the courts gave permission to cart the cows out and it was done.There was no opposition form the metro dwellers.They knew they were doing something illegal by keeping the cows in metro areas , till they could get away with it.Same with the Mumbai slum saga.The matter is now in the court.Once the courts give the ok, no social activist nor squatter can stop it.The last one is a rural pic.Ever been to Switzerland.Herds of cows will cross the street in their rural areas.Everyone waits patiently and then moves on.

This is the Mumbai i know........link

One bathroom per chaal and still no running water. Ugh!

Dude, this is the only highway you guys got.And, your capital`s main thouroughfare which looks like an avenue in one of our second tier cities.Click on this link for the Mumbai-pune expressway and this is only one of the many.

#71,

a clearer picture emerges of Pakistanis.

They think:

1) Slums are beautiful.

2) Bullock carts are automobiles.

3) Human pulled Rickshaws are the height of civilization.

Poor fellows. I really feel for them. It`s time to liberate them from the clutches of misery and show them how the world has changed outside of Pakistan.

Here is a picture from your beautiful capital DEHLI taken in 2004. The human pulled Rickshaw must be height of civilization.

#64,

I really feel sorry for you that you think that photo is beautiful. My dear sir, that is called a slum.

God knows what knows what kind of lives you lead in Pakistan that you think that slum is beautiful.

I think the time to civilize Pakistan is near. No more dilly dallying. Bring some sunshine into the pathetic lives of our neighbors in our west.

Re: # 66

God bless you avenger.

Check this description of pak roads..................

Driving in Pakistan: If you can - dont drive
Written NukeDoc on September 24, 2004.


by NukeDocAlthough there are some good roads in Pakistan (The motorway between Islamabad and Lahore, the road to Murree), most of the roads in Pakistan are more like a dirt bike track than anything asphalt. Extremely hazardous road constructions, no lines markings, no direction signs, big potholes, and on top of that absolutely reckless drivers. Roads are officially declared war zones and even if you are very careful someone else driving a 10 ton truck would maul you over.

HP ,

You are a fool to let your hatred for India blind you to the present realities. I know you are an old man...in your youth , I am sure India was a very poor country , and Pakistan was far better off relatively. So its understandable that you find it difficult to reconcile yourself to the new realities.

No amount of posting pictures of 1970s era autorickshaws or bulluck carts will take away the fact that automobiles worth $5billion were sold in India last year. Dozens of companies , both Indian and non-India compete for this fast expanding and highly evolved market. Over 2-3 dozen brand new models of various cars of several companies are available today.

Indian companies like Mahindra and Tata Motors export cars and SUVs to Europe and South America.Cars like these >>

Indigo Marina (Tata)


Indigo


Tata Indica V2


Tata Safari (SUV)


You posted a picture of a Mahindra Autorickshaw of the 1970s vintage ..(days of your youth)....Now see for yourself how far the company has come...from making autorickshaws to manufacturing Sport Utility Vehicles (suv) that are exported to Europe...

Mahindra Scorpio
