Reflections on India by Sean Paul Kelley<\/p>\n
Sean Paul Kelley is a travel writer, former radio host, and before that, an If you are Indian, or of Indian descent, I must preface this post with a Lastly, before anyone accuses me of Western Cultural Imperialism, let me India is a mess. It’s that simple, but it’s also quite complicated. I’ll First: Pollution. In my opinion the filth, squalor and all around Whole villages are plastic bag wastelands. Roadsides are choked by it. Air The only two cities that could be considered sanitary, in my journey, were The second issue, infrastructure, can be divided into four subcategories: The Ports are a joke. Antiquated, out of date, hardly even appropriate for Roads are an equal disaster. I only saw one elevated highway that would be Everyone in India, or who travels in India, raves about the railway system. At least fifty million people use the trains a day in India. 50 million Seriously, I just never have the impression that the Indian government The last major problem in India is an old problem and can be divided into It take triplicates to register into a hotel. To get a SIM card for ones’ Getting train tickets is a terrible ordeal, first you have to find the The government is notoriously uninterested in the problems of the Rural hospitals are perennially understaffed as doctors pocket the fees the I could go on for quite some time about my perception of India and its Mumbai, Indias’ financial capital, is about as filthy, polluted and poor as One would expect a certain amount of, yes, I am going to use this word, The rich still have their servants, the lower castes are still there to do Now, you have it, call me a cultural imperialist, a spoiled child of the And, the bottom line is, I don’t think India really cares.

\nalive. He recently left a fantastic job in Singapore working for Solar
\nWinds, a software company based out of Austin, to travel around the world
\nfor a year or two. He founded The Agonist, in 2002, which is still
\nconsidered the top international affairs, culture and news destination for
\nprogressives. He is also the Global Correspondent for The Young Turks, on
\nsatellite radio and Air America.<\/a><\/p>\n
\nclear warning: you are not going to like what I have to say. My criticisms
\nmay be very hard to stomach. But consider them as the hard words and loving
\nadvice of a good friend. Someone who is being honest with you and wants
\nnothing from you.<\/p>\n
\nsay this: if this is what India and Indians want, then, who am I to tell
\nthem differently. Take what you like and leave the rest. In the end it
\ndoesn’t really matter, as I get the sense that Indians, at least many upper
\nclass Indians, don’t seem to care and the lower classes just don’t know any
\nbetter, what with Indian culture being so intense and pervasive on the
\nsub-continent. But, here goes, nonetheless.<\/p>\n
\nstart with what I think are Indias’ four major problems \u2013 the four most
\npreventing India from becoming a developing nation \u2013 and then move to some
\nof the ancillary ones.<\/a><\/p>\n
\npollution, indicates a marked lack of respect for India by Indians. I don’t
\nknow how cultural the filth is, but it’s really beyond anything I have ever
\nencountered. At times the smells, trash, refuse and excrement are like a
\ngarbage dump. Right next door to the Taj Mahal was a pile of trash that
\nsmelled so bad, was so foul as to almost ruin the entire Taj experience.
\nDelhi, Bangalore and Chennai to a lesser degree, were so very polluted as
\nto make me physically ill. Sinus infections, ear infection, bowels churning
\nwas an all too common experience in India. Dung, be it goat, cow or human
\nfecal matter, was common on the streets. In major tourist areas filth was
\neverywhere, littering the sidewalks, the roadways, you name it. Toilets in
\nthe middle of the road, men urinating and defecating anywhere, in broad
\ndaylight.<\/p>\n
\nquality that can hardly be called quality. Far too much coal and far too
\nfew unleaded vehicles on the road. The measure should be how dangerous the
\nair is for ones’ health, not how good it is. People casually throw trash in
\nthe streets, on the roads.<\/p>\n
\nTrivandrum \u2013 the capital of Kerala \u2013 and Calicut. I don’t know why this is,
\nbut I can assure you that, at some point, this pollution will cut into<\/a>
\nIndias’ productivity, if it already hasn’t. The pollution will hobble
\nIndias’ growth path, if that indeed is what the country wants. (Which I
\npersonally doubt, as India is far too conservative a country, in the small
\n`c’ sense.)<\/p>\n
\nRoads, Rails, Ports and the Electric Grid. The Electric Grid is a joke.
\nLoad shedding is all too common, everywhere in India. Wide swathes of the
\ncountry spend much of the day without the electricity they
\nactually pay for. Without regular electricity, productivity, again, falls.<\/p>\n
\nthe mechanized world of container ports, more in line with the days of
\nlongshoremen and the like.<\/p>\n
\nconsidered decent in Thailand, much less Western Europe or America and I
\ncovered fully two-thirds of the country during my visit. There are so few
\ndual carriage-way roads as to be laughable. There are no traffic laws to
\nspeak of and, if there are, they are rarely obeyed, much less enforced
\n(another sideline is police corruption). A drive that should take an hour
\ntakes three. A drive that should take three takes nine. The buses are at
\nleast thirty years old, if not older and, generally, in poor mechanical
\nrepair, belching clouds of poisonous smoke and fumes.<\/p>\n
\nRubbish! It’s awful! When I was there in 2003 and then late 2004 it was
\ndecent. But, in the last five years, the traffic on the rails has grown so
\nquickly that once again, it is threatening productivity. Waiting in line
\njust to ask a question now takes thirty minutes. Routes are routinely sold
\nout three and four days in advance now, leaving travelers stranded with
\nlittle option except to take the decrepit and dangerous buses.<\/p>\n
\npeople! Not surprising that wait lists of 500 or more people are common
\nnow. The rails are affordable and comprehensive, but, they are overcrowded
\nand what with budget airlines popping up in India like sadhus in an ashram
\nin the middle and lowers classes are left to deal with the overutilized
\nrails and quality suffers. No one seems to give a damn.<\/p>\n
\nreally cares. Too interested in buying weapons from Russia, Israel and the
\nUS, I guess.<\/p>\n
\ntwo parts: that’ve been two sides of the same coin since government was
\ninvented: bureaucracy and corruption.<\/p>\n
\nphone is like wading into a jungle of red-tape and photocopies one is not
\nlikely to emerge from in a good mood, much less satisfied with customer
\nservice.<\/p>\n
\ntrain number, which takes 30 minutes, then you have to fill in the form,
\nwhich is far from easy, then you have to wait in line to try and make a
\nreservation, which takes 30 minutes at least and if you made a single
\nmistake on the form, back you go to the end of the queue, or what passes
\nfor a queue in India.<\/p>\n
\ncommoners. Too busy fleecing the rich, or trying to get rich themselves in
\nsome way, shape or form. Take the trash, for example, civil rubbish
\ncollection authorities are too busy taking kickbacks from the wealthy to
\nkeep their areas clean that they don’t have the time, manpower, money or
\ninterest in doing their job.<\/p>\n
\ngovernment pays them, never show up at the rural hospitals and practice in
\nthe cities instead.<\/p>\n
\nproblems, but in all seriousness, I don’t think anyone in India really
\ncares. And that, to me, is the biggest problem. India is too conservative a
\nsociety to want to change in any way.<\/p>\n
\nthe worst city imaginable in Vietnam, or Indonesia \u2013 and being more
\npolluted than Medan, in Sumatra, is no easy task. The biggest rats I have
\never seen were in Medan !<\/p>\n
\n“backwardness,” in a country that hasn’t produced so many Nobel Laureates,
\nnuclear physicists, imminent economists and entrepreneurs. But, India has
\nall these things and what have they brought back to India with them?
\nNothing.<\/p>\n
\nthe dirty work and so the country remains in stasis. It’s a shame. Indians
\nand India have many wonderful things to offer the world, but I’m far from
\nsanguine that India will amount to much in my lifetime.<\/p>\n
\nWest and all that. But remember, I’ve been there. I’ve done it and I’ve
\nseen 50 other countries on this planet and none, not even Ethiopia, have as
\nlong and gargantuan a laundry list of problems as India does.<\/p>\n
\nand too conservative.
