What's your problem with India bro? India is slowly developing, give it time. They are starting to invest money in infrastructure. China was a famine infested dump just 30 years ago, if I recall correctly.

30 million people in such a small area in 10 years !!! This city has major issues coming.

@keyclone888 atleast better than the cities of those "so called" developed nations where things are filled up with filth but are sugar coated. We work, earn, spend and save. Unlike nations that doesn't have a predictable future. Where jobs are there any more and misery is taking over. Just wait and watch. Cheers!

You can call this the worlds filthiest mega cities. Right from the moment u start landing in Mumbai (where one can see slums) to the streets. Oof just horrible.

Sao Paulo also has women-only train carriages

@modernhumble India is going to spend 1.2 trillion dollars on infrastructure in next few years. This includes metro in 17 cities and 7000km of roads every year starting 2010. Also old airports will be replaced by swanky new ones in most cities (some already completed). The unequal distribution of wealth is much bigger problem with no clear solutions.

@modernhumble true. The main problem with india is that while it is diverse because of regional cultures it is coupled with bureacracy among difference regions.
