Value of human life in india

India has the most pathetic roads in the world. Combine that with the general carelessness of our drivers , it results in valuable loss of lives.

I have been to so called dirt poor nations in Caribbean and even they have better roads and sanitation than India.

Until our population gets to a manageable levels, nothing we build will be enough to sustain 1.35 billion people.

India's optimal population is probably 50 to 100 million max, gettin down to that number will take over a millenia

Population is not the problem for us. It never was and it never will. We have enough habitable and cultivable land to meet their basic needs. Problem is our inbred carelessness and "chalta hai" attitude from the top to the bottom levels of our establishment. Add to that the corruption in the political and administrative field and we've got an absolute mess which looks impossible to tidy up.

Don't forget 'ache din aane wale hain'. :inti
 
For years roads were neglected by successive govts. It was Vajpayee who started the infrastructure development in roads. MMS again ignored it. Modi has again restarted it.

But even under BJP while highways have improved, suburban and urban roads still lag behind by a lot.

It needs a big effort from the central govt,state govts and municipalities before roads are of a satisfactory quality.
 
I am surprised and relieved that number is not higher. Drivers in that part of region are often quite careless.
 
This is the problem with sub continent folks, we fight over petty things and overlook the basic necessities. In Pakistan Karachi roads are probably worse than war torn countries Syria and Iraq. Modi won elections by bashing Pakistan but the people in India are still suffering and dying due to basic things. Wish our people had the brains to elect and produce better leaders who can enable the region to compete with the west and north east asia.

It's not the roads alone. The driving license administration in India is the world's biggest joke.
Any ***** can get a driving license in India. In many places, the applicants don't even have to go through the driving test nowadays. In places that still require it, the test is laughably easy to pass.

An overwhelming number of Indian driving license holders cannot drive properly. Some can't drive at all.
