Pakistanis should be celebrating every time an Indian dies on the roads. You just showed what a crazed idiot you are. All I did was to mention that the US State Department rates Indian roads and transport services as "poor", and you couldn't resist running back to your favorite obsession. Seriously, I have no quarrel with State Dept's directives. Of course, you don't. Pakistan will make a virus that will stop BOOTING all the Indian-operated computers in this world. That will teach them a lesson and make them LICK MY BOOTS - that is Pakistan's. There you go again, like an Indian Railways train jumping off its tracks...

Political parties hire wrestlers to help in booth-capturing and bogus-voting in the "shining example of democracy" called India, that is Bhaarat. rediff.com

This one is from an email and is dated June 1997, but that doesn't mean it is outdated, because it is about India (and in India, ages may pass before the wheels move even a little bit). It is about Indian airports and the safety, (or, to be more precise, of the lack of safety) when you fly into and within India. This news just in. This month alone, there were 7 near misses in 11 days over IG airport, New Delhi. There is no use blaming anybody. Because the entire aviation ministry in India is mucked up. Nobody takes responsibility. That is the way the system is and has been run all these decades by a bunch of file pushing "know all pretender" bureaucrats who report to a duffer minister. There are no independent safety audit depts or work culture, nor any staff training imperatives or growth planning. How many innocent lives must be lost because of these schmucks. Navigation facilities at Indian airports are rated as too dangerous by the ICAO. They do not have proper radar and navigation systems, even after 50 years of independence. Because of lack of funds, they say. A matter of less than 100 crores. During the past 7 years, the Indian government has spent over 600 crores on the personal security of the netas and their relatives. Over 100 crores on their overseas medical expenses. How and where did this money come from. Whenever there is an accident, as usual there are no survivors. The dead pilot is blamed and a commission of inquiry appointed. No lessons are learnt. In the recent Saudia/Kazak air collision about 370 innocents were blown to pieces. The dead pilots were accused of not following the verbal radio instructions of the Delhi ATC. Just a thought - have you heard how some of these Indian bureaucrats speak ??. They seem to have mouthful of pan froth when they speak. In a recent TV interview, a senior IAS bureaucrat spoke in English. Yet the TV station provided English sub-titles on what he spoke, at the bottom of the screen.
