I was in India in 1945 and I remember it as if it were yesterday. Starving peasants struggling along the road to walk to the city, in the hopes of obtaining food/job there. Many corpses by the side of the road. Vultures looking for more corpses. The people were religion centered. Almost everyone I talked to asked me, an atheist, what religion I had. Prayer doesn't get anybody anywhere. So has India changed after 59 years? I get the impression that there is some improvement. Industry grows, not like Japan once or China now, but still there is growth. Maybe not everybody is close to starvation. Everything's relative. Or do you think the situation is deteriorating?
