    About 30 years ago I was in India and travelled all over the northern two thirds of the country. I have to say that I really enjoyed my visit. It was a great country with industrious people. A true capitalist nation. I only got to see the northern part, but I hear the southern part is more prosperous. I cannot verify that. I'll just say that I really loved India. I expected to find more English speakers than I actually encountered. I didn't consider the "slums," slums. People were working everywhere with incense wafting through the air. Yes, it was dirty, but that's just the way India is. They aren't concerned about it at all, neither was I.

      These are very hard working peoples, I agree but to say living in such deplorable conditions & they are happier than most peoples in the western countries ? you must be out of your mind & in denial state of the reality. Are you living in such condition now ? The government of India is corrupt & incompetent otherwise slums like this shouldn't exist in one of the so called largest city of India. If you are an Indian, I guess you must be from the upper caste & poor peoples that lives in the slums makes you feel great & superior. Very disgusting !

It is linked to cancers of the throat and mouth as well as giving you unsightly red gums and teeth - so best avoided. But I can understand why they take it. Credit to the people who live there and work so hard. The place just really needs a good cleanup and some town planning which will make a massive difference. These people deserve this, they are trying to improve their situation and not just giving up. This is where the government should put the effort in on improving the lot of the common man. It is great to send rockets to the far side of the moon and inflate your ego, but how is that helping your countryman?

      What we in the West are enjoying is very rare, and only in recent Human History.
      In fact, even in the 21st century, there are billions of People world wide who have poor living standards, have to work 12 to 16 hours a day 6 days or 7 days a week, no workers rights, dirt poor low wages, and shitty small apartment or shared room.
      Some of us are lucky. Majority of Humanity from the beginning of civilization to today has not had the luxuries we all enjoy in the 1st world countries today.
