| India is moving. Not one or two cities, We often see only one type of India's image. Crowded, dirty, filthy and polluted. The pictures would be often taken from random sewage canals and slums which exists in plenty. Those underbellies exist in every part of the world. TRUE that Shanghai and other great world cities have nicer infrastructure than the Indian metropolises. It is just that we are seeing things in binary instead of shades of gray. Indian cities sure have more than their share of dirtiness. Those are the reality and so are the ones below. The problem is that if only one type of pictures are shown it totally distorts the reality. Driving through Mumbai's Marine Drive. A few kilometers north, Bandra-Worli sealink that connects traditional Mumbai city with its suburbs: The new Mumbai airport its environs The serene Sabarmati river runnin g through Ahmedabad Jaipur: The land of palaces - now getting modern The heart of Bengaluru: Vidhan Soudha Mysore: Bangalore's royal cousin Heart of New Delhi during the parade New Delhi's Lotus Temple to rival the Taj The sparkling clean Delhi metro The Yamuna Expressway to Agra. Heart of Chennai in lush greenery Chennai's iconic Marina beach Chennai's southern skyline - not as good as other Indian metropolis but getting better Chennai's Anna Memorial Chennai's Kathipara junction Kochi's aspirations to enter as a Tier-1 Metropolis Hyderabad center around the Char Minar Rapidly growing skyline of Hyderabad: New 8-laned expressways of Hyderabad Kolkata - the old capital of India Kolkata's Vidaysagar Setu Heart of India's former summer capital – Shimla Gangtok: The serene northeastern city India is moving. Not one or two cities, but the whole nation. By not looking atthe pictures above we get the distorted view that India is not progressing. If someone shows a picture of New York, which of the following would they normally use? We need to be real. But, that doesn't mean dwelling in pessimism. |
