India... ???

-India is where sweet Lassi and tangy MangoChutney go hand in hand and somehow where famine is the norm every summer.
-India is the land of Monsoons where rains clog up the most metropolitan of our cities.
-India is where Rituals and Traditions throng the markets - From New Year to Diwali, its all about the money, honey!
-India is where the Government employs the world's largest railway system under a single management.
-India is where we have a fine of 50 bucks for riding atop the Delhi Metro.
I am certain quite a few may have tried it.
-India is where every teeny weeny kid recites the anthem whereas only a handful understand the highly Sankritised Bengali.
-India is where there is a Paradise on Earth, only Pakistan seems to think otherwise.
-India is where the public signs up protesting against rape atrocities in the Congo War, while our very own females (age no bar) have no voice.
-India is where we have 1% of the world's road vehicles and 6 % of the world's road accident deaths.
-India is where we have a population of One Billion and counting with about 40% of them below the poverty line.
-India is where the average age of people losing their virginity is eighteen years.
-India is where the highest number of HIV infections are found.
-India is where the 500,000 female infants were chosen to be killed before they arrived in his world.
-India is where everyone points out the problems in our system... but never the solutions.
