Good luck on your trip back and I urge you to consider my earlier affluent/effluent post.

Do a bit of good while you are back there, you will feel so much better
Fastest moving large economy in the world ---not good?

Yes there is plenty of bad, I have repeatedly stated that they have been too slow to reduce the poverty that they inherited (you have been strangely silent on the relatively sort time they have had to do this).
You are the one mocking the very poor and their defecation habits, calling it a "cess pit".

It is because we live with them and care for the poor in every day life that I object so strongly to your attitude.
Also I have been there so long that I actually know how the lives of so many have improved.

(It probably will not interest you to know , but I looked at this part of the Forum when a neighbouring widow, had lived much of her life in 'abject poverty'--her youngest daughter married a man who got a job in the Middle East and having seen some of the posts I have been seriously worried about her, however she seems happy).

We are not going on a 'trip', it is home.
You can have no knowledge of how little or how much good I do, or any one else does but I see the reality of the poverty and how people live their lives and would not think of calling theirs and our home a "shit hole" or "cess pit.

Everything is relative. Including the growth of the Indian economy.

If you start pretty much at the bottom with an exorbitant number of people below the poverty line it doesn't take much to make an improvement..

This article from World Economic Forum pretty much sums up this point. India is only the fourth fastest growing economy in the world (as of April 2016). Iraq has pretty much the same rate of growth as India.

You keep bringing this up, it's very impressive and all that, but your article also states;

"India is not the fastest growing economy in the world," said Ritika Mankar Mukherjee, an Ambit economist in Mumbai.
"No matter how you cut it, while there are certain segments of the economy holding up such as IT or e-commerce, large parts of the economy are actually slowing down."
And don't forget, the economy might be booming, but a lot of the recent growth (perhaps last two years) is inward. Rupees are still very, very cheap and if you own rupees, your options of spending overseas have increased by 20-35% because your own currency isn't worth as much.

India has a monumental potential. Yes, it's only been standalone for 60-something years but in that time a lot more could have been done, for absolute certain.

The problem with India isn't what the British did or took or left behind. It's the mentality. It's the mentality that 90% of Indians have. It's so so hard to describe.
