India is like a mini Africa, some pockets of wealth, immense wealth even, but overall still a poor country with bad infra, over population and all sorts of other fk'd up.

lol, that's very kind of you, but I live here

SE Asian countries, increasingly popular for visitors from here, are so much better in terms of overall cleanliness. Singapore aside, none of them are first world proper wealthy places.. idhar people lack civic sense.

Modi has taken a few very good initiatives to clean it up, 'swachh bharat' (clean India), and some rivers being cleared of gunk and garbage.. still a long ways to go but.
