"As a former citizen of India, I'm wondering if they were finalyl able to get running water to my grandfather's village...."
So why dont you something for your village to help out your grandpa instead of criticising India. At least that way you can make yourself useful than what you are and also repay some debts you owe to your former motherland. It too easy to pass sermons to your former countrymen on what they should or shouldnt do sitting half the world away with all the personal comforts and luxury.
And if you cant do anything at least tell your grandpa to get the hell outta that village and go to some place that has running water. There are plenty of places in India that has running water. And if you cant do that either then just shut the hell up!
touched a nerver, did we?? i could care less if that third world pirec of shit country had running water..it aint my business...it's there's...i was commented on how countries like that allocate resources...
Incidentally, while I was born in India, we left when I was a year...I don't have to give anything back to that shit hole...
