Is India really a "third world" country?


Take the example of New Orleans vs. Mumbai


Inches of rain in New Orleans due to hurricane Katrina... 18

Inches of rain in Mumbai (July 27th).... 37.1



Population of New Orleans... 484,674

Population of Mumbai.... 12,622,500



Deaths in New Orleans within 48 hours of Katrina...100

Deaths in mumbai within 48hours of rain.. 37



Number of people to be evacuated in New Orleans... entire city..wohh

Number of people evacuated in Mumbai...10,000



Cases of shooting and violence in New Orleans...Countless

Cases of shooting and violence in Mumbai.. NONE



Time taken for US army to reach New Orleans... 48hours

Time taken for Indian Army and Navy to reach Mumbai...12hours



STATUS:

48 hours later...New Orleans is still waiting for relief, army and electricity


48 hours later. Mumbai is back on its feet and is business is as usual



USA...world's most developed nation

India...third world country..


Now, you judge for yourself...Is India really a third world country??
