Come on...If they used propane to make fire and not just paper, they might not have that problem. They should build a big whole and dump them in there, cover it up after a few months and cultivate vegetables.

I lament for the sad state of Indian body-burning tech.

Yeah you'd think being a religious thing they'd have it down pat.

Re burning bodies.
Actually the cremation process does not incinerate the bones. The bones are beaten into ash in something that's a lot like an industrial strength dryer.

That's it? I lament India as a whole. I'm not racist, but I hate India. They dont give a shlt about anything. Why are they 1 of 2 countries that did not sign the treaty to have no for CFC in spray cans to prevent the destruction of the ozone lair? Why dont they dispose of their garbage properly, why are their air pollution standards so low, why the hell are they still making kids so much!!! Haven't these people ever heard of condoms?! And now all the jobs are being transfered in India...especially call centers for customer support. Have you ever tried calling there?! These people cant even speak english properly!Originally posted by VetLegion

In other words, don't blame brown people; blame black people.

I'm not blaming a color, I'm blaming a way of life. And in mali uganda and Nigeria, who cares if they have high birth rates, they all have AIDS.

Seeing as the social class you are lamenting is to a large extent westernised, I would suggest that what you are witnessing is a malaise and lack of self-confidence in the western world generally.Originally posted by aneeshm
There is no fire in their belly . They have no constructive goal in life , no driving force , no desire to leave a mark on history , to even be part of something which will leave a mark on history . They have no desire for immortality .
For example, people are de-politicised to the extent of cynicism, and of those remaining interested, so few have the sanitised, squeeky-clean personal lives that are demanded, that they dare not run for office because of fear of some scandal.
I can't speak for India, but I see too many people who measure achievement by a sign on the door, or a job title, or a salary level, rather than actually doing something that made a genuine difference. People feel entitled to the esteem of success as if it was some kind of 'human right' rather than something to actually work for and earn.
I do worry that these days there's a tendancy to quit a difficult task at the first sign of getting "stressed out" by it. I wonder if that is the lack of backbone you are referring to.

I'm interested in finding those examples of wonderful infrastructure that aneeshm thinks our older generation built for us (the ones we're taking apart bit by bit).

You wanted to compare total output of pollution. Of course a country with twenty times the population as those three countries is going to pollute more in gross figures.
But anyways. Would you care to present actual statistics showing that India is one of the worst polluters?
