Indians ridiculing India?

I came across this article in "The NY times" today and felt very bad. It was written by an Indian, sadly, he chose to write of India's (so-called)downfall and some of the reasons he gives are way too trivial.

First of all, I wouldn't prefer to give the article such a topic - "Uncompromising practicality could be India's downfall". Downfall? All of us know India is growing in leaps and bounds.

Changing lanes at will, jumping traffic lights, clinging on to the train doors, are these even reasons?

Corruption(more among politicians, the whole nation isn't corrupt) is an ongoing problem and the awareness among the people has increased, which is evident from the recent Assembly election results, where there is a change in Government in many of the states.

I think we tend to do this sometimes - generalize the exceptions. That is what is done here. How fair is it to take a few examples, and then apply it to "all Indians"?

Which country in the world would not have such problems/people? Somehow, a lot of us take pride in calling India bad. I haven't much heard much from people of other countries, talking ill of their own nations.

Time to think..... Jai Hind!
