India and Bangladesh are 2 countries I am certain I will never visit as I don't see them improving at all
in fact, India has regressed in the last 17 years due to exploding population and infrastructure that is middle ages still (no sewers, people shitting in fields, no waste management) and street food that will guarantee you diarrhea
and I love when they dump bodies in holy rivers to rot away and be eaten by giant catfish..
also while traveling through SI Asia, Indians were the only rude bunch I came across
no tnx.
Do the loclas really have those funny accents like they do hear? I've been told that they do those accents here just to fuck with white people!
Is life as cheap as we've been lead to believe?
Do they really wipe their asses after taking a shit with their hands, like a bunch of filthy primates?
how many tiger attacks have you had to evade?
Them curries tasty?

There was something in the news about the Indian govt banning cow slaughterhouses and many Muslims losing their jobs because of it.

Had a particularly harrowing experience myself when our driver realized he had missed his turnoff (we were on their equivalent of a highway) and flipped around into oncoming traffic. We drove back down the lane we had been on for maybe half a mile until he found the turn. It was absolutely insane. Just horrifying, horrifying, horrifying.In a short couple weeks I saw every rule you can think of being broken. One of my favorites was the guy who must have missed his turn and decided to back up about an 1/8th of a mile rather than circle around. People just got out of his way. Plus the variety of shit on the road. Cars, trucks, bikes, scooters, rickshaws and whatever else you can think of all operating on the same roads. I swear a couple vehicles looked homemade.

Had my driver passing a car on a bridge while a truck was passing a truck coming the other way. Definitely had visions of death.
Why are cows treated better than people? (not that cows aren't awesome).
Did you get to the see the cars overtaking the car that's overtaking another car ? All on a two lane road.
The cow may be touted as a sacred animal in India and you will see them roaming around freely pretty much everywhere you go but Indias leather industry is huge and the reality is behind the scenes they are treated like shit

how smelly is it ts? Can't imagine the stench of over a billion unshowered individuals who don't believe in deodorant. Especially in a climate like that.
