India - Summary 1: The infrastructure

(A shot from an auto rickshaw)

I have to first mention the infrastructure: the roads, the transportation system, the buildings, and so forth. The infrastructure represents the level of civilization of the nation, I believe. In the sense, I needed to take a close look at the infrastructure during this trip.

In conclusion, the infrastructure has a broad room to improve. Someone says that India needs around 20 years to hold Olympics in the nation. I suppose he is right. The city, Bangalore, is one of the most advanced cities in the nation, but the level of the infrastructure is much less developed than the others, like Tokyo, New York, and Beijing.

The roads should be further developed. Certainly, the roads are getting more and more paved, but more highways and more good roads should be constructed. The transportation system is somehow devastating in terms of the level of industrialization. Auto rickshaws should be driven in a safer way. Buildings and houses should be built in a more contemporary way.

I, however, felt that the time is coming. I mean that I saw the brilliant new Bengaluru Airport, I saw several big buildings, I saw a good highway on the way to the airport. The people are heading for the place that any developed countries touched. I believe again that the time will come.
