***I have been to India and run in a few places there, all the stereotypes about the country exist for good reason.
what stereotypes? Can you share some examples?
Horrible place. Dirt poor people living in ditches. Filth- everywhere. Washing their faces and laundry in the same water that they just did their morning poop in. Starving people- everywhere. Massive class divide.
This comes from a nurse's perspective in two separate medical trips- once to Bihar and once to Madhya Pradesh. Poor Americans don't have internet. Poor Indians don't have a shirt or bed.
