Sri Lanka is a tad cleaner than India, and there's no doubt about that. Let me just say this - I've seen slums in Colombo (diversion from the main road leading up from mt. Lavinia to Colombo proper), had my so-called highly paid driver try to steal from me in Unawatuna, had the tourism police keep their fair share of my money (read: steal); I've had the so-called "big spenders" of Kandy and Colombo ask me, the Indian, to pay for not one, not two, not even three, but about 5 meals (with drinks). Then there was a random chick (in Hikkaduwa) who befriended me, and then asked me for a couple of thousand. Bunch o' thieves I tell you, but in all fairness, i shouldve known better. Negombo had two power cuts during the three days that I spent in the place. I've been to your country multiple times, and have seen how the majority of your population lives, so spare me the rant. Be respectful - India has a long way to go, and we're the first to acknowledge it, but for the love of the planet, do not think of yourself the way you do.
Look at the context that he replied to.. Though I personally don't condone the over the top retort.. But may be you should also advise your compatriots on respect
Delhi, bangalore get 24*7 electricity i know since i lived here. Most of state capitals get 24*7 electricity and power situation is lot better down south. In gujarat even villages also get 24*7 electricity. Please don't compare yr country with India with we are beyond yr league.
BTW I have also travelled to India numerous times.. But wont post a comparison report because it wont serve a purpose.. Travel forums are anyways full of them if anyone cares to search.. You though may not find them amusing
