This was the biggest thing that caught my eye. Not the last 50 years or 10 years, but this year. Wow.

That's because they've had train incidents that have killed hundreds.

List of Indian railway accidents.

Exactly what border are you under the impression we share with India?

I'm not sure you totally grasp the concept of "open borders"?

Do you think India has a lawyer standing on a train in his commercials like we have the 18 wheeler guy? “Have you been hit by a train? Call Mohinder & Mohinder. We’ll make them pay out of the caboose.”

I was in India on a business trip once and I picked up an English paper reading through the headlines. One story was about deaths on the railway. I can't remember the exact number but this was in August and it mentioned over 1.5k people had died on the railway in Mumbia so far that year.

I'd hate living in a place with so many people that everyone is crammed together.


I spent 6 months in Mumbai a few years ago and you can not even begin to imagine how many people are in that city or the population desity.

The city of Mumbai is a bit less than half the size of East Baton Rouge Parish but contains the combined population of LA, AL, MS, AR, and OK.
