The Environment of India's Silicon Valley Capital Bangalore - a few pictures


2.10.2015

Dear friends,

On Mahatma Gandhi's birthday anniversary, I would not write too much. Just a quote. He wrote in 1928:

"The economic imperialism of a single tiny island kingdom [Britain] is keeping the world in chains. If an entire nation of 300 million took to similar economic exploitation, it would strip the world bare like locusts."

And, in a sort of corroboration, I offer a few pictures of India's Silicon Valley capital Bangalore. This is only a part of the price a Third World country pays for getting richer and getting more populous simultaneously. India's current population is roughly 1.3 billion.
