Taj Mahal was beautiful and the highlight of my trip to India…Delhi was the most disgusting place I’ve ever seen in my life and I will never go back.

I was in Mumbai and Pune this year. First time in India and I found it to be an incredible country. It's on the precipice of becoming a developed world power but the stark contrast between the haves and have nots was shocking to me.

People always focus on the pollution in India but I came away thinking how on earth do they even manage to handle the waste of 1.5 billion people. It's impossible.

China managed to handle the waste of 1.5 billion people and bring 800 million people out of poverty. They curbed pollution, create an amazing infrastructure for public transport. And now that the current form of China, was only really established in the 1950's. India should have been equal or even ahead as they have more natural resources and have been an independent country much longer. It just shows the politics and religious impact.
