People drive in a little more civilized way.
When you delve deeper into the culture as a whole, you see a lack of respect for human life, including a mistreatment of women. This is not that all surprising when you remember that animals are worshiped in Hinduism, and in most cases are treated better than beggars. I have never witnessed humans in such despair and hopelessness as I did in India. I think to a large degree this comes from the teaching that death and suffering over long periods of time are unchangeable and thus natural. Now the world news about the earthquake has once again exposed the world to India's impoverished condition.
