And before you tell me I don't know what I'm talking about I spent enough time in India to know that all the Indian 'It used to be like that but it's better now' crowd are lying for the sake of national pride.
Just like all the Americans who keep saying we're the best country in the world. Somehow they're always stumped when I ask them, "By what metric?".
