Overnight? India was supposed to be educated way
before anyone in the west. They had advanced
sanitation systems in Harrappa and Mohenjadaro.

Since colonial days India has been independant since
1947? I wonder what Kevin's concept of "overnight"

I'm not sure how AIDS snuck into a discussion of the
general lack in India of civic sense and consideration
for neighbors and public spaces, but does Kevin

it without engaging in risky behavior?
