Comment Re:Why not more rail? (Score 1) 278
India already has a decent railway network and it working fine. Most of india is covered by railway. Also, India's road network is really really bad and needs some major overhauling. It is good to have good alternatives e.g. if i want to save money I will take a train, if i want convenience I will drive and if i want to save time then I will take a flight(you can witness a bigger boom in domestic aviations market in India).
Regarding your second comment about energy problem, I would like to mention that electricity too needs to be generated by using some other form of energy (Oil,Hydro, Nuclear etc). So doing it one way or the other, energy problem is not helped. To solve that too I hope our Govt. is doing something. May be our American frnds wont like it, but I am not surprised that this highway project and the idea of a pipeline from Iran to India started at around the same time. So in my opinion Govt. is doing the right thing. And then I cann't forget the nuclear helping hand that we recently got from Americans. Thx folks.
An Indian as desired by you:-)
