Major sea ports India India...

India has two seashores on East and West having 10 large and 200 small and middle-sized seaports. Besides, there are many islands, which are proximal to other countries than Indian mainland. In East Andaman and Nicobar islands are more proximal to Thailand and Indonesia and in West Lakshdweep and Minikoy islands lie in neighbourhood of Maldives and Mauritius. All these countries have very good relations with India. Almost 90% of India's foreign trade is done by sea route with support of many of these neighbours. To meet a large transport requirement India possesses enough merchant vessels, which can carry goods worth 600,000 GRT (Gross Register Tonnage). Besides, India also hires foreign merchant vessels for sea transport to carry extra 150,000 GRT per annum. Kandla, Mumbai, Chennai, Vishakhapatanam and Kolkata are busiest ports on Indian seacoast today

Yep, a very long way to go. In fact, light years. Just check below:

India is mainly a big slum with no proper hygiene or infrastructure in place despite the so-called economic boom. The few rich are f i l t h y rich and the majority of the poor cannot even afford two meals a day. This is the reality about India. Just posting a few pictures of posh shopping centres won't change the reality.
