New Images of India.

Different View of India: 

Pictures of Indian cities you don't see in overseas media.

In the western media, we often see only one type of Indian image. Crowded, dirty and polluted. 

The pictures would be often taken from random sewage canals and slums. The problem is 

that those underbellies exist in every part of the world. Shanghai can be like this or like this:

This is not to deny that Shanghai and other great world cities have nicer infrastructure than 

the Indian metropolises. It is just that we are seeing things in binary instead of shades of gray. 

Indian cities sure have more than their share of dirtiness. Those are the reality and so are

 the ones below. The problem is that if only one type of pictures are shown it totally distorts the reality. 

Here is the other side. 

Mumbai skyline:

Heart of New Delhi during the parade

The sparkling clean Delhi metro

Heart of Chennai in lush greenery

Chennai's iconic Marina beach

Chennai's southern skyline - 

not as good as other Indian metropolis but getting better

Kochi's aspirations to enter as a Tier-1 Metropolis

Hyderabad center around the Char Minar

Rapidly growing skyline of Hyderabad:

Kolkata - the old capital of India

Kolkata's Vidaysagar Setu

Heart of India's former summer capital - Shimla

Chandigarh: One of India's most planned cities

Gangtok: The serene northeastern city

India is moving. Not one or two cities,

 but the whole nation. By not looking at the pictures

 above we get the distorted view that India is not progressing.
