The standard of ATC, by pilots and contollers, the lack of any organisation or system, horrendous runway conditions, multiple useless stamps while you pass an army of uniformed muppets in the terminal, the awful traffic disregarding any rules or even common sense,useless hotel staff, I could go on and on.
India today is clearly a dysfunctional society, with religious fatalism, out-of-control demographics, lethal pollution paired with corruption of epic dimensions.
You are absolutely right. Many of those pilots and controllers have gone through the poorest of training one could ever think of.
All this comes down to two main reasons - corruption and population which has gone completely out of hand. Someone tries to change the system and the system crushes you. We take pride in facts such as the 2nd largest army in the world, one of the fastest growing economies, one of the biggest consumer markets....but we all know, there's a lot more than these facts. And frightening too.
We'll leave that aside for now and focus on the thread.
