Ask yourselves an interesting question , when was the last time there was a fatal airline crash in India and in the USA , your answer is right there.
Nothing like being able to show a stunning lack of comprehension for both history and statistics all in one sentence, is there?

More practically, anyone who has had experience with the safety oversight in both jurisdictions is well aware of the many shortcomings of the DGCA. The safety of aviation in India would be far better served if those weaknesses were openly acknowledged and change was demanded by those within Indian aviation instead of having to rely on the actions of other countries regulators to get the job done.

Chucking stones at the FAA just because you don't like their message is just the sort of reflexive nationalism that seems, at times, to have held back India on a number of fronts.
