Answer
Yes I am surprised. India can and should do much better. During the British raj, the British may claim to have colonised India for a while, but the Indians may claim rather more that they civilised the British and taught them to wash!
Now, Indians are teaching the British the art of shopkeeping, film making, making cars, and fixing computers. There is a fine temple, a fine mosque, and a fine gurdwara in London.
It seems by the news reports coming out of there that the games has brought on the very worst aspects of Indian life, such as the corruption, the shoddiness, the disregard for human welfare at every level from the babies of the building workers to the top foreign athletes... added to this the very worst attitudes of international corporatism, where corporate hospitality at vast expense pushes aside the very folk required to run a city, rather than run up a bank balance.
And my heart most of all goes out to the hawkers, who are considered security risks and ordered out without compensation. To any foreigner, one of the most potent images of India are the streets lined with colourful people dressed in colourful clothes prepared to provide you with anything your heart desires at a fraction of the cost back home. India is not India without its noise and bustle and its chaotic Bombay mix of fakirs, sari sellers, mango growers, phone fixers, its beautiful long-haired dark-eyed women and its enterprising children.
It would have been better to hold the games in some village, where it would have been cheaper, and the organisers could afford to move much fewer villagers to the outskirts, but with first pick of the hawker stalls servicing those attending the games.
I would be interested to see if their gods can pluck triumph from the jaws of shame. I hope rather that the whole world's priorities will shift at last away from grand prestigious projects stuffed full of corruption, appalling abuse of power, mis-spending of scarce public money, and this horrible Free Market Lifestyle corporate ethic that sucks goodness and functionality and replaces it with a millionaire bling stylishness that is at last seen worldwide for the shamefulness and wastefulness it represents.
Maybe there is something after all the Indians can teach the British, as they prepare for the London Olympics in 2012?
