The Indian roads.


India is the land of tradition, custom, culture and various civilization mixed together. They all form the intricate pattern beyond imagination. but pattern so beautiful and practically functional that, in day to day affair one may not find any problem in their applicability.
But, all this would not have taken place if there would have been no roads in India. This worlds seventh largest country would have come to halt. i know one will argue that any country would have come to halt, but not like India. In India these are not only the dead roads but a living legend in itself.
This road only take the passenger to his destination, but if given a close look, also indicate the social aspect of it. All different and unequal, yet so close with each other. There would have been no "dilli Chalo" if there would have been no roads. Politics, the soul of Indian life, would have never survived. If there have been no roads, how the contractors and politicians would had ever succeed in buildings huge meson and industries. On which basis votes were begged.
If there would have been no roads, who would have ever been able to guess the power that one hold. Better the road, more costly the land price of the houses near by it and as more the money more the power. thus roads in India are even indicator of power and richness.
If there would have been no roads, even the foreign automobile manufacturers would not have been able to develop cheap, durable and yet cool looking machines. Thus a bit, Indian roads had again contributed in the economical development.
If there had been no roads, "chakka jam" was not at all possible, common people would had never been able to catch the governments eye easily.
People would had never been able to express their rage, happiness etc. if there would had been no roads. Thus, it will be a stupidity to neglect the road, they are dead, materially, but alive abstractly.
