Why is India so Incredibel?

For my husband and I, India is a great place. We have lived here for the better part of the last 8 years, and have come to deeply understand what a backwards place it sometimes is. For example, if there is a major rainstorm, the city cuts the power off...as a preventative measure and doesn't turn it back on until hours after the rain has stopped. At the railroad tracks, the barriers come down for a train, and after the train has passed by the barriers stay down because there is another train coming...after 10 minutes. I have been stuck at the train tracks on the way to the village Radha Kunda for 40 minutes once because there were 5 trains in a row (with nearly 10 minute intervals between them!)

It has often crossed my mind that in any other country (read here: any "normal" country) the citizens would freak out and protest such "inconveniences" but here the people quietly sit back, buy some peanuts and crack the shells as they wait. I have come to understand that peanut cracking (and throwing the shells all over the place) seems to be an Indian national pastime. The guys often selling the peanuts don't yell "peanuts for sale!" they yell "time pass"...go figure.

There is a tendency for Indians to just sit quietly without questioning authority in circumstances that would make any average citizen of America pull out a shot gun and head to their local post office. On the other hand however, Indians have an uncanny ability to create major riots over nothing. Almost every week there are riots somewhere in India...

The point I am trying to make here is that India is a place that is very poorly organized, and full of corruption. That is a fact. There are however, some things that make India downright funny. We have been talking for years about collecting pictures of misspellings that we find all over the place. That is always something that you can count on in India. There is a tendency for most signs to be written in English, however most of the sign painters are uneducated guys who don't speak it at all, but have simply mastered painting the letters...which often leads to things like this:
