Meelon hum aagaye, meelon hume jaana hai (We've come a long way, a long way we'll go)

#1. School age children running a makeshift shoemaker's shop -- on the sidewalk.

#2. A preteen boy -- starving -- in shabby clothes -- most probably an orphan -- begging.

#3. A vendor with a diabetic foot -- his lower legs about to be amputated.

#4. An autorickshaw driver -- alcoholic -- banished from his home -- he is estranged from his wife, obviously -- living on the streets.

#5. Government hospitals -- Callous doctors and administrative staff -- Red tape -- Thriving bribery culture -- Babuism.

And, so on ad infinitum.
