What about the episode of Top Gear that was shown in the UK that "proved" the Indian Reva electric car (sold in the UK under the name "G-Wiz") to be dangerous by crashing one into what appeared to be a wooden table, completely wrecking the car while the table did not move? Someone who had worked on this episode of the programme later had a guilty conscience and revealed that the table was made of 25mm steel plate veneered to look like wood and was staked in place with steel girders going 1 metre into the ground, and that the BBC had cut through the chassis of the car in several places so that it would collapse more completely.

Is there anybody you love in pakistan, you bomb your own mosque's slit the throat of your own people, kill your own women, try to do the same in afghanistan to distract attention at home..... sick is not the word, sad is the word..... to hate you need a reason, you people need no reason, very sad...drowning in your own vomit.
I totally agree with the author that the show was quite disappointing. BBC probably owes an apology for not being able to utilize this opportunity to build something better. If one tries to compare it to Bostwana or even Vietnam, it completely lacked any ability to hold a viewer or a repeat.
Asking BBC to apologize for anything else shows that Indians just want to keep a closed eye to all our problems and have trouble even when someone else tries to help us realize them.
Having seen most of the said show in bits and pieces online, I must say that most of it is true and that is why it offends us. We indians don't like it when others point out our aberrations. What did the british raj do during their stay in india to improve conditions? Now that is a whole another show.
By the way, Mr.Clarkson should have stopped and check all those breaking traffic rules. I bet 90% would be the self-centered, egoistic and arrogant IT folks in their hyundai santros.
