The Golden Quadrilateral
In typical New York Times international columns fashion, a fantastic, yet just a little-bit condescending feature on India's most ambitious infrastructure project to date - The Golden Quadrilateral. A map of this project. A snap-shot of the status, as of the end of September.
For all the condescension that I may have detected in that write-up, I also noticed an under-current of wishful thinking on the part of the writer, that maybe we Indians should not sprint entirely down the exact path that the West has taken and maybe pause, just a bit.

Also look at this
photo essay. The roads look really good. Takes a bit of time to load.
Take a look at the Rajasthan national highway - virtually empty!! - makes me wonder if all the money spent on building those roads could not have been used for something that Rajasthanis really need. Well hopefully they will make use of it anyway.
