Yes but is there sufficient evidence to support the fact that living in India exposes it's citizens equal to or lesser than the susceptibility of electrocution than the median of all countries?...

England uses overhead power transmission on the rail network and on high-tension pylons in rural settings but nowhere in an urban context.

One company, BT, has overhead phone lines in English towns and cities. I wish they were gone, they're an eyesore.

Everything else in this country's buried underground.

The impressive thing about a system like that in the photo is that the locals understand how to make it work, it makes a perfect training ground for front-line telephone technical support staff. Nobody I know would dare work on a distribution system like that.

This is the Intersection of 28th and Ingersoll in Midtown Des Moines, for example. If anyone's ever seen those things that look like small oil drums half way up a pole like the one on the right, they're power line capacitors. As the page the photo comes from says, "Plans are underway to redo the streetscape at this intersection, which may include burying the power lines". I expect third world countries have similar ambitions as they get more resources. Burying power and communications lines costs more in existing (as opposed to green field) locations.

What's equally as impressive is how it's gotten that way to begin with...

In the suburbs of the US, they are now burying them underground. You would never know these people have electricity.

And luckily for them, those pix were taken right after their extensive renovation to "streamline" things! :wah:

Whatever one gets used to is what one thinks is normal. That's how people put up with things.

Was that sarcasm? Are you deliberately trying to start a fight on the board?

More people have been killed through communal violence between religious groups in India than in any other country on earth. Consider partition if nothing else, though God knows there's been enough killing there since between Muslim, Hindu and Christian. Would you like a list of the major riots?

I do apologise for the opening post though, it was extraordinarily insensitive small-town straw-sucking bigotry.
