I thought it was South India., just because it is so very green.

As for the crowding thing, I was having a laugh my friend. I actually find the scene heartwarming, it's a subcontinent thing. something we have always seen.

Wait what? I was being serious here.
Wherever India is better than us I agree with it upfront and don't try to ridicule minor mistakes.

Only race that Pak-India should do is development race and not arms race.
