NYT's India Highway Series 

I had linked to the first of Amy Waldman's stories from the Golden Quadrilateral a couple of days back. The 4-part series is now complete. The second part was on India's car boom, the third part on the spread of AIDS via the highway system, and the series concluded with a piece on migration to cities. I wish Amy Waldman had spent more time on the highway system itself and less on the standard India stereotypes, but it still remains a fantastic series and I have to wonder why we have to read this in the New York Times and not in an Indian newspaper. Do check out the interactive multimedia section that accompanies this series as well.
