"India's moral and political failings" don't sound any worse than the 
USA's.  Nothing to write home about.

More urgent would be India's culinary failings.  Indian food is like 
Italian food gone horribly, horribly wrong.  It's like somebody lost 
the cookbook before they got to the part about how much of which spices 
and herbs to use, or before they found out that cauliflower is supposed 
to be an *ingredient* in the dish, not the dish itself.  Somebody 
should rescue those people.
