Trying Days in Mumbai (1 Letter)
To the Editor:
Re Indias Indestructible Heart, by Naresh Fernandes (Op-Ed, July 12):
The mostly poor people of Mumbai deserve the admiration of the world.
On business in Mumbai last summer, I was caught in the disastrous 26/7 flood. Along with hundreds of thousands of locals, I spent the night stranded among the mostly submerged buses and cars. That day, the streets remained calm, even friendly, in the midst of horrible devastation and general government absence. It is no surprise that we witnessed such resilience and civility again this week.
