What's the background on this? They're demolishing a temple to make way for a bypass?

chvvkumar · February 13th, 2008, 04:22 PM

AFAIK, they built a temple on the road. The Court had ordered its demolition which was being carried out by those officials.

That's some solid planning ahead right there.

This is India we're talking about, I'm surprised they weren't riding them. images/smilies/wink.gif

We should have cars riding like that in Europe. You run someone over, he ends up under your car and everything's fine. images/smilies/biggrin.gif

^ The ground clearance of that car almost puts my Discovery to shame. Almost. images/smilies/cool.gif

That's pretty brutal!

Also, that's classified as a higway in India?!?

You misspoke, I fixed it for you.

Ugh, that's a chilling video. I can't believe stuff like this still happens so much in India. And in Tamil Nadu as well. Haven't they seen enough of Super Star's films to know what's right from wrong. images/smilies/tongue.gif

Man in India if you can make a road wide enough to fit a car a bike and 2 people (1 on either end) you can call it a highway images/smilies/tongue.gif

Yeah it's pretty badass, but its just an ambassador car. It's like being hit by a VW Beetle's ancestor with a V2 engine that chucks out 0.5 bhp. Nah I'm only joking, that's pretty bad no matter what the car is. Surprising as well, I wouldn't expect our guys to go bollywood IRL. And Gman, don't fret man. I'm Tamilian and I know there's nothing wrong with the place I was born images/smilies/tongue.gif

. Don't worry about it bro images/smilies/smile.gif

...some of my best mates are from tamil nadu. Just where I've been in India, people seem to consider Tamil Nadu (Chennai excluded) the boonies. Karnataka ftmfw.

Haha, so true. But in reality there'd be a bus, an auto-rickshaw, a half a dozen bikes and a few pedestrians abreast on the same road. images/smilies/tongue.gif
