How One Company Is Showing The Broken India Behind The Public Facade
Part of the reason awareness of major issues in other countries isn't high is because they're not shared enough. Often times to maintain tourist appeal, they're hidden.
When it comes to downplaying or concealing national issues like poverty and pollution, India is one of the best. Sites like Beautiful India give misleading depictions of the country's overall health and wellbeing.
Singapore-based media company Limitless is determined to reveal a fuller picture.
Despite it's staggering recent growth in GDP, India continues to be one of the most impoverished 'developed' countries. According to Poverties.org, nearly 50% of Indians don’t have proper shelter, and roughly 35% of households don’t have a nearby clean water source.
“By bringing Broken India to light, we really wanted to strike a raw nerve,†Limitless told Buzzfeed. “Only when people realise the state of affairs and break out of their comfort zones, is when they can start to make a difference. A bit of negativity is essential for positive change.â€
