I just watched a movie about India where it showed things like people casually getting run over by trains (To the point where workers had to peel bodies off the front of the train in between runs), and the horrors of ‘little city’ India. Is it really that bad?

I wish I could say it isn’t… but it generally is. I would not wish living in India, or dealing with Indians in their native country, on anyone. What you watched was probably a bit on the extreme side, but it is absolutely true that India is not a safe country for most things. This is a country that spent millions of rupees trying to teach people not to shit in the streets. You have to have a very messed-up culture, that places very little value on the basics of human life, to be in a situation like that.

There are over 100K train-related deaths in India per year, generally speaking, and while the safety record has improved, it is still pretty awful. To put things into perspective, that is the size of a small European city dying out, every single year.

And that is before we get to the awful statistics about rape, female infanticide and sex-selective abortion (which is still a thing in India, despite being VERY illegal), and violent crimes.

The second question is… Is the Halo TV show worth watching?

Nope. Master Chief takes off his helmet all the time in that show – which, by definition, means it is not HALO. It is SOMETHING, to be sure, but it is not my beloved HALOverse. And that is on top of the severe and repeated violations of canon that the show repeatedly commits.

I have not watched any of its episodes, and have no intention whatsoever to start doing so now.
