Sibi George says outsiders misunderstand India
George emphasized that outsiders often miss the scale and complexity of India.
He called out selective NGO reports for giving a skewed view and said, "People have no understanding of the scale of India" and "They read, you know, one or two news reports published by some godforsaken, ignorant NGOs and then come and ask questions."
