If you've been to India, you'd see it's much closer to anarchy than the US. There's almost no respect for the law. Car drivers don't even pull over to the side of a road to let cop cars with flashing lights go by. At train stations people sell fake tickets from scam booths, and can do so for months or years because they bribe the police or are ignored.
Please don't take my word for it, research but yourself, crime is rife and in your face. Even crime of a sexual nature. Turn the corner from gleaming skyscrapers and there is poverty, real people washing clothes and cooking utensils in sewage. Huge tech centres for the big outsourcing companies are literally across the road from slums.
