Note the workers dress.
Muslims can eat cow meat which Hindus can not.
This can cause clashes in the streets which never end well.

Both the British and the Chinese were working to improve this hazardous road.
I wonder how this road is today?

Notice positioning of the sentient beings on the or near the road.
The cows KNOW they are safe and take their time as this is Hindu India
The children know that human life is not as sacred so they beware.

 This Ashram I visited with my wife (the psychiatrist ex wife which was a bit of heaven as opposed to the bit of hell my second ex-wife introduced to me through threat of abortion)

 The ashram was wonderful and became the backdrop for the Prayer part of
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0879870/  [Eat, Pray, Love: One Woman's Search for Everything Across Italy, India and Indonesia is a 2006 memoir by American author Elizabeth Gilbert.]

I was surprised how well the movie grasped the atmosphere of this particular real ashram in Ganeshpuri....where everyone smiled no matter what and non encouraging words were quickly dispelled.Where the visitors desperately wanted to see the blue light in their meditations and those who did and even did not, boasted how enlightened they were for having accomplished such. I had my deepest meditation in this heavenly part of India where one could actually drink the water straight from the shower nozzle with no fear of illness.
