Some vested interests always have biased and distorted image of things to offer. Let them be happy and cosy in their shell and earn their bread and butter also by publishing what they feel "it sells".

I think they asked the wrong people.
Last year on July there was a rain which stalled millions of people on the highways and roads. It was the locals who helped people with water and food. You can ask Media and the Govt who could not do any service but create a frenzy by scaring citizens.
Anyone else from Bombay would not have known what Bombayites are. Its the only city where everyone helps every one - i was amazed by that report - May be Rd got it 100% wrong.

well i guess the survey done was 100% a wrong survey or might be the way it says that
' Mumbai ' A rude city ! wat rubbish.
the comparisons made by cities like NY is a pure mess..
just try to compare the city in the place where the etnics and culture is same .....
you cannot find a made-up thank u or Sorry from a mumbaite's mouth.
though it may be true that mumbaite are a bit care free nature...but then wat can you expect from those ppl who are surrounded by almost 1/4 of the population of NYK.
you just cant stop over all the stops and give lift to all by-standers.
sorry but i guess pleasego through the news reports and physco-analysis during the worst night-mare of mumbaite.26th July.2005

the survey was flawed from the very beginning. the parameters used were wrong. they surveyed people in NY in places like Starbucks whereas if poeple from KFC, McDonalds, taco Bell were used the responses wouldve been different.
Secondly, there is a cultural thing which differs from country to country. People in Bombay may not open a door for you or say thank you and please, but will help you when u need help urgently.
Also, Thank yous and pleases from Western countries do not come from the heart.

The value for humans decreases as number of humans increase. Would you be more courteous to a person if there were only 10 people who lived in a village or if there were so many people that you are overwhelmed? In lower populated countries, it is very easy to be courteous to a person if you bump into them, since you dont bump very often. The best way is to live in such a place for a couple of months and compare.

Well, parameters of respect and rudeness vary from culture to culture. It is perfect in USA to call your boss or the elderly neighbour, "Hi Charlie!!". It is extreme rudeness in India (and Mumbai) to address them by their first name. It is perfectly okay to help yourself with the left over of an office lunch, it is not in India. It is ok in USA to climb on a chair with your shoes on to reach the overhead shelf, it is not in India. It is perfectly ok in US to take out your lunch packet or juice bottle and start eating/drinking while talking to a visitor at your desk, in India it is rude, you will wait till he goes or you will offer him to join you.
So, these are cultural differences and cannot be generalised.
