Have been using this portal for a year or two and what surprises me is the number of fatalities in bus accidents in India and the like. Some weeks it seems like 50-odd people die a day in a bus accident in that part of the world. We had a 10 fatality bus accident here in Aus recently and it was "the worst road accident in decades". Pretty awful that it happens almost routinely elsewhere.

Life is very cheap in India. Things like bus crashes, people falling off trains due to overcrowding don't even make the local news because they is always something worse and 'sensational' that grabs headlines more: https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/jaipur/raped-rajast...

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Upvoting to cancel out unwarranted downvotes. I don't share the political bent of the cited source but the answer is on-topic, to the point, and well within the Overton Window.

It's a fair and honest response, but it's also fair to call out that it's super skewed. I personally would not recommend it as a good source of news.

What would you consider a good source?
