What's this?

What part of India?

I have been a couple of times to Mumbai and New Delhi, would never want to drive in Mumbai, crazy traffic. It is amazing there are so few accidents when all the cars are literally inches away from each other. New Delhi was better and slightly more normal, but still not something I would suggest without having driven a manual transmission in so long.

Only advice I can give - don't try to re-learn driving a manual transmission in India.
