Nepal Earthquake: Is India prepared?

Some say it will take decades to rebuild Nepal, especially because the amount of aid needed to do so is larger than the gross domestic product (GDP) of the country, reports India Today.

According to the article, experts are rueful of the fact that India is totally unprepared. "We are building more high-rises on steep inclines even in the Himalayas," says M.L. Sharma, Seismologist and Head of Department, Earthquake Engineering, IIT-Roorkee. Seismologist Gahalaut says, "Indians believe that earthquakes happen to other people".
