Crazy eco-system ... That's why we Indians don't change ... Daily constitutional on the roads & rail tracks and encourage animals all around... Farms have been destroyed by stray cattle and yet we are cheeky about all this ...

We know that feeling since you get to see *only pigs* in England. Variety is good right?

all you are seeing is the after-effects of looting India for 200 years during the British reign. We have yet not recovered from that past. what more do you expect ? now the result is in front of you what we have been dealing with ever since

As @KP24 would tell you, there is amazing wildlife in national parks.

1 horned rhinos in Assam, Royal Bengal Tigers in various states, Asiatic Lions, snow leopards etc.
You would also see peacocks on buildings during monsoon.
