Yes, one would have to agree that rubber-necking is prevalent here in India, where any excuse to drop everything & gawp at an accident is almost considered a birth-right ! But it would be foolish to generalize, I've seen several incidents where the public have taken it upon themselves to help those who are hurt. I don't think we as Indians are apathetic, & for a country without 911, 24-hour emergency services, & flying ambulances, I think we do pretty well...

And Madan, I too agree with your observation, frustrating as they are when they co-habit the road, auto drivers seem to be the ones most willing to help those hurt in an accident - in my limited experience at least
