Part magazine, part directory, part media gallery, this is a space for everything that's incredible about India. For the inspiring and the unbelievable, the cutting edge and the traditional, the beautiful and the bizarre. The India Tube is a place for travellers, not for tourists. It's about the insight, not the information. Welcome.
The BRO is talking to you
by Annalisa Merelli
As the name suggests, the Border Road Organisation - better known as BRO - builds and maintains all the roads that run along Indian borders.
The BRO is particularly familiar to those who have travelled along the bone-shaking roads of Ladakh.
All the way to the highest passes in the world, BRO builds motorable roads where you wouldn't even imagine to walk.
And, all along the way, BRO "talks" to drivers and passengers through the most inventive, funny, bizarre hand painted signs.
The India Tube collected a few in this slide show.
Read the transcription of the sign, misspelling included, and if you have more pictures of other BRO signs send them to The Balloon ( This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it ) and they'll be published!
