Its insane how the "first world" always perceive "third world". I am not backing India by any means but this thing is blowing out of proportion.

First they talked about South Africa not being able to handle World Cup, now they are talking of India not being able to handle Common Wealth Games. They will speak the same of Brazil in 2014 (WC)and 2016 Olympics. The level of hygiene and service the official from first world country ask from third world is some time unacceptable. They had problem in Germany too, but no one was saying like this. Hand on heart, third world is corrupt, dirty, but the norms they have are different than those living in first world.

I see it as a discrimination from the first word to third world. I will be proud if India can pull it and put a magnificent show. They do it all the time for international cricket and IPL, they will do it this time too.
