Well, this is a new one. Although there are a lot of monkeys in India, and with deforestation, I guess it seems probable that they could be driven into cities.

Oh, I was under the impression that since India has such a huge population and some major cities, that it wasn't third world.

Thats because it's based on economic development, not population factors.

I was going to say, if India is not a third world country, it's gotta be at least 2 and 9/10ths.

India is very third world. I was learning about India not too long ago in school.

They hire people to wheel them around in mobiles, in a carriage like theme.

To hire one of these people would cost you seven ruppees. (India's money exchange I guess)

They don't eat meat since most of the country is of the Hindu religion.

And they have very few cars in most parts of the country.

Yep! Sounds pretty third world to me!
