Always beware of statistics. They are bikinis after all.
Just 33,000 odd people were interviewed over 30 odd countries. Makes that about 1,000 people per country.
Now consider India.
Out of these 33,000 people, about 3,300 (10%) have a negative view and about 7,500 (22/23%) have a positive one.
Now factor in the lowest margin of error - 2.5%. That makes about 4,100 negatives and 6,700 positives. This difference of 2,600, about 8%, is hardly any cause for comfort and cheer.
As far as India is concerned, this survey means nothing.
