is most of India fairly filthy looking?

[FelixDeCat]

Too much pollution in Han China.

One of the big issues in India is they don't believe in the concept of a toilet or plumbing. You go in other 3rd world countries and they still have a designated area to poop and pee in and they want to contain it outside of their living quarters. In India if you have to poop, you just do it wherever you're sitting now. It's completely normal.

oh sweet baby jesus!!!

Last time I checked, all countries have designated areas to defecate and urinate, it's called the toilet.

I know two couples that have recently traveled to India. Both said they saw people stop to squat and poop in the road, then walk away like it was nothing. They both had several occasions where they felt extremely uncomfortable because groups of men would hover and leer at the wives.

India seems to have very few redeeming qualities.

If you based your opinion of the U.S. based on some friends tales of a walk through the bottoms of Mobile Alabama, we might not seem to have too many redeeming qualities either.

About the Campaign

Close to 594 million which is 48 per cent of population in India practices open defecation. That’s half the population dumping over 65 million kilos of poo out there every day.

If this poo continues to be let loose on us, there will be no escaping the stench of life threatening infections, diseases and epidemics.

Think about it. Half the population doesn’t use a toilet while the other half of the population accepts it. We simply accept India as it is. We are part of the issue, part of the acceptance.

So, if you give a shit about this issue, then don’t just scrunch up
your nose and walk away.

Join the ‘Take Poo to the Loo’ campaign and pledge your support to a poo-free nation.

You may join this campaign by signing a personal pledge that will reach the Hon’ble President of India.

Every time you and your friends take the pledge, you signal your intolerance towards an India that accepts open defecation to none other than the Hon’ble President of India.

Edit: I don't think I need to do the Googling for anyone about the rape culture of India.

My point still stands.

I'm calling BS, even animals know not to poop where they live. I don't see how one of the oldest civilization in the world wouldn't have this figured out by now. How long were you in India for that your formed this opinion?

 

[doubledeluxe]

Have spent two months in India. Never saw open shitting. You guys make it out like all the bad things are just all out in the open to see. India has extreme poverty but it also has extreme wealth and beauty.

I had my clothes washed in the Ganges. Never in my life have I smelled such horror. So yes they have some issues. However if you went to India and saw people shitting in the streets you must have been in a really bad area. I have seen that in other countries but I was in refugee camps where the UN and other organizations were offering aid.

 

[Humpy]

I guess so.

It would be pretty ignorant to base an opinion of a state or country on the word of just a few people just as the reputation of places like Alabama and India doesn't come from the word of only a few people.

1) I had that happen to me in Downtown LA right across the street from the Museum of Contemporary Art. Not limited to India, just poor people with no options.

2) No denying that.

LOL. Look into it a little before calling BS.

My point was that the U.S. or, all of Alabama, isn't represented by a really bad area. Likewise India.

If Humpty's source is accurate, then yes, a lot of India is like that. A couple that I'm good friends with recently spent a month in India. They were at a new hotel that was being constructed and had pictures of where Indians had squatted and pooped on the floor in the bathroom, rather than use the new-fangled toilet thing.

I'd agree that the root of the problem in India is lack of toilets and infrastructure. Still, reality is what it is.

Maybe, but my anecdotal evidence does not match the perception. They would at least go into the shrubs to defecate, and not shit in the middle of their slum housing.

I mean if you look at the root cause of many rape cases, they even say the cause is because woman don't have toilets so they gotta go into the fields to go to the restroom where they get raped (according to western media? dunno)

*******, India (AP) — The two teenage girl cousins had walked out together at night, as they did every night, into the wild bamboo fields 10 or 15 minutes from their mud-and-straw huts to relieve themselves. Like millions of families across India, they had no toilet at home.

In the dark, they were attacked, gang-raped and killed. The assailants then hung their bodies from a mango tree in their village.

Beyond highlighting the rampant sexual violence in India, last week's horrific crime is drawing attention to a glaring problem across the country that threatens women's safety: the lack of toilets.

[Humpy]

I should say that I believe the people in India are smart enough to get some distance away from their living area to relieve themselves. In the large swaths of rural area most have this luxury. In the more cramped areas they obviously wouldn't.

In my 4 trips to India I have never seen a person shitting in public.

your not looking.

53% of the population deficates in public.

Ebola would wipe out india.

defecate in public =/= defecate where you live/where you are/in the middle of the street.

Saw lots of people peeing into random fields and shit, for instance. Nobody peed in the middle of the street.

I'm going again next month. I'll keep a bigger eye out for ya'll.

 

[monk3y]

You guys are heading to the wrong parts of India.

Head down south and it's all green and tropical with less people and a slower pace of life. Kerala is honestly paradise-like. I stay away from the cities (no point going there unless you want to see humanity).

 

[Printer Bandit]

where is there no humidity? that is paradise.

 

[rh71]

You did not see any of these? = http://www.chinahush.com/2009/10/21/amazing-pictures-pollution-in-china/

Do they look real to you or something else?

I couldn't scroll anymore after seeing the abandoned kids. Such sadness... really the only thing you can do is pretend it doesn't happen.

 

[rh71]

No humidity is Las Vegas. Dry and causes cracked lips and skin issues. Very much like your typical bone-chilling winter anywhere and you need moisturizer multiple times a day just to keep from looking like you're deathly sick. Or maybe that's just me. That's why people run humidifiers in the winter, but it only does so much.

No, you don't want low humidity either.

You would not believe it but when I shown that link to other pro CCP chinese posters in an Asian website, they said those pictures were photoshopped. I told them that the pictures were taken by chinese photographers and not CIA agents, they still would not believe those pictures were real.

It (destroying the environment) can not go on like that forever.
