This one really takes the (urinal?) cake...
I myself have spent a bit of time in Europe, and one thing that strikes you as disgusting is the taking-a-leak in public thing- particularly bad the farther East you go (Czech Republic comes to mind).
And it's not just drunks at 3am -though there's never any shortage of that- but the carefree, utterly shameless roadside drainage -in broad daylight, as minivans full of families motor by- you even see on the side of the freeway (and not in any woods/weeds or anything, either).
But from what I've heard, India is a whole lot worse (and it's not just #1!)... thus, a potential solution has been born: blast 'em with a water cannon, a dose of there own medicine:

Maybe someday a real rain WON’T come and wash all the scum off the street... but when it doesn’t, there’s always water cannon lol

India is one big filthy stinking toilet.

I don’t know if it will stop public urination, but it will sure make you look carefully before you whip it out.

Sounds awful, I would never go there.
BTW, now that I misspelled ‘cannon’ in the headline you all know what kind of printer I have
To: Reaganite Republican
Must be nice getting hit in the balls with high pressure water from a fire hose.
Lawsuits galore.

Yes, India is a whole lot worse. It don't make any sense why it continues so.
You cannot compare -- as some try to -- my childhood outhouse in Kentucky with the problems caused in other countries.
Poor Sanitation in India May Afflict Well-Fed Children With Malnutrition
Half of Indias population, or at least 620 million people, defecate outdoors. And while this share has declined slightly in the past decade, an analysis of census data shows that rapid population growth has meant that most Indians are being exposed to more human waste than ever before.
That means more diseases for a growing body to fight which some believe is why alimentary (small intestine) mucosa is smooth and not with folds (like a curtain) giving more area to absorb nutrients. Kids get plenty of good food and supplements but
The present research on gut diseases in children has focused on a condition resulting from repeated bacterial infections that flatten intestinal linings, reducing by a third the ability to absorb nutrients. A recent study of starving children found that they lacked the crucial gut bacteria needed to digest food.

There are no public toilets. What is the alternative?

Apparently there must be some more appropriate place than on the side of the street, or it would be difficult to justify such a harsh measure
But down there, who knows...
To: Reaganite Republican
If things continue on their current trajectory we may need one of these in California soon.

There aren’t enough toilets in India for the amount of people. About half of Indians have a toilet at home. The other half rely on community toilets in villages or very few public toilets in urban areas, which if you’ve ever experienced on, you would go on the street too.
