I’m sure the labor unions have made that illegal here in the USA.

“Bunch of Fools”

That's like all those white folks who go in the ghetto to help out the "poor".

Or, it’s like the white people who go clean up the beach on Earth Day. Maybe idealistic, but not to the level of foolish.

This is good work. Now if we could only convince the rural folk that toilets are a good thing and taking a squat in the back 40 is a bad idea. IIRC, there was a problem with villagers being attacked by tigers a few years ago. They were being attacked at night when they were squatting in the bushes going #2. Tigers generally don’t attack in indoors bathrooms.

Do yourself a favor and don’t google image search “pollution Ganges River.” It’s like one big sewer. They make Haiti look like a nice vacation resort.

Thanks for posting this.
I’ve heard of this for the last several years.
Excellent work ethic, civic pride and no apparent sense of entitlement.
No wonder so many India countrymen sucessfully transition to performing our outsourced labor (helped by lower wage competitive advantage over US workforce).
Now if only Sharpton’s people did likewise!

Taking pride in where you live and not expecting someone else to do it!? Fantastic!

But other things might.

I really, really like Indians from India.

The very definition, for the most part, of polite, considerate people.

All that I have met in the technical world, would make outstanding CONSERVATIVE US Citizens.

They think like we do!

“Or, it’s like the white people who go clean up the beach on Earth Day.”

And they have to pay 15 bucks for parking a half mile away because the home owners won’t let them park by their house.

LOL.
I remember stories from New York City in the 40’s and 50’s where the Mayor would ask the citizens to shovel the streets after big snow storms so essential public services and folks in general could function. People would dig in and it took far less time then waiting for the plows.

Very nice, that’s what it takes to make a society work.

Indians in the US tend to live their lives very conservatively—if you count wedlock before childbirth, hard work, lack of criminality, and educational and professional attainment as conservative—but they unfortunately tend to vote liberally. I think in part they bring their sense of social injustice in what they see in India to the US.

The real issue is they squat in the front yard or anywhere else they are when the urge hits them.
