And people visit there as tourists?

The sh## where they eat crowd is causing all these diseases and the criminal agenda 21 cretans are all to happy to bring it to those who need to be quelled

In 150 years the US went from the first trans-Atlantic steam ship to walking on the moon. I just don’t understand it.

It seems that they think indoor toilets are dirty and unsanitary, and unnatural, unlike walking out outside and defecating on the ground, (not in outhouses).

Two guesses on why their smartest people work here?

“....people still defecate in the open,....”

.
If the lights go out in America because of a terrorist attack or whatever, we will be defecating in our backyard (or in our neighbor’s if he is not looking).

Say your prayers of thanksgiving every time you flush the toilet and you hear the water rushing.

Gandhi was the Jessie Jackson of his era. Just a shake down artist in a diaper.
India is off my honey bucket list, if I ever have to go there I will fill my suitcase with powerbars, bottled water, purel and Clorox wipes. Hopefully I won’t be there long enough to have to go number 2.
My brother had an airline stop there one time and the Indians came on the plane and fumigated it!

There is no such thing as civilization without toilets.

It's been an Axiom for at least 4,000 years.

If they cannot be taught to deal with their own waste in a civilized manner, I do NOT want to prevent their deaths.

Defecating in the open is not the worst part. That would be the half cremated bodies floating down the Ganges

[Nuc 1.1]

Imagine Ebola in these places.

[jmacusa]

The Ganges River is the worlds biggest open toilet.

I cannot imagine trying to provide reliable water/sewer (and indoor plumbing) for 1.2 billion people. I don’t know if enough water exists for that to happen. Diverting/trapping that much water would almost certainly alter weather patterns.
