“Pretty awful, isn’t it?”

Thanks for posting that link. Lots of photos, giving an idea of the mindset of Indian culture. Dead bodies and human $hit in their drinking and bath water.

Glancing at the comments section I came across this gem:

“Actually, this is exactly how America does it, using violence to beat the Indians [Native Americans] to death, pushing the Asian, African, and poor out into the country, running the poor white people into the surrounding outskirts of the cities. America’s police are even more terrible than China’s chengguan. If you’re within two meters of a police officer, you have to raise your hands, otherwise American police have the right to shoot you dead.”

The comments sections are usually better/funnier reads than most of the articles.

Oh My! Oh My! Oh My!

That is brutal. I had seen pictures of the Ganges but this is far worse.

I don’t know how people can live like that. Their government is a complete failure.

Hard to imagine much worse “living conditions” than that. I don’t know how people survive among that filth and disease, but their immune systems must be beyond hardy to endure that.
