I have friends who have been to India. I hear it is filthy overall. It is a wonder that a higher percentage of people don’t die from something fast there. A lot of areas don’t even have central plumbing. Dead people are throw into the Sacred river and people bathe in it for one example.

That’s how some people live out in the Styx. Who am I to judge?

Growing up in that contaminated, germ laden environment must give them phenomenal immune systems.

All the viruses and germs cancel each other out.

I used to connect through the Delhi airport, overnighting at cheap Indian transit hotels. One time there was a scraggly cow in the pickup area. The hotels were OK; it wasn’t worth it to stay in a Western hotel at 6x the cost for a few hours sleep.

Only once did I stay there for 3 days at a friend’s place in a suburb. It was like cheap Western standards. I walked from store to store in the 120 degree weather.

Now Kabul, that’s dirty, but even it has upscale areas.
