“Due to the shortage of wood, the dead are being buried in the water,”

Nobody there owns a shovel?

There are always dead bodies, sometimes whole, sometimes partially cremated, floating in the Ganges. They’ve tried to clean it up in recent years for the tourist trade, so I guess it’s better … but maybe not much.

They believe depositing loved ones into the Ganges could free their souls from reincarnation.

Nothing new for India where, if you can’t afford wood for a cremation they just toss your body into the holy rivers.
Here are some old links to photos of “Filthy India”.

You couldn’t get me to go to India on a bet. Everything I’ve ever read about that country indicates that it is filthy and unsanitary beyond belief. No wonder they are inundated with diseases. And people bathe in the same rivers where there are rotting corpses!

Why use a shovel when you can befoul the water supply?

“Nobody there owns a shovel?”

India either cremates or throw into Ganges they do not bury. Ganges or cremation is supposed to release the soul from the body.

I watched them burn bodies in Kathmandu. The unburnt parts went straight into the river. They said the catfish there were unusually large.

Boy, what does a drop of that water look like under a microscope? They need to introduce a few pairs of alligators.

AND, the left-wing, commie, environmental wackos are constantly berating the USA for pollution, yet say nothing about India and China.

Just terrible.

The Indian regime doesn’t care about people. Especially if they’re minorities. And it doesn’t matter much which party is in power.
