Yep.. I tried to explain this twice earlier in this thread. I even gave a solution that the government could institute and help out a lot.

Source en.wikipedia.org... (surely we can trust wiki with this at least?)

I find it odd that people still almost always attempt to Factionalise countries to a particular religion. Race does not equal religion.

Don't think that the whole country is like that.



So true...the area the Chinese photographer showed in their blog is nothing like this:

www.keralatourism.org...

there is more to India than meets the eye from one person's blog.

ETA: India has a beauty in all areas that unless understood will not show it's self.

I'm not going to go through all the pictures and explain or defend what you are seeing because I'm sure that none of you would get it, even then. I will say though that it is a huge honour to have your ashes scattered in the Ganga, and that most people get burnt on a gat next to the river (which you can watch with great detail) and then have their ashes scattered in to the river but often the poor cannot afford the ceremony so they are just wrapped and put straight in the water. I also believe that babies are not burnt (i saw one floating). However, this whole process is the central thing in Varanasi. People travel from all over the country just so they can die there, next to the source of their creator. It is actually beautiful and is very interesting to see all the natural processes that we hide behind curtains.

As for the craps on the holy ground. Well, if there are no toilets near people will use the same spot, much like you get at western music festivals (walk near the fences next time if you don't believe me!), it's really not like you walk around and everyone just goes for a crap wherever they want. But hey, this is hardly the end of the world. A lot of this is cultural rather than being the government not putting enough money in to infrastructure projects (although that is a problem).

Respecting the cow poop? Do you know anything about the medicinal properties of it?! We have every reason to respect it!

I really don't understand why people can't handle or don't like India. I was disappointed due to the lack of culture shock that I got, it wasn't bad at all.

But carry on, back to your discussion.


Indian culture. Like what? The caste-system and slave labour?

The place is a hole.

I can't imagine a state in the U.S./Canada, or the U.K. living like this, without being descended on by federal dollars, and other missionaries, educators, and garden variety of do-gooders.

These are their own people, and they have a responsibility to help them out of this filth.


You sure?

Apart from cultural differences not much in it IMO.


Hrmm, I didnt quite notice the dead bodies in the street, the dead animals, the fetid diseased ridden waters with people bathing in, cleaning with and consuming it, the animals devouring dead bloated corpses, skeletons of half leftover human remains...

Let alone a single person actually..

Apearently were not gonna bash india, why not? Every species has its unwanted, why not humans too. I wasn't gonna judge but screw it those people are rats, infested, disease filled rats who will only poison the rest of us eventually. Look at what they are doing to themselves, they're not trying to change they're ok with it clearly. when will another country intervene and set things straight, its only gonna get worse, thats our water too. Why are we letting them suffer, do they even no any different? Its a completly useless and filthy existance if you ask me. This is not ok behavior and lifstyle yet nobody will bash them like they should, everyone feels bad for them, we have enough problems of our own. I dont base my opinion on they're religion, race or culture, its purley factual they are human beings just the same as you and me. If some other race from another planet came here, i dont want them and their lifesyle representing us, if you were that being and you came here you wouldnt want anything to do with us (humans) at all, because we would just come off as a filthy animal thats infested our world and cant control itself, not some adcanced race like the one that would reach our planet in the first place.
