Well, one thing does not preclude the other. Indians defecate in the street even in large cities. EDIT: People, please google "open defecation in India" before

In the National Capital Region (larger New Delhi metropolitan area, with 46 million people) they have only 658 government health facilities (including dispensaries and nursing homes). From http://indpaedia.com/ind/index.php/National_Capital_Region_(India):_Health http://indpaedia.com/ind/index.php/National_Capital_Region_(... : > The ratio of government to private health facilities in the NCR is 1:2.2 So access to healthcare is mostly conditioned by the ability to pay the private hospital bill.

defecating in open is disgusting to other people, but its natural and is not as bad to the environment as throwing a cigarette bud or plastic in open.

  It's natural in the woods, not in a city.

    agreed. except for dogs ;-) it's okay in city.

      I don't think many would object if all dogs could learn to poop in toilets. So even in the case of dogs it would be preferable if they didn't do it outside.

  perhaps you've never vomitted from the smell of human excrement encountered on the way home from the train station
