The UN estimated that 65,000 tonnes of uncovered, untreated faeces—equal to the weight of around 180 Airbus A380s—were being introduced into the environment in India every single day.
This is an issue of mind boggling scale.

India has definitely a problem with this - it was the only country I was warned about to never drink or eat anything outside of the hotel from friends that had traveled all around the world. In the Sheraton the water was crystal clear - I think they had in house water plant. In the tech park next to it - it was yellow.

People shitting, pissing and spitting in the street everywhere, all the time. A jarring experience. I'll tell you one thing for sure, if ever the world gets wiped out by some global pandemic, the last man standing will be and Indian, pissing in the street.
