I wonder how one teaches people who don't know better. In India, there is a place called hampi which is near a village called hospet. It is one of the worlds most ancient and spectacular ruins. There is also literally pigs and sewer everywhere. For a more popular example take taj mahal. Agra is dirty like hell and words cannot describe the sanitation situation there. The taj mahal doesn't need help to look awesome but with a background of a stinking river and a filthy city, it looks like a diamond in shit. Actually why tourist places. Are you guys aware that Indian railways encourages defecating in the open? Yes sir visit any train station in India and you will see fresh human faeces on the tracks. All toilets of the train open up straight into the ground. All this to say that in countries like India people cannot take care of their own land forget other people s land.

that's the classic traintoilet design across the world. only recently have toilets in trains been replaced with chemical ones - adoption was driven by high speed trains. nothing particular about india in this little bit. i agree with your overall assessment though.

  > that's the classic traintoilet design across the world. I can confirm it's the same in the ex-USSR countries. That's why the lock the lavatory 10 minutes before arriving at a station and don't unlock it until the train is well clear of the town.

>I wonder how one teaches people who don't know better. Considering first world nations still continue to pollute why do you expect people in abject poverty to be any different? Open defecation is a serious problem, but I don't see it's relevance to "India people cannot take care of their own land" or graffiting other peoples property. This is a issue about hygiene and how can one implement it in very poor countries.
