Why is INDIA so Dirty?

. . .
Population density in east China and Japan, Korea, Singapore are all much higher than that of India, but we don't see that hell on earth scenes everywhere in India.

It depends on what people consider decent living standards across the world. India (Indian larger cities especially) are a different story.

Dharavi is the world's largest filthy slum in Mumbai near the CSIA airport flightpath, it has been there for 190 years with no one in India lifting a finger to change the scenario. They just sit with their hands under their butts, Indian style. They have gotten used to the filth, as typical. Major reason is that Sanghis are cheap by nature....the other is that because of the caste system, no one cares about underclass people in India. Let the underclass rot in their filth, as long as the middle class or rich can survive, which they do because the poor don't. Sanghis are basically de-sensitized to their filth.

Meanwhile in Bangladesh, when people are displaced because of govt. projects, replacement apartments are automatically built as 'compensation housing'.

These apartments for lower middle income people were built because they lost land for some of the Dhaka city flyovers.

Ditto for compensation housing for one of the Chinese power projects in Payra in Southern Bangladesh. I am yet to see anything like this in India.

Multiple factors:

1. Population growth and population density
2. Number of toilets that force people to openly defecate
3. Lack of waste management
4. Lack of civic sense
5. Lack of city planning

This is a prevalent issue in South Asia.

If it were upto me, I’d enforce 2 child policy and forced vasectomy for men after having 2 kids. If they want a 3rd child then a $1m non refundable deposit will be required.

The open defecation element is far more prevalent in India. Never saw much about this from other South Asian countries but pooping in the open is synonymous with India:

Pakistani should not look at this article & sound like "Look how clean is Pakistan compared to India"
when they can leap beyond many countries of world in hygiene Global ranking index
 
.
Because people think cleanliness is someone else's responsibility.

"I pay taxes no?"
"Where is the sweeper da?"
"What he will do if I am only cleaning my mess"
"For what he is getting salary?"
 
.
Because 1.2 billion are stuffed together in a small piece of land. Controlling the population is the only way forward.
Till now things are manageable here but unfortunately, Pakistan is heading in the same direction.
Overpopulation is not the only reason. South Asians in general and Indians in particular have made their name as dirty stinky people even in Western countries.

Actually many parts of US cities are no cleaner than their Indian counterparts, it's not about being developed or not, it's more about if the governments care or not.
To some extent i would agree, but Government is simply a stakeholder, one of many. Improvement would require participation of all stakeholders.

Government function depends on economic resources and the ability/inability to carry out and establish ecosystems that would clean sustainably.

Unfortunately, corruption and general malaise are more prevelant in India which impedes cleanliness initiatives but that doesn't translate it to being their fault alone. Indian citizens too play an important part and it is such initiatives that are bringing about positive change.

We are dirty, because we like dirt.😛😛

In any case, cleanliness is a relative concept, and there is no absolute measure of it.😂
 
.
government needs to train population to look after there area and towns, cities plus government must also do their part instead they are busy looting while ppl are only care about themselves individually.

Tf...

Interesting thread.
Is Pakistan any different?
Yeah...
India is like Karachi but imagine a good chunk of the country

Although if we keep f*ing the way we're, we'll reach that level
