Sanitation and hygiene products are considered luxuries in India.

I am rolling on the floor right now - in stitches!

When sanitation and hygiene products such as toilet papers are out of reach for the common folks, they use their fingers to wipe their arse, brush their teeth. And the tongue is used for keeping the fingers clean. The best part is it's totally free, no tax.

India has the highest number of people doing their business out in the open, around 490 million people, or nearly a third of the population. In rural areas it is still 52% or so. A train trip in Mumbai in the morning shows stark shocking examples.

This when Mang-jiala next door has eliminated the practice more or less with NGO's a long time ago. Having half India's per capita GDP.

Some habits die hard.

According to World Health Organization's report in 2012 it was around 626 million, i doubt that in 5 years time India is capable of reducing it to 490 million.

India is an open society, so naturally people do their business in the open.
