India Wants To Use Flesh Eating Turtles To Rid The Ganges Of Decomposing Bodies (HBO)

[N.Siddiqui]

India’s Ganges river is the main source of water for half a billion people. It’s also holy to the country’s almost 1 billion Hindus, who bathe in the river to be cleansed of their sins and believe that if a body is cremated and released into the water at Varanasi it can escape the cycle of reincarnation.

But the river’s cleansing abilities are limited by the fact that the Ganges is one of the world’s most polluted waterways: A billion gallons of raw sewage and industrial waste currently pour into it every day.

Is there a point is questioning people's religious believes?

Instead of watching the video, I spent 10 minutes reading the comments. Gosh.... what can I say? See for yourself..

Supapowa priorities:

offer dignity to the dead and cleanse holy river

or

build a big statue of some guy in the middle of nowhere

hahaha, maza aa gya. Why India stole the name from Indus? It should have gone with the Gangia, no wonder Gangadesh fits more perfectly than India.

Indian Professor: If you drink the water it will help in improvement of your health. Dilution is the solution of the pollution.

hahhahaha

And they shit talk about our education system.

 

[Sineva]

Is this really such a good idea,I mean considering the industrial pollution I`m worried you might end up with something like this.

The people who throw the bodies are mostly Hindus, whose religious beliefs are in sync with cremation. I am just saying this as a rhetoric.

 

[Pangu]
