India has made dramatic gains in use of public sanitation during 2014-2023 under the leadership of Honourable PM Narendra Modi. The Swaccha Bharat Abhiyaan(Clean India Movement) is beginning to give positive results on a macro level. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swachh_Bharat_Mission India's ranking continue to improve drastically and as more and more latest data comes into the light, India's ranking may soon start competing with Lanka's by 2030.
Afg remain the street-shitters of the subcontinent. While Afganistan might improve with time thanks to it's low population and high resources, Pakistan seems to be in deep trouble due to overpopulation. Extreme water scarcity might hamper sanitation plans and programs even further. Pakistan water distribution network has already broken down in Karachi and other cities are soon to follow as glaciers recede. https://economictimes.indiatimes.co...ater-crisis/articleshow/90897917.cms?from=mdr
Bangladesh ranks extremely low but has shown signs of improvement in recent past, partially due to it's proximity to Indian state of West Bengal which has made huge progress during the 2014-23 period. BD experts have done case studies and attended seminars in Kolkata for improving sanitation. Unlike Afg and Pak, BD has no water shortage. Judging by present trends Pakistan may soon compete with Afganistan for the title of Top Street-Shitters of Indian subcontinent.
