this man who cleans,eats and sleeps in a public toilet in India for £70 a month

yea try doing that in beijing , I will see how your folks will react.
That is because you didn`t understand what I m trying to say here. He is not some jobless vagabond , 5000 may not be a good money but still good enough for an Indian to be classified as lower income class person.There are millions other unfortunate folks without any job, or that kind of steady income.
My gripe is that he can afford a decent accommodation , yet he chose to live in a public place.
There are thousand who spend their nights in railway stations , bus terminals , sidewalks and other public places , because they genuinely don`t have decent means to survive. keep your sympathy for them.
maybe he get a big family to feed, you dont know the bitter story behind his smile

This guy looks like a BD immigrant ;)

He looks like a perfect Indian. Majority 90% Indians looks like him. There is nothing special of BD looks. Its Indian invented term BD immigrant. Generally they call their own people BD immigrant who they want to get rid of.

Huge respect for the man, working hard and eating in toilets so his kids won't have to tomorrow.

Then the fault is all his , one simply doesnot marry and produce kids if he doesnot have proper income to feed and raise the kids and be a burden to the community.

Ya, I find it difficult to laugh at poverty, human hardship and misery.

But you go right ahead, you are an american, not doubt a christian too :coffee:


you think I was being demeaning because he's Indian and Hindu?? how can you jump to such a conclusion, lol from a simple comment "what a shitty job"

if it was an American doing the same job I would of said it's a shitty job as well. theres a lot of shitty jobs in the world even in 1st world counties. not like I was implying I'm superior because I am American white and or if I was Christian lol. a guy gotta do gotta do to feed his family.


but you are being ignorant and I see you are banned :azn::rofl:

    Mr Das eats on the floor of the toilet and said his only concern is being lonely when he shuts up the toilet

    'I am going to work here for as long as I can because I don't have many options. Everyone dreams of a luxurious life but how many can afford it?'

    And he is not the only person pursuing such a life in Delhi, as other men have been found living and guarding toilets in India's vast city.

    Mr Das's work begins each day at 6am, and rather than commuting home at the end of each shift, he has decided to live in the toilet to save money on rent.

    Otherwise he would spend up to half his salary paying for a place to stay.

    He said he would rather sleep in the toilet than spend around half of his wages on renting a single room

    'After the toilet is closed for the day, I cook food here and after having food I clean up the place and sleep,' he added.

    'People sleep everywhere and anywhere in this country. I sleep here in the toilet - where else can I sleep with the money I earn in a month?

    'I earn 6000 rupees and the rent of a single room is 3000 rupees, which I can't even think of in my dreams. Hence, I clean this place and sleep here.'

    The father-of-three regularly sends money back home - and he says when he is not cleaning, he spends his day talking with the people who come to use the toilets.
