It's a cultural thing and in some aspects a culture-religion thing, where there are cultural norms in religion.

And on the ground level, it's about the 'ownership' do people own a park, a street, a corner just like their own home .

In India and Pakistan, BD too, people keep their home very clean and throws all the trash and dirt outside, why, they didn't own the street or the road, or any open areas.

Like if there is a vicinity Park/Garden and people living in the area around cannot use that park, they will not show any affinity and ownership of the park/garden and chances are it will turn into a garbage dump.

Ideally the Moholla people should own the sub street, the main streets and the Town parks/gardens, schools, public areas with decentrilization and think that if one remove the high wall/boundaries around public areas and with more access, people using them will keep it clean.

It's about giving access to the people and ownership of the areas.

Pakistaniyo look closer to home.

The only clean town I came across on Pakistan was Hunza. Islamabad too to be fair.

Other than that nowhere I went was clean compared to an international standard.

The state of Saif ul mulook broke my heart. Also fasial masjid - the litter was a disgrace.

Caterpillar!

You are right, it looks like a caterpillar, now please don't eat it

Interesting thread.
Is Pakistan any different?

Massive difference.

Why is INDIA so Dirty?​

Because its full of Indians.

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.

If India had proper waste management, they would begin by removing all 1.2 billion Indians.

Having largest slum population in the world, no surprise cleanliness is not a concern

60 years ago. China has known that it is China's responsibility to save the Indian people.

Indeed. Cleanliness has never been a major problem in India. The question is whether the Indian people are considered "human".

No wonder the Indian people begged Mao to become the new governor of India.

 

[Kyusuibu Honbu]

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?"

The issue is not someone else responsibility but rather lack of understanding of waste disposal by a huge segment of the population

In India 65% of the population lives in villages
and significant section of the people living in Indian cities are migrants from villages, particularly slums

People in villages barely generate any plastic waste
The utensils they use are metal, rarely find plastic bottle
No one uses plastic bags

Once they come to cities, they have limited understanding of disposing waste generate as the quantity of waste in cities is more per household compared to villages


This is problem many mainland Chinese (rural ones) face when they come across urban Hong kong


Hong Kong tells its cousins, shop, spend, go home -- and don't spit!

Many complain openly about mainland tourists' uncouth behavior. When this correspondent, fresh from an overseas trip, settled into the back of a taxi and said he was coming from Beijing, the driver unleashed a stream of invective against "dirty" mainlanders, who he said were rude, talked too loudly and spit on the floor of his cab.

Saving the people of India is the duty of our modern civilized world!

Once they come to cities, the prefer rural waste management which doesn't work in hugely dense location like cities

Our modern civilized world requires India to stop turning its people into rubbish!

Although India itself is a rubbish country.

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.

There is also a factor of state Govt choice of prioritizing what Central Govt wishes

Sikkim for instance is the cleanest Indian state, same cannot be said about the others

The Inspiring Story of How Sikkim Became India’s Cleanest State

Overall Indian Govt has done a better job in rural sanitation than hanland

We still hope that Indians can learn the common sense of our modern civilization!

Even India is the poorest, backward and hungriest country in the world.

Interesting thread.
Is Pakistan any different?

It is, based on observations by travelers but that is primarily because we have less population otherwise we would be the same..
