In India, over 700 million people defecate in the open - along
roadsides, on farmland, in municipal parks and so on. According to the
Water Supply and Sanitation Collaborative Council, a single gram of
feces can contain 10 million viruses, one million bacteria, a thousand
parasite cysts and a hundred eggs of worms. No wonder, water
contaminated with faecal matter causes diarrhea (with proper
sanitation, the risk level can drop by 40 per cent); malnutrition,
anaemia or retarded growth (60 per cent); blindness (25 per cent);
schistosomiasis (77 per cent); and cholera (72 per cent).
Re: In Bharat 800 million defecate out in the open
when you say bharat, does it include pakistan too?
Re: In Bharat 800 million defecate out in the open
both countries should take action since both share the same river
Originally meant to be a storm drain, it now carries untreated waste containing organic
material and toxic heavy metals across the border. As the drain flows through Pakistan, it is further burdened with municipal sewage and industrial effluents, all of which end up in the Ravi.
The effects of water contamination are evident. As a result of using this water for bathing and irrigation, people on the Pakistani side have developed infection in the eye and skin, and have high levels of lead in the blood

Re: In Bharat 800 million defecate out in the open
The bhartees are so good at diverting any negative press their darned desh gets to Pakistan.
The sambar stinks bad enough. I wonder what happens when it comes out the other end!!!!!!
They seem to have a book for everything: Love making, mythology etc. How about Potty training?
Just my random thoughts....
Re: In Bharat 800 million defecate out in the open
Right now I have found another media news for you. BBC is reporting this time
Village council candidates in India should be allowed to stand for election only if they have a toilet at home, the rural development minister says.
In a letter to all chief ministers, Raghuvansh Prasad Singh said the toilet rule should be set out in law.
He said too many elected members **“do not have toilet facilities in their own houses and defecate in the open”. 
**
Mr Singh said this activity was the main cause of the high incidence of diarrhoea in rural areas.
‘Change behaviour’
Mr Singh told the BBC that more than 65% of India’s rural population defecated in the open, along roadsides, railway tracks and fields, generating huge amounts of excrement every day.
Sanitation promotion requires social mobilisation on a large scale
Raghuvansh Prasad Singh,
**rural development minister **
“This finds its way into the water sources,” Mr Singh said.
About 70% of India’s billion-plus population live in its more than 550,000 rural villages.
“**It is unfortunate that a large number of elected village council members and rural government officers do not have toilet facilities in their own houses **and defecate in the open ,” Mr Singh’s letter said.
The minister said they needed to change their behaviour and adopt better sanitation and hygiene practices.
“It is essential to obtain their commitment to the sanitation agenda in view of the influence they exercise in the rural areas,” the letter said.
Some states have already made amendments in the Panchayati Raj Act, which deals with the election of village councils, to ensure that elected members have toilet facilities in their households.
The rural development minister suggested all chief ministers make similar provisions.
“Only then can we eradicate the practice of open defecation by 2010,” he says.
The central government has already launched a Total Sanitation Campaign in which awareness is being created regarding the ill-effects of open defecation.
“Sanitation promotion requires social mobilisation on a large scale and cannot be achieved by a few individuals but by collective involvement of all sections of society,” the letter says.

Re: In Bharat 800 million defecate out in the open
With 80 percent of its farmland relying on irrigation, Pakistan needs the Indus waters as badly as Egypt needs the Nile. So despite the treaty, the waters remain the crux of the Kashmir issue. Pakistan continues to fear that India will use its control of some of the headwaters. Meanwhile India sees Pakistan’s support of jihadis and others pressing for the end of Indian rule in Kashmir as cover for its fears about water.
Re: In Bharat 800 million defecate out in the open
I’ll Never Do It Again
India, again.
I visited here once before. The following is the “gist” of a letter I
sent to friends after that LAST visit. I want to see how my
impressions change this time.
"I saw India mainly through the eyes of V.S. Naipaul, one our best
living writers. Though removed from his ancestral land by 100 years
and half a world, Naipaul was compelled to brutalize India in his 1964
book ‘An Area of Darkness’. He was condemned by many for a too
critical analysis. Salmon Rushdie said that visiting India ‘ruined
Naipaul as a writer’.
In 1976 Naipaul revisited the same themes in ‘India: A Wounded
Civilization’. Still critical, but less so.
Naipaul is clean, precise, completely unsentimental. Maughmy. His
observations ring true.
** ‘Indians defecate everywhere. They defecate, mostly, beside the
railway tracks. But they also defecate on the beaches; they defecate
on the hills; they defecate on the river banks; they defecate on the
streets; they never look for cover. … the one thing we can and must
learn from the West is the science of municipal sanitation.’
They do uncoil anywhere and everywhere. It is a great mingling of cow,
dog, goat and human feces. sh!t dust is in the air. **
Re: In Bharat 800 million defecate out in the open
Completely off topic thats why sniped
UN report
http://www.un.org/works/sustainable/drpatak_waterstory.html
More than 700 million people in India have no toilets in their households and defecate in the open or in buckets. It’s estimated that nearly 500,000 people die in India every year from diarrhea-related diseases. Large numbers of Indians - especially children - suffer from other gastro-intestinal disease and worm infestation as a direct result of inadequate sanitation facilities.
Re: In Bharat 800 million defecate out in the open
these stats dont really concern india, rather they concern neighbouring countries that drink water from these rivers that cross borders. indias are used to drinking vile liquids! the ganges is chuck full of human remains ETC…millions of people piss, ****, bathe, wash and drink this water! and if thats not bad enough, many many indians drink cow piss.
make mine a pint!

Re: In Bharat 800 million defecate out in the open
we need to educate the people thoroughly. a course in manners should be mandatory in small towns and villages. slogan should be 'produce a toilet before you produce a kid'.
such a helpless feeling. a section of indians live in fancy houses and are amongst the richest most educated, and then you have THIS section...
Re: In Bharat 800 million defecate out in the open
With due respect to your comment, how can Indians give birth to “tiolets”, I didn’t get it? 
Re: In Bharat 800 million defecate out in the open
^no not give birth, 'produce'...y'know like build one. how can a woman have babies if she doesnt have a toilet? or at least that's what the woman should be thinking. in any case its a good slogan and maybe i shoudl mail it to the govt..
