Usually i don’t start threads like such, but not only that figures are mind boggling, but the cartoon in the article is amazingly hilarious. 
And yes, India is number one and we are number five. Yeahhhh, we are not as dirty as our neighbors to the east. :champ:
Keep the conversion light please.
Re: Indian public hygiene is worst
Number 2 in public? What a sight
Re: Indian public hygiene is worst
^ they gotta defecate somewhere right.. this is what happens when you have over 1 billion people.
Shak dont be so jumpy on that. Their 54% population uses outdoors, but 28% of ours also do the same. We are only slightly better in this regard.
Re: Indian public hygiene is worst
number one in number two 
the article is a few years old but one thing you dont want to do while traveling on india’s extensive rail network is look out of the windowto enjoy the lush rural scenery in the fog of dawn. you see more than you ever want to see.
Re: Indian public hygiene is worst
I wonder how they do istinga, the public poopers in our countries. Lota shota would be out of the question I guess
Don’t quite agree with your point. China has more population and their percentage is only 4
You can’t have lush green scenery without the constant supply of natural fertilizers.
I just did a quick public poppers per square mile population calculation, and India has 500. Just to get a perspective, that means that in a city setup where a square mile has about 400 blocks, you will find a person openly pooping at every street corner.
Holy crap (no pun intended)
Re: Indian public hygiene is worst
Because of over population I guess
Re: Indian public hygiene is worst
This is where your maths skill took you eh, evaluating pooping zones
Waleed, if by over population, you mean absolute numbers, then China is bigger in numbers than India. If you mean population density per square mile, then India is number 25 in the world
My fascination with maths and toilet related topics combined.
Re: Indian public hygiene is worst
China has a system but India doesnt have the system Mumbai still have the slums where people dont even have toilets
Re: Indian public hygiene is worst
OP is missing the point. By “dumping” on people defecating in public. It’s not that they lack public hygiene. It’s that they don’t have access.
Let’s blame the govt. Not the poor folks who defecate in public.
Re: Indian public hygiene is worst
yeah but the poverty in china isn’t as bad. im sure no one wants to defecate outdoors but if they dont have access to a bathroom, this is what will happen.
Re: Indian public hygiene is worst
I really don’t get the logic. It is like blaming a person who is trying hard to get employment but can’t find a job by calling him lazy.
Like blaming someone with a physical challenge trying his hardest for not trying hard enough.
I have seen professionals not wash their hands after no. 1. Once even no 2. Now that is lack of hygiene.
Blame the govt for not providing infrastructure. Blame the rich and middle class for not caring.. for not giving a crap.. But not the ones taking a crap.
Southie i am not blaming anyone. I just reported a study, and i even borrowed the title from that study, so if you want to point finger, point finger at them. i am just a messenger
Re: Indian public hygiene is worst
the Indian Railway is a public highway where men, women, children, and cows, goats and buffaloes stroll/SHEET [sh.it] along with complete anonymity of the oncoming 24-coach Express train.
i usually don’t look outside my train window in the early morning hours near urban and rural areas. 
Re: Indian public hygiene is worst
