Seeing heaps of garbage everywhere, I wonder whats behind this attitude.
In Pakistan (Muslim majority country) , the situation is alarming. We keep on chanting ‘Safai Nisf Iman hai - Cleanliness is half faith’, so religious teachings are there to keep clean. There are ahadees which forbade defecating besides roads, parks and places people pass by. But the situation is just awkward. You can see slogans like ‘yahan kutta peshab kar raha hai’ on walls by the owners to avoid the mess.
I think situation in India is also alarming. There they also got religious binding to be clean. Like they can touch food before having bath in morning. Ganga Ashnan is a term for purity.
So what are the factors behind this attitude?
Do our culture support pollution? Was the sanitation situation always alarming in our part of world?

ye hum tab kehtay hain jb doosray gandgi phela rhy, Khud k leay ye bat nae yad rehti. Wesay bhi baqi deen pe kaunsa hum amal kar rhay hain
Id say its lack of ethics, religion dictates morality, ethics are instilled by deep understanding and appreciation of right and wrong. Its like cctv is stopping us from stealing, otherwise we would do that too
like it or not, people in general follow laws just because of strict enforcement. Once laws enforcement is established, coming generations would tend follow laws but even then there is no guarantee that people will follow laws on their own. Western countries are portrayed more moral than eastern ones or Muslim countries yet the west have highest crime rate.
Home land ko agar apna ghar consider karlya jaye tu yeh ho he na, jaise ham apny ghar kay aandar gandagi ko pasand nahi karty aisry hamain ghar se bahar bhi nahi pasand karna chahye kyun kay app ka ghar hee hy, this atitude is totally wrong app ny kuch khaya bahar if that was in disposal or koi wrapper tha wahen phenka or agay chal diye. we must understand the duties of muslim, citizen and human being .

Well. Cleaning the locality was lower caste job in India, many hindus even employ lower castes to clean their toilets even now
Like VS Naipaul said" Since sweeper didn't come, roads were unclean, in India it is unclean to clean, it is unclean even to look at it :D"
India currently has govt ads on tv regarding a cleanliness drive which have been impressing me lately. Because cleanliness is a part of faith here it's taken for granted like everything else. I wish religious preachers, schools and govt would talk about it in a systematic way because not everyone know the health risks for uncleanliness.
I sometimes see people complaining on TV about how govt is leaving masses off garbage in their neighbourhoods. Fair enough. It's the govts duty to not be neglectful but I do feel like if people can band together to clean up their neighbourhoods it can be done. I was part of the zimmmedar shehri group on Facebook and we would go clean up different public places. It was mostly burger kids getting together who haven't worked in their lives but we got the job done in a hygienic manner. I just wish cleanliness wasn't considered a low job that no one participates in outside their homes.

that interesting that government is spending to create some awareness.
Otherwise, after watching 'Kamal ka button dabaen ge, wahiyaat sarkaar laen ge', I thought politicians / govt in India spend on their own publicity like in Pakistan.
I don’t know how effective it is but at least they’re talking about it. I especially like them insisting fixed toilets be made. At least people won’t be using walls for this purpose.
