Why Indians are not bothered about their environments?

Question

Most of us are only concerned with our personal hygiene. We are not bothered about keeping our surroundings clean. If each houseowners bother to keep the place around his house neat and tidy, things will look different. Instead we dump wastes in our streets. We have to learn a lot from other countries on how they keep their surroundings clean and tidy. We build beautiful buildings. There ends everything. Cobwebs, dust etc. are there in most of these buildings. Betal spitting is another cancer largely influenced our society. We can find spit marks almost everywhere. Most of our Government Employees does not bother to clean their own working table which is normally covered with full of files and dust. Habit is natural. It cannot be taught. Celanliness should be one's own priority. Unless we change our mind and attitude, things will continue like this.

Answer 1

I made a trip to India recently, and I surprised and disgusted at the same time. My surprise came by seeing very clean people. I was on the streets of Old Delhi, and in some really poor areas, and couldn't believe how neat and clean the people were. However, the absolute filth they were living in was such a shock.. The whole place smelled of urine so bad it made me gag... If someone knows the difference about having a clean or dirty body, they must know that it's not ok to wee in the streets..
Other places (in India) there was a lady washing the streets.. But the raw sewage is still drained out of the houses into gutters on the street..
The filth is not limited to the bodily functions that are done in the streets alone though, I saw piles and piles of trash every where..For people that have nothing they sure generate a bunch of garbage!
I am not insensitive, but some people are just slobs, and this is not limited to any race.
Being poor is no excuse for being filthy, and it doesn't matter if you are Indian, Chinese, Thai, Japanese, or American.
If you know enough to keep you body clean, and you like the feel of being clean, you know better than to trash your environment.

Answer 2

This article http://ahamot.org/en/why-do-indians-litter-so-much/ suggests that the reason Indians don't clean around their homes is that they don't feel like they own the place.
In Europe if you put some garbage in the river, local people would come and ask you to quit.
They feel themselves owners of the river (and there's a law stating that the river belongs to this municipality, so people feel it's theirs' and get responsible). India needs to change laws.
The situation of no-mans-land brings is good for corruption, but if every piece of land has its owner, the situation gets much better.
The owner of a guesthouse which cleans his territory clean gets more visitors than his neighbor who doesn't care about keeping the place clean.
That's the economics Indians have to study.

Answer 3

I think it is mostly due to cultural influences and what was taught to them when from their infancy.

You can't blame an adult Indian for chewing betel nuts or doing their 'business' by the roadside without imagining what their forefathers had done and they are probably just copying that.

You don't just blame 'Indians' for doing that simply because they lack education, etc. Even Americans do that too, would you say that Americans don't care about their environment? No! I don't think so.

If you look at countries like Burma, Cambodia and Thailand and Malaysia... certain areas of environmental issues can be compared to what you may find in India. Its more likely a 'regional' or 'worldly' problem.

Answer 4

you are right...i was a cleaner at Ford Motor and people can be real pigs..spitting on the floor..right where people are walking and also in the food center...they trash the bathrooms? why?
in Japan i seen men piss in the alleys and also the Philippines and that place is a real hell hole too..but the Japanese are clean on some things but they still piss in the alleys and the taxi driver wear white gloves but they will pull up on a street and open the door and let go with the yellow flow? but in the morning some old lady will wash the streets with soap and water...
our Capital washington Dc is a hell hole too...yuck..
people go to public parks and dogs chit everywhere..check out Brooklyn NY? but its getting bad like this everywhere...
Yes, i agree with your assessment but what can be done? we even left trash on the MOON?

Answer 5

India is still a 3rd world country. It is rapidly improving and eventually it will change. A country pollutes until it can economically afford to be kind to others and its environment. When India is as wealthly as most other First World countries...THEN it will be able to afford the luxuries of cleanliness and environmental responsibility.

China is in the same boat, but is going faster (so are already starting to look at this).

Answer 6

i'm a Druid. For those unfamiliar with Druidism, we are the extra scientific component of Wicca. shall we handle each and each component in my view. Bookstores are bookstores. each and each follows its own rules. i hit upon that people who record Pagan books interior the hot Age area often have a poor determination. After notifying the administration of their mistake, i do no longer patronize that keep back. I even have never had YA advise mythology. possibly that's as a results of way the question replaced into worded. undergo in strategies, the determination of the place the question is going is accomplished with the help of workstation. It recognizes specific words. Misconceptions? OH YEAH. P*SSES ME OFF. Pagans/Witches comparable? confident, i'm getting slightly miffed at stupidity. i do no longer do "stupid". yet, that's the region for them to ask, and study. actual faith. often i attempt to tell them of the U. S. shape, the U. S. militia, the VA, and the hot Jersey college gadget. The shape ensures freedom of religion(First Ammendment). the U. S. militia is including Pagan "Chapels" to a pair of their bases. Jails now have Pagan Chaplains. The VA (with the "help" of Selena Fox, Circle Santuary, and female Liberty League) has approved the pentacle on the memorials of yankee infantrymen. Youtube has a super video of the ceremony on the memorial of "Wiccan Warrior" Sgt Pat Stewart. I even have stuff saved approximately each and each aforementioned conflict. in case you decide on, i'm able to digital mail it to you. touch me promptly The satanism subject could never bypass away. too plenty Christian luggage. In Philadelphia, my Witches team is approximately to "sparkling out" a house. A "satanic" altar replaced into got here across with the help of a clean tennant. in my view I dont have faith that devil exists, yet, different persons do. This concept supplies upward thrust to all forms of alternative manifestations. regrettably, on YA, the standard rule is "P*ss on each and every person elses ideals." back, thats no longer gonna bypass away quickly. confident, i'm getting p*ssed, yet there have been some situations while i in my view HELPED somebody. That makes it "all extra effective". an fairly empowering feeling. Dunstan, A Druid Ovate (instructor) i in my view enjoyed Safyres remark approximately Paganism having its own area.....and that i AGREE.
