Toilets and sanitation.
by Prem Mohan on Oct 09, 2007 04:31 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

I have a question to ask. How is that after 60 years of Congress rule, two-thirds of our people still defecate in the open air? The situation is the same in the Communist ruled states. Is this one of the benefits of communism/socialism?

I have a question to ask you too.
Despite being educated and well-to-do, why do upper class Indians still chuck their rubbish from their houses into the street ??? Why do they spit paan everywhere except in their own houses ???

Because they are merely literate and not really educated

We can try to educate the so-called upper class Indians for this. But how do you educate people to use toilets when there are none? As a nation, when will we start uplifting the poor? I am sure that it cannot be done through socialism and communism.
