Some Shit India needs to sort out

[Zor]

India has progressed a lot in the last half century but they still lag in numerous areas. One of the most notable of which is the disposal of human waste. In India about 58% of the population defecates in the public, more than any other country both in terms of absolute numbers and per capita.

The situation is the worst in the northeast of India and in rural areas. Make no mistake this is a huge concern. Millions of tonnes of human waste just left about to rot in the sun is a breeding ground for disease, especially in a densely populated country. Basically India needs to engage in a massive set of public works programs to expand their Infrastructure make lavatories lower these levels down as much as possible before disaster happens. Draconian enforcement of anti-public defecation laws would also be a good idea, but the Infrastructure definitely needs expanding.

It's certainly a shitty state of affairs. They need to cut the crap and get some movement going on. This won't be resolved until the bowels of the country are thoroughly flushed.

Butt that would require some heavy investment. They don't have the money to buy squat, with their market plunging as it is.

[Khaat]

Well, that discussion went down the crapper in a hurry!

I wish I could help with this but I'm plumbed out of ideas.

I came across a link the other day that seems to fit the direction this thread's taking. I'll just plop this down here:

Outsource the making of toilets to China. I hear there is an entire small village dedicated to manufacturing toilets.

Small village? I am sure there are huge factory complexes with the necessary work force to man a star destroyer with attached apartment buildings and colossal kilns that work ceaselessly dedicated entirely to turning out thousands of porcelain thrones a day.

Toilets for the Toilet God! Shitters for the Throne of Khrap!

For the areas described you don't just need toilets you need sewers or septic tanks. And treatment plants at the other end. And money to pay people to clean and run it. Large as their population is, it's not very dense in the north rural areas.

There are some cool initatives in the slums. Look up 'slum networking' for the plans regarding streams, slums and middle class areas.

This is among the most amazing things I've seen in quite some time. Thanks!

I hope they don't do that in the Ganges. I mean holy shit.

[Raw Shark]

You bet your ass they do.

I didn't realize their religion was actually spelled Hindoodoo...

Hey, I just had to plop something out there.

[Zeropoint]

I hope they don't do that in the Ganges. I mean holy shit.

Quite literally, given the status of that river in their religion.

Yeah, it's almost as if that was the punchline of a joke or something.

[U.P. Cinnabar]

And, they wonder why their country's in the shit....

Khrap: The unknown fifth Ruinous Power which politicians and management alike worship. Exterminatus to all Khrap cultists!

[Imperial528]

But what about Malal?

[NoXion]

This was the subject of a meme which originated on 4chan after an Indian poster on /int/ claimed that people only defecate in "designated shitting streets".
