What's the difference between the cleanest and dirtiest countries, Japan vs India?

As far as cleanliness is concerned, the gap between India and Japan is very large. It seems that the Japanese are born to love cleanliness and educate their children to love hygiene from an early age. They are very persistent about health problems. They should be spotless and their appearance must be very neat. They should take a bath every day, or clean it before soaking. There is even a smart toilet in the toilet, and it is almost mentally clean. But India is different. Most Indians are still in a primitive and wild state of mind, especially Hindus, who regard toilets as ominous things and are not allowed to build toilets at home. On the contrary, the middle and upper classes have no such scruples, and almost all have toilets. Moreover, Indians are generally dirty, often do not take a bath or wash their hair, and urinate in the street, and there are garbage dumps everywhere. But strangely, India is very different and has a strong sense of division. Needless to say, YSL people love hygiene very much. Kaya villages, even the cleanest villages in India, are internationally renowned and praised by many international photographers.

In fact, the root of India's dirty problem lies in its poor execution, low administrative efficiency, serious corruption, grandiosity and poor infrastructure. To keep the country clean, we must educate them to love hygiene from an early age, but many absurd and backward habits and concepts in Indian culture have not changed. Different castes, different classes and different religions are almost two worlds. To stop Indians from urinating along the street, besides publicity and education, it is more important to do a good job in infrastructure, pipeline construction and a large number of public toilets.

However, India has done a very poor job in this regard. Millions of public toilets are open-air, and they all pee along the street. And they are not so convenient, there is no flushing device, and there is no underground pipe to discharge. The result is a face-saving project that wastes money. More than 70% of India is in rural areas, and rural people are generally conservative. They regard building toilets in their own homes as an ominous sign, and they are too used to taking wild shit. Instead, they think it is close to nature and can fertilize without spending money on toilet paper. In fact, to put it bluntly, India's economy is not good enough, it has not benefited the vast rural areas, and the traffic is extremely unsmooth. Cars and trains have not spread to most areas, and there is no place to buy toilet paper. Moreover, India's per capita income is very low, so how much can be saved. India's ZF is too proud and eager to show its best side to the international community, but this has not fundamentally changed. India's infrastructure is extremely poor. There is no mechanism for recycling urban garbage, no publicity and education, littering everywhere, no cleaning, and no good underground pipeline construction, so the foundation for building toilets extensively is out of the question.

India is not clean, and the most important thing is that the water is not clean, and the Ganges River is seriously polluted. There is not only a lot of industrial and agricultural pollution, but also a lot of domestic garbage. What is even more frightening is that there are a large number of floating bodies. Indians regard the Ganges as the holy river and the mother river, and consider the Ganges water as holy water. After death, they will sink the body into the Ganges or burn it to ashes and scatter it on the Ganges. India's tap water treatment plants are seriously inadequate, Indians are basically disorderly, there is no concept of environmental protection, and India's ZF is also seriously under-regulated. The most fundamental reason is that India is very resistant to foreign investment and domestic private enterprises entering these fields.

If we want to do a good job in infrastructure, the problem of land expropriation is absolutely inevitable. But this is precisely the problem. India has always claimed to be the largest democracy with too many political parties. The central government's control over the other side is weak, and the cooperation and mutual trust between the central and local governments are weak. Often there are many slums, and it is very difficult to negotiate compensation. Moreover, many interest groups and evil forces took the opportunity to occupy and open their mouths, or forcibly expropriated and drove away the poor. ZF in India doesn't know how to deal with this matter. In any case, other parties will certainly attack the ruling party and oppose it for the sake of opposition. In this way, the party will struggle internally and waste a lot of time and money, but it can't do things well. India's national conditions are extremely complicated, with outrageous races and languages, lack of cohesion and abnormal folk cooking system. Actually, the problem is deeper. Long-term social problems will gradually become political problems if they are not solved. All parts of India are full of separatist forces, and power has spread to the Maoists in more than a dozen States. To put it bluntly, most of them are homeless and poor.
