I used to love India, and travelled there many times pre pandemic. It was always chaotic, but manageable....4 years later post pandemic, i went i am still in worst than ever in every sense. Open sewers of friend vomited on the street with such a bad Air pollution and noise pollution with honking every second. Population exceeding China and proud of it....one hour to get gas with long lines at gas stations....poverty out of control (77%).... so harrassment, begging is so intense and aggressive, makes you lose all your compassion....Scams are everywhere and with everyone...that is what extreme poverty will breed....hotter than ever with climate change, got sick twice, requiring hospital HYGIENE WHAT couldln't wait that my flight left the Indian soil and what a relief when it took off.... First time in my life am not sad to leave a country. Future super power?? What a joke.... Advanced in technology, doesn't make you become a super power.... we can see what the values of this culture

Just imagine how much money you can earn in trash recycling in India. It's literally a gold mine.

And yet these people refuse to stop breeding.

This is how India gained independence. The British couldn't stand India's beautiful clean culture.

All Indian politicians thrive on religion and caste prejudices. They dont need to do any work.

The fact that Romans 2k years ago, 2 freakking thousands years ago, lived 10 times better than them, with more hygiene, decency, cleaning themselves etc etc.
Even slaves lived waaaay better than this…

If you think about the fact Romans had sewers, they had they had aqueducts, public bathrooms, running water in the house, heating etc etc....

and we have to see this mess and filth in 2024???
with all the knowledge and technologies we have today, this is just a lack of discipline, self-love and empathy towards others.... as well as not having respect for one's own land....

and the thing that amazes me the most is that Indians on the Internet are among the most patriotic users and convinced that they live in a superpower... I'm speechles

Need to reduce population and urban planning, also people need to be penalised for throwing trash
