Mysore has better sanitation management than most American cities.

Not everything is hunky dory in the West & not everything is bad in India.

America is a shithole. I don't care.

I want India not to be a shithole.

All Indian cities and towns must do what Indore has done. I was in Indore for 2 weeks last year and can confirm that the city is extremely clean.

I can stand by that. We can learn from examples in India.

Perhaps we need to create a buddy system where the top ten are paired with the bottom ten to improve cleanliness each year.

It has to start from the people. Indians by average are too desensitized to trash at public places. Only takes 10 people to start littering in an area, and a 1000+ follows because of sheer reflex.

Septicemia is a life threatening emergency & it's treatment would leave you broke in US . Healthcare system is a total fraud in US/UK/Canada as I've seen many citizens of aforementioned nations come to India for elective surgeries which demand a waiting period of upto 2-5 years over there.

Theres no waiting period in the US. I don't know about Canada. You cannot diagnose septicemia without an adequate workup. I will tell you that Indian healthcare is not nearly as good as for some fee that many villagers cannot afford, doctors will see patients for only 5 minutes where they wanton prescribe medications. We have this to some extent here, but not nearly as bad as what I experienced. People go to India for elective surgeries because it is cheaper, for now. But as I mentioned, western PE companies are gobbling up Indian hospitals. This will harm Indians long term. Indians have a big problem: Long term, strategic thinking. Short term money seems to trump long term for you people.

Prices aren't high just the average income is too low.

One cannot just spend 5 to 8% of his income in electricity bill.

For most people even a dustbin isn't affordable let alone thrash bag which costs 500 for 100 to 150 rolls.
People who earn more adopt to better standards but they are merely 10% of the population.

Tbh I believe electricity prices can be cheaper in India than anywhere else if a surgical precision is made to make nuclear plants

This was about a decade back.

Every street had 1 large bin where you sent your trash to. Garbage collection would be done twice a week.

She felt it was too much work to take the trash 200 M away from her home and would dispose it in the empty plot of land.

Thats the fault of municipal authorities for failing to catch her and fine her heavily. The reason why nobody pollutes in my neighborhood is because once they catch you the fines are steep and they make an example out of her. Someone needs to make an example out of her.

 

[Blademaster]

The average carbon footprint of an Indian citizen is around 1.6 tonnes per year

There is no reason for an Indian to feel guilty with a 10x smaller footprint.

Yes but the average amerian citizen put all of his/her trash in the appropriate places whereas the average Indian don't. That's the key difference. America has excellent infrastructure for disposing trash while India doesn't. Look at that huge mountain of trash on the outskirts of Delhi that caught fire. You won't see that thing happening a lot in America. Sure there have been incidences but America usually figure out the problem and tackle it. India doesn't. Its more of a chaltai hai attitude.

Her Husband was a mid level Police guy.

No municipal guy would dare to fine them.

Indore is indeed very clean. WHy can't other Indian cities emulate Indore? What can central government do to encourage other cities to follow Indore's way? especially delhi

It's merely a matter of intent at the municipality level. It can be done in every city and town.

How Indore Became India’s Cleanest City (And How Others Can Follow)

Indore, Madhya Pradesh: Every morning, garbage vans across Indore play the celebratory song, “Indore hua hai number one (Indore has become number one),” sung by Bollywood singer Shaan in 2017, when...

These are the secrets to Indore's 5-year 'cleanest city' streak. And it's not rocket science

Indore is Madhya Pradesh’s largest and most populated city. A responsible & responsive public, and an army of 'safai mitras', are key allies in this city's successful cleanliness drive.

Being poor and being clean are not interrelated. You can be both poor and clean. I've said this before I will say this again: I have directly observed Indians look at an empty trash can and throw their bottle or whatever on the street. What does being poor have to do with that?

i have seen the same from americans and canadians and in general americans and canadians are far worse in personal hygene than indians are.

it is far worse in the US if you do not have health insurance, every step of the healthcare industry is far more expensive for the average american than an average indian. as i said, stop lying.

I'd have bought the membership if not for his algo screwing against Indians.

then stop making comparisons with murrica if you dont want truth about murrica, bub.
American healthcare system is FAR more expensive for someone without insurance, than Indian one is. So you lied again.

Jesus. You are an idiot. Leave Canada.
