>a large of sections of India are also very clean. pretty much available on same google maps.




>want me to show you filth in Paris? LA? NY? London? I can show similar to Indian filth in these cities.

the usual response. Sure go ahead. Even the fentayl infested Philadelphia ghettos are still cleaner than most indian streets that is for sure, with better roads and pavements.

the level of filth in India is not normal. Played the google maps game, and got this lovely view on first try, in vibrant gujarat after being ruled by BJP for 2 decades. do we have an urban planning thread?

So you took Pindia Challenge. Google Street View has been biggest disaster of India's image on social media.

If you pin 'at random' you will get fields, forests, sparsely populated villages/hamlets, hills and mountains mostly - like 9 out of 10 times (possibly more), no? I was using a VPN to search for keyword 'India' on TikTok. Some memberan mentioned that TikTok was boosting anti India content since its ban in India so went to check for myself - came across quite a few of those 'Google map pin' videos and almost all of them went that way only (ie, mostly villages, fields, forests, random highways and empty coastlines).

dont understand mentality of indian people....u hv too much to complain. do u did any activity in regard to clean ur neighbourhood, mohalla, surrounding etc?? if yes. than u hv all right to complain. but we see most indian who complain about cleaniness in india, do nothing for it. they only clean their house. nd criticise others about dirtiness of indian street etc. well its not only government duty.

if u care, than yes. we pay tax, police, court, make community, even hire bodyguards etc for our safety. do u think even then if u care about ur safety, u stop learning self defense or fighting for urself or others??

school times me plantation etc krne to most log jaate hai. although apke logic ke hisaab se to hume ve bhi nhi krna chahiye. coz government nd forest department etc hai hi vo krne ke liye bhi. but hum vo krte hai, coz hum environment ki thodi bhut to care krte hi hai.

I visited six random places in Gujarat on google street view. First place was a dusty, decrepit little village. thrice I was dropped amidst farms, once a spanking new park and a once in the courtyard of a brand spanking new intricately carved temple (it was stunning).

My conclusion, quite a bit of the stuff built in Gujarat is fairly new, well constructed and modern. All the structures I saw were pucca constructions, even in the dusty hamlet at the beginning. People tend to forget that a huge proportion of houses in India weren't concretised till a short while back. The scale of construction that happened over the last 10-15 years or so isn't talked about enough, and needs to be better documented. Agriculture's thriving in the state as all the fields I saw had healthy crops, even though they were evidently clicked at different times of different years.

You gotta remember that Gujarat's GDP per capita was less than $500 in 2001 when Modi took over. That's less than half of Bihar's current PCI. It was around $1200 when he left GJ, which is much lower than UP's per capita income right now. Fair to say that what you see in that picture is a legacy issue. Gujarat's a big state and it takes time to build things. People need to consider the efforts that have gone in to attain even our current state of being before levying broad criticism.

You don't have to look around too much to find the clean and well maintained places around you in India.
What part of total land they make up is different debate.​

OfCourse that will be the usual response because people now travel a lot more and have visited these infamous places. And no, those ghettos are not any cleaner than Indian streets.

The street aesthetics make more difference than cleanliness.

India is like ~60% Alluvial soil which will make us look dirty than it actually is. One way to hide that is plaster it all with concrete which makes the urban crowd cry more - "You made India a concrete Jungle"​
