I had read about. I also w ent by train and bus to countless tow ns and open fields
that w eren’t so famous, and everyw here there w ere people had something in
common — dirty, messy and stank. Interestingly, I also saw countless foreigners
having a great time.

A holy ground covered with feces! Note: No toilet paper!
Tourists have been coming for years to the small tow n of Bodhgaya , the place
w here 2500 years ago Buddha achieved enlightenment, bringing their foreign
money to the pockets of a few hotels and tourism operators, but still they live in
abject poverty. The streets are lined w ith rubbish, w ild animals squabble to find
their breakfast in it. Look carefully and find w ild pigs, dogs, mountain goats, and
sometimes even cow s, w hich are considered sacred, make an appearance. No
w onder the locals don’t each much meat, these animals depend on trash to survive.
Cow dung is the most environmentally friendly fuel source
India is very dry, and vegetation scarce. Sometimes you’ll sw eep your eyes over the
horizon and only see a barren expanse. Rural villagers use firew ood, but like using
cow dung more. In cities and tow ns, sacred cow s fill the streets, defecating Chinese Waitress Smoking A
w herever they please. Cow dung is the most eco-friendly kindling of all, and this Cigarette With A Vacant Stare
means less trees need to be cut dow n. Moreover if the manure that is produced is
not removed daily, a small tow n w ould probably quickly drow n in it.
You often see see w omen collecting fresh manure, packing it together w ith hay
using both hands, then carefully sticking it against a w all to dry. The manure largely
contains grass that the sacred cow s are unable to digest. For Indians, this kind of
smell is natural, and tourists w ho have stayed aw hile get used to it. In my tw o
months in India, I learned to accept the piles of cow dung that fill the streets, and
their all pervading odor. Compared w ith the smell of the dung of carnivores, the
smell isn’t as strong. Indians have an undying reverence for their sacred cow s,
w hich makes me automatically think of people in the modern age and their frivolous
materialism.
Puri is a tourist hot spot on the east coast, w here heaven and hell come together.
One side of tow n is the hotel area, w ith its picturesque beaches, the other side is a

villager w ould defecate on the beach. It w asn’t only villagers w ho w ould take a

sneaking off to a secluded spot in the undergrow th. Everyw here from small tow ns

One can’t criticise people for reliving themselves on the beach or in a field, after all
this is w hat our ancestors had to do, all the Indians are doing is preserving a
natural w ay of life that has continued for tens of thousands of years. This is one of
the most natural parts of the w ay people there live, and it’s only w e foreigners w ho
make a fuss about it. It’s just that urinating on the street in a big city after all isn’t
very decent, but I am sure that w ith the increasing pace of modernization, India’s HK Travel Agency Pays Mainland
cities w ill very quickly take on a new look. China’s toilet usage/habits have come a

I am filthy, but I am brilliant. In the ancient city of Varanasi [Benares], on the banks
of the Ganges, all the sew age created by people relieving themselves on the
ground in corners, and the rubbish, everything flow s into that sacred river, the same
w ater w here pilgrims come from all over, brushing their teeth, w ashing their faces,
bodies, and sw imming. How ever, the dirty Ganges and Varanasi are India’s most
beautiful place, lots of foreigners love it, staying for months at a time. I lived there
for a w hile, living like a local, sw imming in the river like one of them. The ancient
tow n’s intense artistic spirit and religious fervour made me forget material poverty.
This important part of the Indian psyche is passed dow n even today: the spirit is
greater than physical riches.
India is indeed “dirty”, “messy” and “smelly” but I have gotten more out of it than
any other place I have been. If this w asn’t the case in my tw o months I w ouldn’t
have met so many expats w ho return often, or never leave. As the Taiw anese
dancer Lin Huaimin said, w henever he is stuck for artistic inspiration, he goes back
to India.
Maybe only in the most disgusting of material surroundings, and the basest living

Let’s put the corpses-in-the-Ganges-River aside for a moment, and talk about
Indians using the toilet. Have a look at the three pictures below …
These three toilet photographs represent three levels of toilets in India. Note w hat
is common to all of them, w hich is that none of them have any toilet paper, but all of
them have a bucket of w ater at arms length… yes, you’ve guessed correctly,
Indians don’t use toilet paper w hen using the toilet, they use their hands. After
defecating, you use your left hand finger to w ipe the feces around your anus, and
then use the w ater in the bucket to w ash your hand. The custom is to use your left
hand to w ipe your butt, so w hen you go into a store to select food, you mustn’t use
your left hand.
JY people believe, this is actually is a good habit. The first benefit is that cases of
hemorrhoids are significantly low er; the second is that it can greatly save paper,
good for protecting the earth’s resources and the development of green initiatives.
So just by doing this, it saves a great amount of w ood.
I’m not sure if I should bring out this photo…a sick elderly person, lonely standing
by the Ganges River. I don’t know if he is appreciating the true meaning of life or
bemoaning the helplessness of human existence…that helpless expression…that
remarkable face carved by the years…is unforgettable…
Don’t look if you w on’t like it…you are responsible for yourself…

An old fish catcher on the shore of the Ganges River.

…I don’t have the courage to try it, not sure if this kind of fish w ill have a human
flesh flavor…
This needs no introduction as many compatriots are able to eat it domestically [in

Comments from Tianya:
白_ 马_ 非_ 马 (on Tianya) & 君子坦蛋蛋 (on LiuLiu):
I just w ant to say, there are a lot of places in China that are just the same.
Don’t use the same air of superiority that Hong Kong and Taiw an people have
w hen they look at mainlanders to look at India. I don’t like it.
英语绵绵 (on Tianya) & 七夜 (on LiuLiu):
All this is easy to fix, just use violence. China uses the hukou system to keep
the poor population from settling in cities, and then uses chengguan to beat the
rabble to death. The cities w ill then look very nice.
bjw h50: (responding to above comment)
Actually, this is exactly how America does it, using violence to beat the Indians
[Native Americans] to death, pushing the Asian, African, and poor out into the
country, running the poor w hite people into the surrounding outskirts of the
cities. America’s police are even more terrible than China’s chengguan. If you’re
w ithin tw o meters of a police officer, you have to raise your hands, otherw ise
American police have the right to shoot you dead.
怎样走路 (on Tianya) & 绿毛怪 (on LiuLiu):
Taking a bath in this kind of river w ater…
And they say you w ill receive spiritual enlightenment…
Lou zhu might as w ell go try a septic tank, and see if you achieve even greater
enlightenment, even greater consolation/comfort.
This kind of filthy country doesn’t think it is a shame but instead thinks it is
glorious. Truly speechless.

In the late 1970 w hen the West’s interest in China w as kicking off, a French

the major mode of transport for tw o thirds of Beijingers. The host said these
ancient people really understood how to live in harmony w ith nature, w hich is
w hy they chose such a environmentally friendly w ay of getting around, and that
it made them Europeans feel ashamed.
keanuzhu1982:
Wasn’t it said that they are throw n into the Ganges River after being cremated?
W hat do you do if you w ere sw imming in the Ganges and accidentally ran into a
corpse?
edali:
Kosuke Kindaichi said in a murder case, the hardest thing for a murderer to do
is getting rid of the body.
Kosuke Kindaichi has obviously never been to India, because in India, getting
rid of a body is too simple. Just buy some firew ood and burn the body in broad
daylight w ill do it. Murderers that are truly lazy murderers can just throw the
corpse in a river and be done w ith it.
Comments from Mop:
jameskin:
W hen Indians themselves see how dirty India is, how bodies float in the river,
they don’t feel bad about it???
伽菲肥猫:
Although different people have their ow n customs, after seeing the photos

There are a lot of Indians.

天下第一:
My God! Bodies can be seen so easily in the river! The Lou zhu w as even able

禁止登录:
Bo die s floating in Chinese rivers aren’t unheard of (drow ning victims, people
w ho have fallen in, those w ho kill themselves, can be found anyw here). In
recent years, changes have been w idespread and only after they have finished
w ill this situation change.
A s for going sw imming amongst dead bodies, people from different

perspectives have different thinking, just like how the Chinese can’t understand
how the Africans eat mice, and the Africans can’t see how the Chinese eat
frogs.
騎豬趕驢:
India is so dry, you really think people w ant to live like that?
[You don't think] they don’t w ant to live w ell? Don’t w ant to be like us and drink

We can’t look at them in that w ay, they live like that because they have no

Dude,
Go to sichuan especially cities like de yang, w en chuan, zi yang, you w ill

find shits like this ( There are minorities in these places mostly from YI,
TIBETAN and QIANG), In yunan people use leaves and bamboo leaves to
w ipe their ass because they are poor. Tell me how many chinese guys
take show er everyday or brush your teeth in w inter. Tibet is much more
w orse than India, People there used to eat shit of dalai lama thinking
that it w ill cure some disease and even now they use their ow n urine to
w ash themselves w ith the belief it can get rid of skin infections. Go to
Anhui, Henan, Ningxia, Qinhai and visit all the places in china and first
know china w ell before making any judgments. The hard truth is most of
you chinese know only history w ritten by your goverment and not the
real side of the story. So arise, aw ake and cleanse your country. Also an
educated person no matter w her ever she/he is from w on’t argue or try
to make fun of poverty. Poverty is everyw here, Gap betw een rich and
poor is everyw here and shits like w hat you see in the picture is
everyw here. If needed anyone can post pictures of anything ( including
the w eed and sex culture in holland or may be people eating organs of
animals in siberia or mongolia or the w eird eating habits of chinese and

poverty in the United States but you generally w on’t be able

Plus you’re talking about people cleaning and the like, but

Yay, thanks for this post w hich puts so much in perspective!

I w as peeved today w hen my garbage disposal w as upset by a pair of scavenging
Chinese immigrants. (like this: http://w w w .leparisien.fr/diaporama-
photos/index.php?id=1084684&photo=2&pub=&rub= )
It’s a brand new phenomenon, their numbers have gone from 0 to 200 active
practitioners in under a month, after it w as made public that the Roma w ere
deported, DongBei people moved in immediately to close the business gap!
How ever, noticing the different mindset of the free Indian citizens, I am now less
concerned about these HuaRen pilfering my garbage. In a small w ay, again, you

I w asn’t aw are garbage could be “pilfered.” To pilfer means that you still
w anted the garbage. Garbage is public property, and it’s good that there are
dumpster divers recycling materials in such a manner.
Reply
xmcx
W hereas this w ould be true in a disorganized third w orld jungle, it does

not apply to Europe.
1)Companies specialize in treating the garbage to recycle as much as
possible and pollute as little as possible in the end. These companies
rely on the income they could make from any valuables left in the
garbage. W hen DongBei people go through the bins first, they are
depriving a w ell structured industrial company of its necessary income in
order to run their ow n small scale ex-garbage-retail operation. All in all,
the DongBei people make something for free and society as a w hole is
left much the w orst. The garbage treatment plants have been designed
over decades since the industrial revolution in the West, and are
undebatably more efficient recyclers than small scale hand laborers.
2) Less than 10 years back (before authoritarian states increased their
aggressive dumping of shoddy goods into our economies) no one w as
interested in a second hand garbage-salvage market. As a
consequence, you could safely throw out envelopes, torn up cheques,
official papers, w ith a sufficient sense of security that the chain of
events took them from a w ell identified garbage man to a w ell identified
garbage treatment plan. W ith these new laborers you cannot begin to
guess w ho is looking through everything you put outside. And getting
to know them is not such a great idea, the vast majority are illegal
immigrants forced into labor by HuaRen that are better left alone.
So, all in all, Joe, not so good a turn of events. Of course, given the
excess population in China, I suppose one has to be understanding. It
just made me feel sad to see these people so far aw ay from their
mother land, so far aw ay from the dream of prosperity in their mother
land. And to repeat myself, the pictures above do put that feeling into

“shoddy” goods? China’s industries can produce at many quality

based on price point, w hich China delivers. Somehow China is to

Le Pen frog, you are raving a lot of bull. There is a tiny amount of
garbage treatment and recycling in Europe, but by far not to the
extent you are lying about to back your F-haine prejudices.
And it has few to do w ith the pictures show n.
The garbage treatment industries surely do not care about poor

people collecting some useables from garbage bins.
The pictures may fan the fires of your and your fascist friends’

the PRC. It is not important, anyw ay. You and your ilk w ill spout

the Spanish, and they are not in your list so I’m just going to
go ahead and say that you have no idea.
Furthermore – the Chinese had to build an industrial base

from scrap because of w ar? You mean the w ar that destroyed
the glorious, modern and flourishing Chinese industries of the
1930s and 20s? Errrhm…. Buddy, the Chinese had to
industrialize in the 50s because their arrogant view of the
rest of the w orld as being inferior to the great Middle Kingdom
and only w orthy of giving gifts instead of trade put them on
the sidelines long before any opium w ar, let alone the second

I w ould be the first to say that India is a shithole compared to

China but that certainly doesn’t say much about China –

Alikese, Manchuria occupied by Japan is just an example of

China’s suffering from colonialism and imperialism. Calvin said
it w ell above: “Colonization doesn’t have to be total
domination to be destructive.” During that one hundred year,
China experienced many military defeats, giving land
concessions and huge amount of compensations to w estern
pow ers and Japan.
As a matter of facts, China’s suffering from Sino-Japan w ar

w as relatively short but devastating compared to India’s long
term suffering from British’s exploition.
Alikese
Do you really think that China losing tiny parcels of land (Hong
Kong, Macau, Qingdao) and losing some concessions to the
West during their dow nfall is equal to India’s status as an
Imperial Colony for hundreds of years in terms of colonial
se tbacks? There is no w ay. I think you’re just arguing now
because you don’t w ant to backtrack.
Chef Rocco
Alikese, you sound argumentative now . Read my orginal post

again, w here did I state : China suffered from colonialism
exactly same as India?
Talking about samilarities, your criteria to measure scale of

sufferings appears to focus solely on length of time, but how
about intensity of suffering? i.e., death from w ars, economic
and infrastructure loss, psychogical effects, cultural treaures
destroying and stealing, etc. This may be a thesis of Phd., you

Yes, people like you and Harshil are indeed w riting a lot of
crap and are insisting stubbornly. None of you seems to have
ever read a history textbook.
At the end of the third quarter of 18th century, both India and
China w ere prosperous ancient civilizations w ith high
economic output, gross as w ell as per capita. Average
standard of living w as far higher than in any European
country (the US included).
Both, by different methods, fell victim of Western and later

Japanese expansionism, the one by conquest of the w hole
country, the other by forced “free trade”, Opium Wars,
coerced unfair treaties, land grabs and concessions.
In the beginning, Indians suffered more, under British looting,

violence, and catastrophic famines caused by the destruction
of Indian textile industries. Later, the prevalence of a
pow erless and inept feudal regime follow ed by the
disintegration into countless w arlords’ dominions and a nearly
five decades lasting period of unrest and civil w ar, later full
intensity w arfare, may have impaired China w ays more w hile
India somew hat recovered through an imposed Western style
educational system and some infrastructure such as railw ays
and streets, as w ell as some industry.
So, history of the last 200-220 years of both countries bear

significant similarities. W hen India is rating low er today,
colonialism and its impacts is not a good explanation or
excuse.
Btw . things are not that simple. India, as w ell, is now

developping at a fairly good pace, and both countries should
learn from one another and cooperate. Anyw ay, the example
of India show s that the mantra “introduce democracy, and
corruption, ethnic unrest and all other evils w ill w ane” does
not w ork that w ay.
jixiang
Come on now . China w as colonized, w hat do you think the opium

w ar w as? And yes, the land and population sizes do make for a
comparison. The half of China w here 90% of the Chinese live is not
that much bigger than India in size.

@Sachin, that link is from 2007.
According to the SCMP today, citing Forbes, there are 128

billionaires on the Chinese mainland, up from 79 last year.
Most are w ealthy due to recent IPOs, after listing their companies
on the mainland or Hong Kong stock exchanges.
“China now trails only the United States in terms of the number of
billionaires.”
In 2000, only 2 mainland tycoons made it to the Forbes list.
“The strong entrepreneurial spirit, buoyant stock and asset

markets, China’s sustained economic grow th, as w ell as
appreciation of the renminbi, are going to produce an even bigger
number of billionaires at a stunning pace in the years to come”
said the chief editor of Forbes China.
This is not to put dow n India at all – both China & India (ChIndia)
are emerging market economies w hich are going through high-
grow th phases. The pie is getting bigger for both countries, and
entrepreneurs w ith the right combination of hard-w ork,

over 42 thousand w ere born in Asian countries. 40% of New York’s
Chinese population do not speak English w ell at all.
http://w w w .aafny.org/research/dl/911study/08AppendixA.pdf
Chinatow n residents have low job skills, limited English ability and
educational attainment. Most are blue-collar w orkers. 44% of Chinese
New Yorkers did not finish high school. 71% reported difficulty w ith
English as major barriers to employment. 85% of applicants for job
training apply for referral to English as Second Language courses.
They are also the backbone of a vibrant tourism, apparel manufacturing,

retail, transportation and restaurant economy. These are hard-w orking
and incredibly productive people, w ho despite a great deal of
challenges manage to hang on and provide a better life for their
children.
Please don’t cast aspersions on them simply because they don’t use
w hat you think are the politically-correct terms to refer to non-Chinese.
They don’t have the luxury of time or education to think about those
things – they are too busy w orking.
They can only hope that someday their children might get an education

Sadly the river w ill look like that for the foreseeable future. The poor are alw ays
going to burn the bodies poorly then throw them into the river in addition to
dumping in it. It’s not just because the river is holy, but its convenient for the poor
to bathe and defecate it it because w ell, they don’t have indoor plumbing. Half of
the commenters probably w ouldn’t believe if you told them w hat other cities in the

Things w orse than dead bodies are floating in your rivers. The poisons of industry,
w hen not properly disposed of, are difficult to to remove from the w ater sources
around you. Remember, if you as a nation do not hold businessmen accountable
for their actions, they w ill not do so themselves.
The w ater, filled w ith invisible pollutants fills the bodies of you and your children
and slow ly kills them.
These Indians here have learned to cope w ith the poverty and death around
them by standing and w atching like it is nothing.
W ill you simply stand by, just as these Indians, as some already w ealthy person

Agree w ith you 100%. Chinasmack picks controversial topics and radical
opinion to translate and the translation frankly is somehow inaccurate as
w e ll. On the same Tianya forum, there are discussions about an Indian
Supreme Court’s decision to ban local police from harassing small street
vendors, for w hich Chinese netizens w ere mightily impressed. But of course
that type of discussions w as not sensational enough for Chinasmack.

Well, I think you should neither think badly of India nor of the article starting
this discussion. Yet, the author makes a lot of not so unfriendly remarks on
India, so do several of the commentators.
India, not unlike China, is a continent, a w orld rather than a country, and you
can find lots of beauty as w ell as filth in both of them.
I saw (tiny parts of) India first 24 years ago, and back then, it w as a much
more depressing experience, w ith much misery and a small but arrogant
class of rich people, but even then, the country w as full of beauty and
friendly people. W hen I w as in India last time in 2006, impressive
improvements had taken place though there is still a lot left to desire.
Clearly, India has a long w ay to go to overcome poverty and
underdevelopment, but is on her w ay doubtlessly.
The pictures proper are a bit provocant as w ell. Those burial practices cannot
be observed overall in India, and I am sure that many Indians have neither
seen them many even not heard of.

Indians I think have a much more pessimistic outlook on their country than
“Westerners” do, at least in America lately the media has been going on and
on about how “India is the next China” and “Invest w hile you can still get in
on the ground floor” etc. etc.
India reported something like 10% grow th so far this year? Maybe a little
less than that, but that’s still a lot of progress, it seems to me.

I did not find China that dirty. Spoilt suburbian middle class brats may judge
that w ay, but actually, most streets and places are cleaned up regularly, and
the public cesuo have improved a lot during the last thirty years. Actually,
public toilets in every street are something still to come for India.
Actually, overall India is not that filthy as the pictures may suggest. There are
crow ded places w hich are indeed unclean, much more than crow ded places
in China, but there are also nice and w ell tended parks, temple areas and
other places w hich are peaceful and relatively clean. And there is lot of
landscape, countryside, and recreation areas in India w hich are not dirty at
all.
Granted, my impression is that Chinese are somew hat better in organizing

than Indians, and they already w ere decades back, w hen China w as poorer
than India is today.

hot-spots and don’t really see how most people live you may get the
impression that it’s clean, but that w ould be a false impression. Yes, in
many places local governments are trying to clean up the mess, but the

W hen an article is w ritten its easy to blow things out of proportion. This is exactly
w hat the author has done.
The people w ho are dropping the bodies into the ganges are not savages, these
are decent people w ho make a decent living, may even ahve a car or tw o, and
w ith the taxes here, they are probably tw ice as costly as you chinese or
americans may be paying for it.
Its the belief system thats at fault here. This is a ritual being practiced since ages.
Its limited only to the ganges.
Hundreds of yrs ago, the population w asnt so high and the river could easily cope
up w ith it..
No due to population explosion, the river cant cope up w ith it, and w e get to see
these pics, hand picked to show the w orst of india.
Now w e must understand the difference betw een bad people and bad customs.
There are tribes all over the w orld w ho do w ay more savage things and have
much more revolting customs. Take it in that sense.
This is not the w hole of India, its perhaps 0.000001 % of india.
As for the animals roaming and all, lets just say that w e Indians respect living
things in general, animals are not rounded up and killed in masses, unless there is
a plague or something.
We respect all the creations of mother nature. Its some thing that is set in out
mindset and killing a cow or dog or pigs is looked dow n upon as being cruel and
against nature.
As for the chinese pointing fingers, w ith all that shit you eat, do you really w ant to
point fingers at us?
This is shit, and it exists i agree, but these are the places people visit once in 5-10
yrs and not exposed to for more that 1hr. So there isnt much in terms of
unhygienic exposure.
But you chinese eat all sort of shit regularly, yes *EAT*. Nobody in India eats
these corpses.They just let it flow aw ay and leave because they believe that it w ill
give their dead loved ones a good after life.
Dont read much into this, our government is lazy like most other governments in
the w orld. and since people mostly just visit these places once in a decade, they
dont really take an initiative to make the govt cleanup these places.
Again this is not the w hole of India. Its merely one of those black dots on the map
of india, somethign you can easily avoid visiting.

She know s they are tw o different countries. That’s w hy she put the
note. She w anted to see if anyone else w ould notice. The information is
in the EXIF. It’s possible the original poster didn’t even notice it.
There are tw o w ays to read the original Chinese post. A) The

photographs are being passed off as being taken by the original w riter.
B) The photographs are included to illustrate w hat the w riter saw .
It isn’t obvious to most but is obvious to many that the photographs are
definitely not taken by the original w riter. Different sizes is a good tell.
There’s even copyright text on one of them. If w e assume the w riter is
passing them off as his ow n, then w e get a really bad impression of the
w riter, something along the lines of intentionally trying to highlight
India’s uglier sides specifically for Chinese audiences to feel superior.
How ever, w e also have arguments by people like Vince w ho say the
translations fail to accurately reflect the original “reverential” tone. If w e
accept that, then w e might have a bad impression of the ChinaSmack
translator (maxiew aw a) for misrepresenting the original Chinese post.
Either that or w e’re choosing to read the post in specific w ays. So w hich
is it?
I personally think the w riter definitely intended to share the uglier side
of India. W hether it is out to intentionally put dow n another country to
boost China’s ow n ego is harder to be certain of but the suspicion isn’t
unw arranted. At the same time, how ever, the w riter openly and clearly
acknow ledges certain things about India (spirituality) that are arguably
positive. Even so, the lasting impression is the dead bodies.
At the end of the day, w hat w e have here is just evidence that Chinese
people have opinions about other countries just like all of us have
opinions about China. Including mistaken or unfair opinions.

So they should change the title to “Filthy Ganges River

suggesting that these reactions are those of Chinese

I understand your basic point w ishing the title had been a bit

Time to educate the masses first off the translations here are off trying reading
the article and comments on reddit
http://w w w .reddit.com/r/W TF/comments/dw yex/the_beautiful_ganges_river_nsfw /
not only have the people w ho posted comments taken the time to translate
properly as seen in this post
“Moinllieon 35 points36 points37 points 15 hours ago* [-]
There’s some mistranslation there, some things seem to have been lost in
translation.
In one part it w as translated as “How ever, the dirty Ganges and Varanasi are
India’s most beautiful place, lots of foreigners love it, staying for months at a
time.” Making him seem kind of condescending and smug. In reality, w hat he really
said in Chinese w as: “ 然而，肮脏的恒河和瓦拉纳西却是印度最有魅力的地方，许多外国游客爱
上这里，一呆几个月”
The key adjective he used is “ 魅力”, w hich does not translates to “beautiful” in
terms of superficial beauty, but in a deeper sense. W hat the OP meant is that he
felt some unexplainable and intangible attraction tow ards Varanasi.
Another example: “ 这就是印度人繁衍至今的秘诀：精神高于物质。” w as translated as

“This important part of the Indian psyche is passed dow n even today: the spirit is
greater than physical riches.”
In reality, it should’ve been translated as: “This is the secret to the prosperity of
the Indian people throughout history:…”
There are several other examples littered throughout the translation that subtlely
changes the meaning of the original phrase. Overall, the original Chinese passage
is much MUCH more reverential of the spiritual experience that the poster
experienced w hile in India than the English translation suggests.
As for the response of on the Chinese forums, I contend that the Internet
Dickw ad Theory is applicable in China as w ell. But the article definitely w ent out of
its w ay to pick the most… provocative comments to translate. Some of the
smugness in the comments to the misplaced Chinese smugness are just as
disgraceful to be honest. Hopefully nobody in China pick out just the w orst ones
to translate into Chinese so that the Chinese netizens get to act all smug about
the misplaced smugness of these “Westerners”.
TL;DR: Smugness begets smugness, hopefully it w on’t beget more smugness.”
There is also a reason w hy the bodies are show n the w ay they are:
“randomhobo 40 points41 points42 points 18 hours ago[-]
Pretty much. The river is considered holy and many Hindus choose to have their
remains placed there. If the deceased’s family has money, they w ill cremate the
dead on a pyre before floating the ashes into the river. These cremation
ceremonies are happening constantly from dusk to daw n. If the family doesn’t
have money for a cremation, they just put the body in the river.
Also, certain people – holy men, babies, people w ho died from snakes bites,
pregnant w omen and w hores (I believe) – are not allow ed to be cremated
according to local custom, so they are just placed in the river.
I may be w rong about some of this, but that’s w hat I remember being told w hen I
w as there. Maybe a more know ledgeable redditor w ill correct me.

I am Indian born in London and been to India 3 times and going again in January.
I have to say that as soon as you step off the plane you get hit by the humidity
and smell. The smell is bad but its the not the smell of human faeces, you only
smell that in the toilets or w hen you w alk past some shit on the side of the road.
But that’s India if you got a w eak nose and stomach then you probably w on’t like
it there.
As for the corpses, dead bodies are can be seen in nearly every continent that
suffers from poverty from south america, africa to asia. Not everyone can afford to
pay for funeral services. At least in my opinion they are returned to the Earth and
feed the w ildlife.
In my opinion Indian is one hell of dirty country and hygiene is something people
3/4 probably don’t care about, w hen there are struggles to feed oneself and
family I really w ouldn’t give 2 craps w here I shit as long I have something too shit.
Everyone I believe should pay at least 1 visit to India it may be dirty and smell
aw ful and you may get the shits and be sick but it is also one of the most
naturally beautiful countries you can every see. W here else can you see such
abundance of life, peace and happiness in one place.
If you admire the the natural beauty’s of the Earth, the w ildlife, ancient
architecture, flow ers and trees, free roaming cow s and elephants in cities,
peaceful pleasant people, India is a must.
And finally everyone here posting on computers and laptops and mobile phones
should be grateful you have these things, free flow ing hot and cold w ater, fridges
full of food but most importantly family w ho have w orked incredibly hard to help
provide these things for. You can see there are countless people in horrible

It’s easy to criticise, and I did above, but how about suggesting some
solutions? I think the religion dictates that the bodies should be burned and
the ashes be scattered in the river. This means that burial is not an option.
As there is obviously not enough firew ood, and the w ood and the priests w ill
be too expensive for many people, bodies and bits of bodies end up in the
w ater. My solution is to make a concave stretcher from armour plate, fill it
w ith thermite (w hich should not destroy the armour plate), put the body on
top, cover it w ith a token amount of w ood, burn it completely to ashes, and
tip them into the river. The problem w ith this idea is that it w ill still cost
money. On the plus side, the fires w ould make for a more visual spectacle.
Perhaps another poster can come up w ith something cheaper and simpler?

i do most agree w ith you FP…the solutions that can be so possible for
even poor people is the best w ay ,better to bitch these people w ho just
have their old and traditional practices for life w hich got from their
ancestors .but still i think the most guiltiest is the government that let it
stays till now days .but all know (even if those innocent people dont
)that is so harmful for humans to be surrounded by dead bodies and
w ith those terrible conditions..w hile dogs and crow s are eating the
remains of them.i feel so sorry but not for people as they think w hat
they believe is so true ,maybe they need to get help and back to some
science about health and sanitation .w e all can have our cultures and
customs and beside religions but even all those did not w ant us to keep
closing our eyes and ears to listen the improvements in every aspect of
know ledge about good life although it is a little hard w ith poverty ,i
know and accept this as a fact in the w orld,but in each level of that w e
can try to be the best as w e are humans and the most cleverest and
strongest creature on this globe .lets think of w hat can some one raise
w ith from the childhood since get adolescence .they w hom w e see
above are not animals at all,only suffer w ith a very hide pain but merely
think about their beliefs more than any thing else,if w e have some thing
to prove them w hat is more precious ,lets point that out friends :))
,every one start w ith himself and after all us can be a sample. Great
thank to u dear FP because of your big heart and follow ing mind to think
of the SOLUTIONS .love all ^^

There are some unusual and strange things there, many of them creepy and

river in the w orld? Every body of w ater on this planet, everyone w e get our
drinking w ater and food from, is filled w ith countless corpses of animals and the
excrement of everything that lives on or near it. Does even a million human
corpses in a river like that compare to all the billions of corpses of every other
creature floating around in every other body of w ater? Do the cow s of India
compare to the feed lots of Nebraska and all their shit floating dow n the
Mississippi to create dead zones in the Gulf of Mexico? Show w aht’s “unusual”

that people eat things from those rivers is absurd and ignorant.

many indians are so helpful and open hearted people, really I

that a w esterner in India, they really can have a hard time
everyw here because so many people are nice to them only
because they w ant to get money from them (I’m not talking
about you and general family and honest people). But Even in
the tempels and other holy places w esternes don’t get
minute of peace and they might also be there w anting to pray
and get some peace so on…there is alw ays somebody after
them for w anting something. This is totally not respecting
other people at all. If here in my country in europe somebody
says something, she/he means it and I can trust that and
there is no different prices and rules for foreigners. example.

even comes from sanskrit, Algebra, Trigonometry and Calculus are studies
w hich originated in India,The’ place value system’ and the ‘decimal system’
w ere developed in 100 BC in India,India is…….the Largest democracy in the
w orld, the 6th largest country in the w orld AND one of the most ancient and
living civilizations (at least 10, 000 years old),The game of snakes & ladders
w as created by the 13th century poet saint Gyandev. It w as originally called
‘Mokshapat,chess w as invented in India today it’s played all over the
w orld,The World’s first university w as established in Takshila in 700 BC. More
than 10,500 students from all over the w orld studied more than 60 subjects.
The University of Nalanda built in the 4th century w as one of the greatest
achievements of ancient India in the field of education,Although modern
images & descriptions of India often show poverty, India w as one of the
richest countries till the time of British in the early 17th Century. Christopher
Columbus w as attracted by India’s w ealth and w as looking for route to India
w hen he discovered America by mistake,Bhaskaracharya rightly calculated
the time taken by the earth to orbit the sun hundreds of years before the
astronomer Smart. His calculations w as – Time taken by earth to orbit the
sun: ( 5th century ) 365.258756484 days,Algebra, trigonometry and calculus
also orignated from India. Quadratic equations w ere used by Sridharacharya
in the 11th century. The largest numbers the Greeks and the Romans used
w ere 106 w hereas Hindus used numbers as big as 10*53 ( i.e 10 to the
pow er of 53 ) w ith specific names as early as 5000 B.C. during the Vedic
period. Even today, the largest used number is Tera: 10*12( 10 to the pow er
of 12 ). Until 1896, India w as the only source for diamonds to the w orld.I can
go on for days. W hat is Iran? NOTHING, but a terrorist desert dw elling nation
filled w ith barbaric nazis w ho hate the w orld and all non-muslims. To the
person w ho took these pics I’ve been to the Ganges River and never saw

bad India is cuz of your secret jealousy inside. The fact that you posted this

CENTRAL government is useless in a country like india
No individual or organization can fix this kind of issue – only the government

fix it – miracle could only happen through you
to my pakistan brothers here- i know you guys have a big issue w ith your
indian friends – please be compassinate
and do the same – w ork to improve your country and your peoeple also a big

I lived in india for 20 years and have never seen these ugly pictures w hatsoever,
some places in india must be dirty or w hatever but not all, these pictures are
taken in the villages, suburb or small tow ns in india, the real india isnt like this, n
yeah China is not less, ive been to china n taiw an, its not so clean also, i dont giv
a shit if im a chinese but yeah its true china n taiw an isnt so clean, w ashrooms in
china n taiw an r dirty, n in taiw an theres no toilet paper or w ater even to w ash
ure stinky butts, atleast in india there are w ater to keep ure butts clean.
and yeah indians dont eat humans like you chinese people do.
atleast indians dont make duplicate things like china does.
w hoever took these picture i guess that person dint visit big cities in india and big
hospitals and other sorts of things.
w ell i guess this person took only these pictures to show how dirty india is. u
should take pictures of your villages in china, n post it on this blog .

1) the chinese don’t eat humans either. 2) I have been to India, and I have
seen very poor slums right in the middle of Mumbai. There’s one right next to
the international airport, so it w as the first thing I saw coming to India. There
is dirt and poverty everyw here in India, even in the main cities, and public
hospitals are terrible everyw here.

Muslims consider unclean corpses and Ann are buried in the soil. Also, if one’s

The Muslims consider unclean shit and the piss and it completely clean by w ater

You know w here this doesn’t occur? America. Now there’s a lot w rong w ith my
country, but damn…the basic level of sanitation here is w orse than that of Iraq. In
that country garbage is pretty bad too and people do poop in the streets (w ith
open sew age coursing through many roads), but at least they bury their dead
and the hot semi-arid landscape dries the poop w hereupon is blow s aw ay as
dust.
I’d sooner brush my teeth in the L.A. river, or the Delaw are just south of New ark,
NJ than I w ould anyw here in India. It’s absolutely disgusting the amount of filth
flow ing in that river. I know poverty is a barrier to many of the finer things in life
but basic sanitation can make life stable enough to develop an economy. Stop
having 6-8 children per w oman w hile you’re at it. There’d be more food to go
around and the farmers w ould be able to keep up w ith technological grow th.

the disease and bacteria that comes w ith the poop. traditionally you use your left

all the crap and use tp to dry.

RELIGIOUS PROBLEM.
The people you see there are POOR, UNEDUCATED, and raised w ith beliefs of
FAIRY TALES like the holiness of the river in question.
Cremated people are scattered there because its HOLY, they w ash there because
its HOLY. They drink the w ater because they think its MAGIC (oooo… GOD!) The
corpses you see are insufficiently burned cremations.. the super poor can’t spend
the resources / energy enough fuel to to a proper burning..
Go into any city in india and ask even the low est chai w allah if he w ants to drink a
cup of w ater out of the Ganges and they w ould look at you like you’re insane.
There are equivalently stupid RELIGIOUS people all over the w orld (mostly not
their fault – they w ere raised that w ay from childhood). EXAMPLE – In the UNITED
STATES you hear of Christian people refusing to give their children medical care
because they believe it goes against GOD and that GOD should heal the children.
These pictures are akin to the article that came out recently show ing kittens in
cages boiled alive for food in China.. this is obviously only a practice in a single
province w hich a few people practice but the article is set in such a fashion to
imply that Chinese everyw here enjoy killing cats in a painful fashion before eating
them.
Same thing w ith this article, a very one-sided view show casing only some of the
most unfortunate poor people in the country.

I’ve heard about the river burial tradition from co-w orkers, but seeing so many
photos made the feeling completely different.
Just like I’ve seen the Chinese rural poor on TV and heard all the stories. But
w hen I w ent back to my mom’s home tow n, and saw the farmer population in
stark contrast to the tow n’s richer residents, w hat I felt w as completely different
too.
(W hen my mom w ent back by herself recently, she said all the farmlands around
the tow n are gone, replaced w ith w estern style houses for those w ith $$. The
mountains w ere mostly green and the farms w ere beautiful. W hat I remembered
the most w ere fields of cultivated lotus flow ers. All gone now . No idea w here the
farmers w ent, w hether they w ere properly compensated, or how they are making
a living now .)
I had many Indian and Pakistani co-w orkers, and despite the cultural, religious,
and heck political differences, I can also find many similarities in our strengths and
faults, view s and habits. In the end the differences in no w ay prevented us from
w orking and playing w ell together. (And also bitch about the
Chinese/Indian/Pakistani governments and the amount of crap that goes on.)
Had the original photographer had the same experience, w orking together in a
friendly environment on a person to person basis, he may be far more
sympathetic than condescending.
Now if only our countries can do the same…
Oh w ho am I kidding.

Don’t try to brand it under ‘culture/tradition’ and get aw ay w ith it. I am from Nepal
and w e are also Hindus. The only w ay to ‘dispose’ a body in a true hindu manner
as follow ed in Nepal is to properly cremate the body w ith w ood and scatter the
ashes into the river, after ensuring that the entire body has burnt and turned to
ash. W ith w hat careless abandon the bodies are floating as show n in the pictures
reveals nothing but carelessness.

From a nature-based spirituality to a full-fledged religion of bigotry that led to

to my idian brothers and sisters again from passing chinese
first, my sincere apology that some of my inconsiderate brother

in china posted such a post and picture in china (not at chinasmack –
not for english w orld – again i w ant to emphasize)
i sure think it’s much better if he could post some positive things about
India – a great and noble country in many people ‘s mind – how ever
w ith that said, i am not saying there
no bad things in china – come on w e have 1.3 billion people and there
are alot very very very very very very bad things in china and it’s true –
you can find all kinds of nasty images about my country all over the
place – i am sure you can find them if you w ant.
w ith that said – all those strongly disturbing images of china/india is

just part of the fact – not the w hole picture, agreed?
I know my people ‘s w eakness and i don’t w ant to hide it also i have no

interest to broadcast it – there are people w ho are doing this and i
think in a w ay it’s not a bad thing, it help us realize that how hard w e
should w ork to improve, to catch up
you said chinese could be hanged in china w ithout know ing w hat
happened, it’s true – but it’s a very small number, maybe
0.000000001% – and that could happen in any country – any w here –
w ithout or w ith the government’s endorsment – and this has nothing to
do w ith democracy, brother i know you may disagree – but let’s agree
to disagree – it w ill take too much time to explain and argue – let’s
respect each other’s opion and move forw ard – let’s reach over and
shake hand say ni hao
there’s all kind of problems in china – it’s very true , and w e too are
ashamed of it and w e are w orking hard to get rid of them
it could never be done – but it w ill definitly improve – enough to make
china a proud member once again
w e believe w e are far from there yet – how ever w e are sure w e are
already seeing the hope and the daw n is comming
w e are 100% sure that after 30 years most chinese w ill become quite
affluent because w e are w orking on it and w e see our progress every
SINGLE day
W hen it come to hard w ork – w e chinese can really boast about it –

w ith pride or shame, w ith humility and w ith
determination, w e are hard w orking and w e w ill get it done
w e know w e are far far far far from being respected and far far far far
from being perfect – but w e are 100000% sure w e w ill
be there and it getting closer every SINGLE day
w e are progressing – w e are w orking – w e are shamed into being

humble- w e are shamed into being hard w orking
w e are cultured to be humble – w e are cultured to be hard w orking and
w e are proud to w ork hard to see our result – yes brother that’s us
and brother you know – w e may be poor – w e may be scorned upon,

w e may be laughed at and w e know it – and w e are determined to
change it
but w e are a pretty big country and w ith one of the strongest defense
in the w orld – w e don’t w ant to bully others – just to ensure that NONE
dare to bully us – and no one DARE
Some of us may talk big – but from my experience w e are not talking big
people – w e don’t play “freedom” “democracy” games as those are
some luxury for affluent people – many chinese think those are games
played by w estern pow ers to reboot the game and play their w ay, sorry
please stay the fuck off, w e have seen too much hypocricy from the
w est and w e w ill NEVER trust them and they w ill NEVER succeed
after all – china is too far behind developed country, just like india ( no
offense here – you can disagree) both are huge and very populous
country – both need STRONG and EFFICIENT government to w ork – w e
are not usa, w e are not britain, w e are not japan
usa is much more developed than us, they started industrialization 200
years before us, 200 years!
their people at that time are w ay up in the competitive ladder than us in
Asia – w e w ere FAR behind then – not of the same class at all – they
have far more resource, both materially and intellectually than us – their
system w orks pretty ok for them
china is very different, w ill not copy theirs
ok, my indian brothers and sisters – w ork hard for your kid,
for your country, for your people – in doing that w e together w ill make
the w orld a better place
w e w ill do the same in china
yours

i am Indian, w hat is show n is true w e lack a lot of things w hich

might be given for most other countries, but nothing that is show n
or portrayed is show n as lie either.
Both sides are true they are like tw o faces of a same coin. its this
diversity that makes both China and India so vibrant and yet
strange.
We have our problems but w e are fighting and coming out. We

have corruption and dishonesty but its out of poverty w hich is
there. Our priorties also at times look jumbled up as w hy spend
money of games rather than upliftment of people. How ever its an
aspiring bunch of people w ho w ant to do more than just alw ays
survive more to live a life.
Given a chance I w ould still w ant to be born only in India or if not

India then China.
My respect for w hat you w rote, How I w ish something could be

done for our mid-history. I said mis-history coz I feel its strangely
post 1950 that Indian and China became like Step-brothers w ho
dont see each other in eye alw ays. How ever before that era of
travellers, era of trades or even era of Buddha w hich united us
strangely is forgotten.
Hope w e see very soon a same morning w ith same emotion.
And peace to w hole w orld. Yes Indians are strange. But thats
makes us w hat w e are. We are strangely more w armer than any
one else you can meet, w e can be strangely more friendlier and
hospitable than any place, our food can be strangely spicer than
most food, and same time w e have strange politicians, strange
countrymen w ho feel politics is such mess that w e dont w ant to
enter that system.
Am sad to hear many travellers and people from other countries

w ho are carrying such bad emotions about their India visit. I just
hope some day w e could change your nightmares to beautiful
dreams.
To all Pakistan friends, strangely outside India w e stick together

and can be best of buddies and in our respective countries w e
hate each other. Way I and my friends see w e hate your politicians
and ours. We all feels its they w ho divide us. Its not you or me
w ho do that.

I dont subscribe to these practices of throw ing bodies in the ganges,to me it feels
like an insult to the human death.
I just w anted to make a point to all those w ho feel using w ater to clean their
anus is yucky.Cleaning something w ith w ater especially human w aste is far more
effective and sanitary then merely w iping it w ith a piece of tissue.Lets say you get
your hands dirty w hile playing outside, so how do you clean it then ? Do you just
go for a tissue box and try to w ipe all the dust,grit aw ay or do you go to the w ash
and clean it w ith w ater and soap ? You use the w ater+soap w ay.
Same thing w e do in the loo. We use w ater to clean off any shit sticking to the
anus and then w e “w ash our freaking hands w ith soap”.We dont just move
around w ith filthy hands.
And to all those w ho feel “Ew its human shit.How can someone touch it by
hand.Yuck.” You all are hypocrites w ho think this w ay.You conveniently forgot the
fact that – you all carry that shit in your colon,rectum,intestine basically in your
body.But once its outside the body you feel yuck about it.Hypocrisy of the highest
order.Just because you cannot see the shit moving around in your body it doesnt
mean its not there.But you guys have no problems w ith that.You guys have a
problem w hen it leaves the body and that your ow n personal shit.

India is a amazing place yes it still has a lot of w ork to do in regards of hygiene in
rural areas but just think of extremely greedy officials taking food, money, clothes
intended for poor people and using it for their benefits that the poor have no
choice it is either do or die and judging by the pictures they do w hat they can.
I have been to many times India and it is such a deeply beautiful country but evil
influences are ruining it and taking aw ay its natural essence. These pictures are
manipulated to a degree this area is sacred, rituals, customs, life and death are
celebrated w hich has taken place for centuries these people don’t know how the
other half live most of them still ow n a black and w hite tv.
So next time you buy a Starbucks coffee just think that the money you spend is
going to a company w hich is driving out traditional businesses in poorer countries
to simply become richer.
There are reasons to w hy poor countries live in such impoverished circumstances
and lets not forget the UK’s as w ell as many others role in robbing India of it’s

Please just view the images and appreciate them for w hat they are and w hat you

Ganges shores are horrible and beyond the Western imagination but I had

Dear brothers and sisters – I am an indian, but my intention is not to defend the
honour of India, nation is a social structure created by humans to improve the
scope of survival, just like another successful social structure created for same
reason called “family”, to take sides in the name of nation, religion or race is
similar to taking sides in the name of favorite football clubs, hence i dont feel the
need to take sides, having said that, i am w riting this comment only because, i
know the people in these pictures because i am one of them. my hope is to
provide a better understanding about the above pictures- First, cleanliness-
survival takes priority over cleanliness, cleanliness w ill naturally improve w hen
standard of living (in terms of w ealth) increases. that is w hy most places in india
w hich has more than a billion people is dirty, if anyone says ‘china is better in
cleanliness’ then w e are happy for china and india w ill also get there in its ow n
w ay, in its ow n pace. but as of now in india, most people dont have the luxury to
w orry about foriegners w ith cameras. second, religion- its difficult to understand
the so called hindu religious faith, because hinduism is not a religion at all, just
like, many different people w ho speak different languages, w ho follow ed different
culture and customs grouped together by circumstance to form modern India.
Many different customs and cultures w ith different gods grouped together by
circumstance to form hinduism. But it is the most potent and exotic mix you can
ever come across. Let me guess, w hen you see these pictures you may see
death, disease and disgust, right. But let me w rite about something you dont see.
I have taken part these kind of festivals. this is my experience, me, my father, my
mother and my tw o sisters w ill travel 5 hours in a crow ded bus to the tow n that
hosts this festival, w e stay in a hotel the previous day, then the next morning w e
w ill go to the temple and w e w ill w ait to see the statue of god that w ill be taken
as a procession, w e have to go early to get a good spot or else w e w ill not be
able to see the god’s statue, w e w ill be standing for 6 to 7 hours in sw eltering
heat among a crow d of 50,000 people, after getting the glimpse of the statue, w e
w ill take a dip in the holy river because by doing that w e believe w e are relieved
from all our past mistakes and w hen w e come home, w e w ill feel very relieved and
all of us w ill return w ith the hope tomorrow w ill be better. You call it superstition,
you call indians as barbarians, you call indians dirty, But the people in this picture
dont care about w hat you think. they are w alking home w ith love and hope w hich
cannot be disturbed by filth around them. one other thing, regarding people
taking bath in a river w here dead bodies w ere throw n, i dont w ant to go into
details, i w ill just say, there are few things that w e can understand only w hen w e
experience it.

beautiful as this may sound, only w orks in a somew hat abstract context.
Human burials should be dignified and discreet. There is nothing poetic about
a vulture gnaw ing at some poor w oman’s abdomen.
This should be the government’s #1 priority-cleaning up the Ganges. Not
building nukes or competing w ith China, or attracting foreign investment.
Allow me to say that building homes made out of dung is fine-so long as it is

But the superior tone of this post and some of the Chinese commenters comes as

Indians for example are thoroughly disgusted by the ‘omnivourous’ nature of
Chinese cuisine. It’s not just disgusting…it’s positively dangerous to public health.
Little w onder then that the black plague that devastated Europe a few centuries

Tibetans set fire to their dead relatives, chop them up and feed them to vultures.
Then leave their bones scattered all over the place.
That’s pretty gross, too.

Dear Jack,
To you from your point of view as you’re a child from your ow n (Western?)
culture it might be pretty gross, but if you look a bit further you might see it’s
actually a very sane thing to do.
The Tibetans make sure there are no remains at all from the corpses, isn’t
that great?
(Especially compaired to w hat’s happening in India w ith the dead. ;-)
Or w ould you rather see them digg a hole in the ground to bury their

it is nothing uncommon for both China and Indian to have bright and black sides,

to go home and w ork hard to improve their countries. Those w ho curse India here

Hi, I’m from singapore.

Firstly, i’m impressed w ith how the indians are able to view death as part of their
life. They can accept the truth w ell. How ever, able to accept death is not the
excuse to leave dead corpses around. It poses serious health and hygiene
problems.
At the same time, a country’s success or failure is very much dependent on the
leader (government). An able government can construct a heaven out of that
country, w hile a corrupted government w ithout foresight w ill lead the country to
hell.
Both India and China are great civilizations w ith very rich cultures and histories.
I’m very impressed w ith the economic success that w as brought about over the
last few decades.
The next step w ill be political and social reforms. Only through such reforms can
the people benefit from the country’s success. I’m sure many of us here posting
comments are educated, therefore w e are literate and can analyze the situation
w ith such a w ide perspective. Likew ise, if everybody in India and China are
educated, w ith the proper moral values, attitudes and character molding, the
undesired habits w ill naturally be kicked.
But all these takes time. So instead of criticizing, or feel disgusted, w e should
accept the fact that it’s only a matter of time before things can change for the
better. Our forefathers w ho lived in the feudal age have gone through the same
situation! If not for them, w e w ill never be able to live such a comfortable life now .

10000% agree and a few w ords to posters here
India is a huge country and many of her people are still poor
just like china – both countries are having the same type problems and both
are w orking on it
Some of those issues is related to poverty for sure – if they really have the
money, they may do a better burial – ACTUALLY until w e w ere indian w e don’t
actually know the reason w hy the corpse is in the river – that is a HUGE
country w ith huge population and all kinds thing is happenning on a daily
basis – MOST people in india is not doing that and MOST of them w ill feel
disturbed looking at such image
They are every bit as human as us and they should be fully respected just
like your brother.
stop making fun of them until you w ere sure that you have as perfect as a
God – if you w ere in the same situation then you may look w orse!
Please don’t generalize and don’t use racist w ords

One thing I don’t like about w estern media is their never ending appetite in
making fun of others, being arrogant, they may w rite very professional in

learn the lesson and never copy them
Chinese and Indian are 2 of the oldest civilazation in the w orld

both shared similar type of history in the last 100 years
All chinese and indian should w ork together to build friendship
there w ill be misunderstandings for sure but as long w e w ork on it w e w ill

It take a sincere heart and hard w ork to achieve all this

I am an Indian for last thirty years and i am thirty years old, before that in my past
lives, i may have been a Chinese or an American or a monkey or a dog, so i love
everyone and every species, i feel like all of them are my relatives. I am w riting
this comment only to provide a different point of view .
I appreciate all your concerns, Most of the view s posted here are similar to an
incident i heard about, In India, a very kind hearted Christian nun w ho knew a
boy since he w as a little kid, cried for long time, w hen he told her that he is a gay
and said she felt very sorry for him and told him not to w orry. Saying, you are like
my son and i w ill pray for you all my life. And that boy did not get offended
because he knew that the good hearted nun felt bad only because she did not
understand that being a gay is not a disease.
Varanasi is not a shame to India, it is India. I w ill try to explain my point of view .
Culture – India is not for w eak hearted and narrow minded, I am not saying
everything in India is good, that w ill be silly and immature, instead India is a land
of extreme, w here you can see birth and death in a same place, temples w ith
satues depicting erotic postures, and i can go on and on. India is a place w hich
w ill break your preconceived notions about w hat is right and w hat is w rong, it w ill
push you so hard that after sometime you w ill stop sizing everything up as right
and w rong and w ill see only the things you w ant to see. Maybe that is w hat they
call as ‘nirvana’ or liberation of leaving all your baggages behind. Varanasi is that
kind of place, w hich w ill shock you to the extreme that it w ill make you stop
w orrying about your gucci bags, your seven digit salary, your online reputation
and the size of your body parts. This place is so extreme that w hen you go there,
you w ill start to think about w hat is the meaning of life and w hat is beyond life.
The risk in Judging others – I am not at all offended by people’s negative

comments because i know that understanding something that is alien to us is
difficult, for example, in England, some people started sending hate messages to
a British lady w ho converted to islam and started w earing a muslim headscarf.
Men and w omen said to her that you are demeaning yourself by doing this, but
that lady said, earlier i lived for others, by spending so much time on trying to look
attractive for the sake of others and my happiness w as hinged on others
perspective, but only now i have started to live for myself. This is the risk
associated in judging others, there is a very good possibility that our judgement
w ill be w rong about somethng until w e experience it ourself.
Indian government interference – Some people have w ritten that Indian

government should ban these practices in Varanasi, In most instances w ell
meaning government interferences w ith their superior sense of right and w rong
does end up being detrimental to the fabric of culture. for example, many
centuries before, w hen foreigners started to rule India (just for the record, at that
time India did not exist, different parts of the land beyond the ancient river sind
w ere ruled by different kings) the foreigners w ere disgusted by explicit erotic
statues in the temples, so they banned everything explicit and encouraged
prudishness and made people to believe that some natural feelings are sins, that
should hidden and locked w ithin the darkest corners of our psyche. Hence i am
against government interference in anything if indian people w ish to do something
in their ow n w ay.
One other thing, w hen looking at these pictures, people get confused betw een
poverty and religious practices. Not all the people w ho go to varanasi are poor
people, even the richest of the rich goes to this place and takes part in these
practices.
I am not saying everything that goes on in varanasi is right, i just believe, trying
to define everything as right and w rong is not only futile but also dangerous. I
have read about an ancient jain guru w ho can see 27 truths about a thing
(Jainism is a religion practiced in India, it is a contemporary to Buddhism). I w ill try
to explain the meaning of 27 truths through an example, once a pot maker saw a
clay pot in the street and said its made of clay, at the same time a scientist w ho
tested the material said it is made of many minerals and predominatly of
phyllosilicate minerals (w hich is true from the scientist’s point of view ). After
hearing that, the pot maker got angry and said my family is making clay pot for
many generations and i know for sure that it is a clay pot and said, the scientist is
not only stupid but he is also misguiding other people. In reply the scientist said
according to science this pot is made of combination of phyllosicilate minerals and
said, pot maker is a illiterate fool. And both started to fight w ith each other. Both
the pot maker and scientist knew they are telling the truth, but w hat they did not
understand is, that other person is also telling the truth. that is because lot of us
believe there is only one truth but in fact there are 27 truths about any given
thing. Just because if someone is saying something different from w hat i am
saying does not mean i am w rong or they are w rong. There is a good possibility
that both of us maybe right. In conclusion, i agree w ith all of you and if anyone
thinks that i am stupid, you are absolutely right.

Hinduism is a w ord coined by foreigners to describe all the religions and beliefs
follow ed by people across the ancient river Sindh/Indus. Hinduism does not have
one creator nor any particular rule that one has to adhere (most practicing hindus
choose the rules w hich suits their lifestyle) and you can find a w hole range from,
alcohol drinking meat eating gods such as Ayyanar of south india w hose follow ers
drink alcohol and eat meat. To the pure vegetarian gods w hose follow ers w ill not
even eat egg or even cake because its made of egg. Hinduism is like a food menu
you get in a multinational/multicultural restaurant, you can pick and choose the
kind of god w ho suits your personality.
Indians are not that much different than anyone else, w ith the need for good
things in life and clean environment. 99% of Hindus cremate their dead, in some
circumstances dead w ill be buried. But varanasi is a special case.
India is a big country, different places offer different things, people to go to kerala
for different reason, people go to Goa for different reason, similarly people go to
varanasi for different reason.
In Varanasi, ministering to the dead is a w ay of life. Situated on the banks of the

holy Ganges River, the ancient city is not only a place of pilgrimage but an
auspicious place to die. The elderly and the sick arrive from across India to pass
their final days praying at the river, in ashrams or on the street, know ing that
dying on the banks of the Ganges w ill speed them through the cycle of rebirths to
moksha, or liberation of the soul. Those w ho don’t die in Varanasi desire to be
cremated there, or have their ashes scattered in the river.
And not only elderly and sick, many successful and rich indian people in the prime
of their life, leave all their belongings and come to varanasi to live in its streets, in
a quest for something w hich cannot described, but felt by everyone.
Regarding “that dead body floating in the river w as someone’s relative once”
thats the w hole point. they dont identify that person w ith their dead body, the
people w ho did this does not w ant to hold on to the things that can be devoured
by time, because it doesnt matter how tightly you hold it, you have to let it go one
time or another. The know ledge of impermanence elevates human beings above
pride, anger, greed and vengence.
Different things are gross and vile to different people according to the broadness
of their view , for some people eating non vegetarian foods are gross, for some
non vegetarian connoisseur’s themselves eating a frog is gross and so on. there
is a belief in India w hen w e grow as a person there comes a stage that joy and
sorrow w ill not affect us, a stage above desire and disgust, the ability to take
both the good and bad w ith equanimity like mother earth.
Once i heard a story i think its about Buddha, once Buddha asked his disciples,
how w ill you save a w ater drop for eternity? and the answ er is ‘by letting it
become a part of the ocean’ For my brothers and sisters w ho takes sides in the
name of religion, race or nation. these identities are like the w ater drop in the
above anectode, no matter how hard you hold on to it, time w ill take it aw ay from
you, instead try to become a part of everyone and everything.

Have some Common Sense (aka Gross...)

Here’s an example: a cult christian sect believes that God w ill cure all
sickness and disease and human based medical treatment is forbidden
among its believers. A man and a w oman belonging to this sect has a child

My friend, i totally understand your concern, i too have read Richard

daw kins ‘the god delusion’, i w as aw are of the case mentioned by you
and i am aw are of albino children being kidnapped and sacrificed in
Tanzania by w itch doctors and i am aw are many similar instances all
around the w orld and especially in India, too many to count, it all
happens in the name of religion, in the name of patriotism, in the name
of survival (w hich includes survival of the planet, survival of animals and
survival of humans).
Being an Indian, i have seen the w orst side of fanaticism first hand. And
I have also seen saints turning into rapists and rapists turning into
saints, i have seen w aste becoming useful and useful becoming w aste,
I have heard about how millions and millions of years ago 99% of life
became extinct because of a plant w hich let out a toxic gas called
oxygen and after that mass extinction, how new form of life began and
survived because of the same toxic gas. I have seen humans hurting
another humans in order to stop ‘inhumane’ treatment against animals.
My friend, i have also heard about a man w ho held the Discovery

Channel hostage w ith a bomb. and i believe his main concerns (are
about overpopulation, religion and civilization and he w anted discovery
channel to avoid encouraging people to produce more ‘human babies’,
and to get people to accept ‘Malthus-Darw in science,’ reject civilization
and its ‘disgusting religious-cultural roots,’ and to stop ‘ALL immigration
pollution’.) (i got this info from
http://new s.slashdot.org/story/10/09/01/2124218/Armed-Man-Takes-
Hostages-At-Discovery-Channel-HQ).
Brother, may be everything is w rong in this w orld and there are so many
reasons to get angry. Or maybe, just maybe, if w e just stop taking
ourselves so seriously and try to understand more, before judging
others. We may understand that things are not that bad at all.
everything w ill change w hether w e like it or not, day w ill become night,
night w ill become day, good w ill become bad and bad w ill become good.
I apologise sincerely, if i have w ritten anything that might have offended
you, my aim is not to defend any country or religion or practice. I just
w anted to offer a different point of you. Thank you

There are so many untruths and lies in the posts here I cannot believe it. I have
taveled China extensively and I have never seen any dead bodies or people
sw imming in filth like India. Maybe you have, but I have not and I have been from
Baotou to Shenzen and every city in betw een. No dead bodies and plenty of food.
The real kicker is that in America, African Americans are forced to live in the rural
areas. Too funny for w ords. Most African Americans prefer the cities and no one
forces anyone to live w here they do not w ant to live. If you are destitute (have
absolutely nothing) you can even choose the city or place you w ant to stay. There
are hundreds of shelters for destitute people in the cities of the US but most poor
w ho have nothing receive government aid of some kind, subsidized housing, and
tons of help including free lunches and breakfast for their children as w ell as free
medical clinics (now free medical).
I really take offense to the ludicrous post that in America you have to raise your
hands w hen you approach a police officer. Maybe if you craw l out of a ditch at 2
am, but I assure you that you can w alk up to any police officer in the US an not
only receive aid or help, but that you w ill never be questioned or threatened in
any w ay. Now if you are on drugs or have some unusual item w ith you, like a radio
from a Mercedes w ith w ires sticking out, or a bag full of cartons of cigarets, or
something suspicious, that may be a different story. But if you w alk up to any

Ganges is a scared river in Hindu religion. Hindu’s don’t bury their dead, they
cremate them at the shores of Ganges and ashes are returned to earth. There
are still many poor people in India just like in China w ho cannot afford to get
licensing, authority approval fees for cremation, fees for death certificates etc. to
cremate their dead so they simply throw the bodies in the river thinking that its
the holy thing to do if they don’t have money. Cremation is more expensive then
digging a hole in your back yard or open filed to dope in the dead w hich is
essentially free how ever that is not the Hindu religion.
Also toilet paper never completely cleans your butt…there is alw ays some poop
left w hich then drys and causes all kinds of health problem. Yes Indian’s do w ash
their butts w ith left hand but then of course they w ash their hands (depending on
personal preference). And using a toilet paper or not a hand is still equally dirty
after cleaning your butt and must be w ashed in either case.

Just to make it clear, I live in India.

About China, I know they have been grow ing very rapidly for so many years and
that they already w ield major pow er at the global stage. I am sure their sanitary
conditions are much better.
I don’t care about people w ho cry about dogs and cow s and other “w ild” animals
in the streets or the relative merits of different toilet habits.
Hey man, you clean your butt the w ay you like and let me clean mine the w ay I
like; and its real fun to drive around cow s on the street, for me at least. I have
seen people from other countries eating goat’s testicles and eating fish semen
but I don’t care.
On the other hand, these pictures have come as a revelation, I never knew such
practices existed. Honestly, I am disgusted and feel ashamed for India.
I don’t think even other Indians could deny having been shocked by these
pictures.
Waste disposal is a real problem in Indian cities, w herever I have lived I have
seen mounds of trash just lying on the outskirts of the tow n, to be taken care of
by God.
Indian villages on the other hand are surprisingly cleaner, they are generally small
farming settlements w ith about 200 inhabitants and their activities and lifestyles
produce negligible w aste .
I think one of the reasons for our sorry state in cleanliness may be our lack of civil
sense, people keep their houses spotless but dump their garbage in the street,
migration of poor from villages to tow ns has just exacerbated this situation. They
don’t care about the tow n, it is not their home. Actually they are too busy earning
a living to care much.
Then, rarely, but I am sure at least in this particular case, the reason is religion,
blind belief. I don’t think this phenomenon can be explained solely by poverty.
I think the religion of people should be common sense. Can’t you see you are
suffocating the river, you are killing it man, and w hat about the poor guy w ho lives
dow nstream? He has a gift of a stinking corpse ridden river from you. Thank you.
Then again sitting miles aw ay, it is easy to point out the faults but it’s really not so
easy to see w hen these customs envelop you.
Most rivers are considered sacred by Indians, I w ent to one such river w ith my
grandfather and a brother, the river, though there w ere no corpses around, had
the discharge of some factory flow ing into it, it w as nasty.
Now my grandfather is really religious and w anted a dip in the holy w aters, my
brother on the other hand w ould not even dream of it. Nevertheless, my
grandfather took a bath and seeing him doing it alone, I felt bad and I did it too.
So, you see.

Bharat, It is encouraging to see Indian citizens w ith your view s. I w hole
heartedly agree w ith your points.
I also w ant to reply to the other view points:
1)Non-Indians w ho think there is nothing w rong w ith the practices @ V.

You ppl w ho think there is nothing w rong w ith things @ V are w rong. You can
respect other ppl’s culture or w ay of life as long as those culture and w ay of
life deserves respect. Slavery w as a w ay of life for the US Southern states.
Nazism w as part of a culture for the Germans in W W II. Apartheid w as a w ay
of life for South Africans. Killing female babies w as a culture in rural China.
None of these deserve the slightest respect. We as the citizens of the World
should condemn them and w ork to eliminate them in our ow n w ays.
2)Non-Indians w ho think the practices @ V should be discontinued.

You ppl are correct. You are brave in speaking your minds w ith out the fear of
being labelled non-P.C. or racist. You are not a racist if you just focus on the
problem not the ppl of Indian.
3)Indians w ho think there is nothing w rong w ith the practices @ V.

You ppl. are w rong. There is something terrible going @ V. If you don’t see it
that w ay then you are either ignorant or choose to be blind. It is mostly your
faults that this continued until today. Don’t hide behind culture and traditions
excuses. The year is 2010 and the w orld is progressing. This should not
happen in 2010. Are you saying if Bill Gates w ent in to clean up the river w ith
his ow n money and the Indian Government stopped the practices and gave
them sanitary solutions then the residents w ill be angry at Bill and the Govmt
for eliminating their traditions? I refuse to believe this. Nobody w ould believe
this.
4)Indians w ho think the practices @ V should be discontinued.

You are absolutely correct. You should condemn the practice and tell your
government that this is not acceptable. Your fellow citizens deserve better.
W hat is the function of the government? It is to protect its citizens and to
help them live a full and healthy life. Change can only happen w hen outside
and internal forces align tow ard a common goal: The Betterment of Human
Life for the World.
5)To all others w ho participate in shouting matches betw een China vs India
or W hite vs Yellow vs Brow n etc. Just remember: We are all Ethiopians from
Africa. We are one Race – The Human Race. How w e live speaks volumes for
all of us. Just because Jim is late for school and doesn’t do his homew ork
does not give Jack the right to behave badly himself. Let’s focus on the

If you do feel disgusted and ashamed about India, there is tw o things you

the river). Being an apologist in a racist Chinese forum is not one of them.
Just to clear your ignorance, Waste disposal is a major problem for all people
irrespective of w here they are. The more rich you get, the more w aste you

No matter if the foreigners know or not, w e have to go a long w ay in

struggled much more in successfully disposing w aste.
I am sort of in love w ith my country, I have tried to understand

everything that has happened and shaped our country since Harappa,
trying to find out w hat it means w hen w e call ourselves Indian. You can
be sure I’m not going to leave it.
That leaves us w ith finding out w ays to clean the river.

W hy do you think people w on’t stop doing this? W hy don’t the municipal
and state systems interfere? W hat about the cities dow nstream, can’t
their leaders stage a protest? W hat should w e do?
I think there are a few initiatives to clean the river up but don’t you
think the problem should be nipped in the bud? W hat do you think and
w hat should w e do?
Also let us not dismiss Richard’s suggestions, they might be useful.

Everybody is invited to contribute.

blue ocean and w alk in green fresh forest and feel the touch of
mother nature. in india there are some ashrams and organisations
w ho try to clean citys (in kerala big cleaning program is going on)
…but if people doesn’t change their happits, w ay of thinking and

aw arness about the subjet shoud change and some w aste

Indian society is the last standing apartheid society w ith the concept of casts and
untouchables, its even a part of their pagan religion. Its a fact that their society
and culture havent been able to produce a w orld know n single scientist or
philsoph.
The w orlds highest ratio of HIV and w orlds largest ratio of people living under the
povertyline. Their fragile federation is getting looser day by day. 240 districts (40
percent) of india is controlled by the seperatist maoists and naxalites. sikhs
demands free punjab (khalistan), Kashmiris are fighting to end indian occupation.
They have no future, but they are dreaming of becoming a super pow er lol. Small
minded people. They have inferiority complex.

dirty and one w ants to go fast back to either south or to the mounttains. and
even in south there is no prober w aste system. it’s not that comparing thing.

Your comments made me understand this issue in a different light. I agree that,
this place and its rituals need some changes to improve sanitation and to provide
better facilities for residents and visitors alike.
‘Moksham’ or ‘Nirvana’ or ‘Liberation of soul’ cannot be achieved by blindly

follow ing rituals but only through w isdom.
W isdom is achieved through contemplation. Contemplation is achieved through

humility. The one w ho is humble enough to admit their ow n lack of know ledge or
understanding is the one on the path to w isdom. Arrogance leads to denial w hich
is an obstacle to human development.

After spending tw o years in India, I can support the fact that this is indicative of
w hat the country is like. It’s not just areas of the Ganges, but an overview of the
entire country. I’ve traveled the w orld more so than most people and India is by

How do you say that w hen India is grow ing at 8 – 10% a year? Is that even

there are no ‘regular’ labour hours . They may be ‘lazy’ about changing their
cultural practices, if that’s the right w ord. But I think it’s more about being
‘stuck’, than anything else.
The staring is definitely true. But in that part of the w orld, it is not considered
‘offensive’. Privacy is typically something that is physical, not emotive or
psychological.

You seemed to be offended, hurt and have sw orn to defend something that (that

“W hy do you w orry w ithout cause? W hom do you fear w ithout reason? W hat did
you lose that you cry about?
W hat did you bring w ith you, w hich you think you have lost? W hat did you
produce, w hich you think got destroyed?
You did not bring anything w ith you w hen you are born – w hatever you have, you
received from here. W hatever you have given, you have given only here.
You came empty handed, you w ill leave empty handed.
W hat is yours today, belonged to someone else yesterday, and w ill belong to
someone else the day after tomorrow . You are mistakenly enjoying the thought
that this is yours. It is this false happiness that is the cause of your sorrow s.
W hatever happened, happened for the good; w hatever is happening, is

happening for the good; w hatever w ill happen, w ill also happen for the good only
Change is the law of the universe. Yours and mine, big and small, high and low –
erase these ideas from your mind. Then everything is yours and you belong to
everyone.”

These pictures are from Varanasi the holiest city of the Brahmins. And that
highlights the reason w hy India is such a shockingly inhumane place:
BRAHMINISM. The brahmins w ith their irrational superstitions, their casteism and

contempt for their fellow indians, their arrogance and deceitfulness, their
corruption and lies, their stupidity and incompetence, are responsible for the

It’s true that the U.S. Government engaged in a few w ars w ith them. The natives

2) Nobody in the USA can be forced to move or stay anyw here unless they have

Asians and most w hite people live at the city edges (suburbs), and the

Here’s an example:
If your father has repeated his entire life that the dead should be let into the
ganga for achieving purity, you w ill dare not bury him in your farm, but w ill make
all efforts to see that he is disposed off in the ganga.
W hen you w ill see how filthy it is to dispose off a body in ganga, THEN you w ill tell

Im a Sikh in the UK but familys from the Punjab; a state in northern india and i

toilets like that in a long time and they usually do have toilet paper so this is
pretty much a pr&t chinese show ing bias. These pictures have been taken all
w ithin one small area, a heavly populated area i imagine, w hereas the river
streches for 1500miles.
I dont believe in any of the religious stuff that goes w ith this
river but it is a source of life for many.
China a rapidly expanding economy w ith mass industrilisation the only difference
is that w hereas a chinese person can come into india and take all the pictures
they w ant and voice their opinions the same can not be done vice versa because
the chinese prefer to show the good stuff and hide the bad.
Im sure w e w ould see alot more of the “real” china if they w ere not such cow ards
against their corrupt goverment and in life in general.
The one thing China got right is the population control, 1 child to each couple.
Problem most of India faces is that children are needed so they can look after
their parents w hen they are elderly, w hereas in China that one child is quick to
escape and abandon the parents that raised them.
India of course seems very backw ards to an outside perspective but to base
view s on such a large country on one persons pictures show s how pathetic
people really are and puts yet another bad mark against chinese peoples
attitudes. Next time one of you Chinks ask me for directions in London ill be sure

The amount of cultural relativism in these comments is as revolting as the ganges

river and the Indian people’s total obliviousness to it. There is absolutely no w ay
in hell that the practice of bathing in feces infested w ater w ith rotting corpses all
around is normal or understandable on any basic level.
It goes against very basic self preservation human nature, it’s an abomination.

If you w as stranded in a desert w ith no w ater, think for that moment w hen

Like all of the w orlds biggest rivers there is tw o sides to it, for these people
they have ended up having to resort to desperate measures for survival.
I dont think there is a local hospice or YMCA w here they can go seek shelter
and clean w ater, but thats poverty and if you can get of your high horse
maybe you’d see that as im sure these people in the pics are w ell aw are of

Civilized indians are shocked by these pics. ppl of high and middle classes never
throw bodies like that. they have enough money to buy enough firew ood. It’s not
so aw ful there as it may seem. I w as there,i know . i’m from a European country.
but yes… cow s in tow ns not alw ays have a chance to eat grass… w hat they have
to do is to search food in garbage.
Educated, intelligent, and thinking indians w ill never live in dirt. and they try to
separate themselves from poor dirty people. And they have reasons for that.
many of poor people in many cases w ant to do harm to w ell to do people. I lived
in a family, w here there w as a servant, 11 years old boy, w ho never studied at
school. First mom of my friend w anted to teach him to read and w rite… but he
started doing disgusting things and behaving inappropriate w ay – stealing, telling

Disturbing? Yes.
Archaic and out of place? Certainly. Much of this filth has been cleaned up. That
public hospital no longer exists. And the dead bodies in the Ganges are the
exception not the norm.
Also, must mention that the average Hindu does Not think and act like that. These
are right-w ing, fringe elements. A reactionary bunch of people, that stick to
ancient, out-of-date traditions, in response to modernization.
Varanasi is essentially a filthy place. W hat can you expect from the w orld’s oldest
city, that has been kept that w ay because certain right-w ing elements w ant it so?

Being an American w ho has alw ays w anted to travel to India, I must say… These
pictures do not make me w ant to travel there, less. My grandfather fought in
W W II and emerged a hero w ith multiple Purple Hearts and one leg permanently
shorter than the other. But it w as serving during Vietnam that seemed to change
him, most. After the w ar w as over, he moved to Asia and spent several years
traveling throughout. He learned to read, w rite, and speak fluent Chinese, but he
also picked up a patchw ork affinity for many different regions and an adoration for
Hinduism and Buddhism alike. (Although he w as not religious.)
Of course w e know that the Ganges is polluted and that plenty of people in India
are living in poverty, but at the same time, w e don’t think of people having to
bathe and drink from w ater that is literally polluted w ith multitudes of rotting
human corpses. It is a sad state of human affairs, but honestly w hat I have found
most interesting is the semi (and sometimes outright) racist and egotistical
comments that seem to be largely from a Chinese perspective!
There are many customs throughout the w orld that unaccustomed cultures might
find shocking. W hat w e see here is not really an example of custom, but of abject
poverty so dire it is horrifying to people, unaccustomed to it. Here in Huntington
Beach, California, the homeless are quietly tucked aw ay in corners. I w alk my dog
late at night and have passed them sleeping on bus benches (many cities here
have benches w ith an obstruction in the middle, to prevent homeless people from
sleeping on them) and even in the bushes. And yet, in daylight hours, most of
these people can go into a store restroom and have access to clean running
w ater – a luxury that Americans take for granted just as much as flipping a sw itch
and having electricity or driving around in sheaths of metal and plastic that w eigh
thousands of pounds. For most Americans, the level of poverty show n in these
images is not just unimaginable, but horrifying.
I w ould like to visit both “good” and “bad” parts of India, to get as w hole and real
a perspective as possible, so I thank you for enlightening us w ith this post and
the notion of visiting less tourist-friendly locations to get a fuller grasp.
I agree w ith some of the comments above, that a “redistribution of w ealth” w ould
be quite productive, for India. I am not sure w hy any millionaire w ould spend
ridiculous tons of money building a lavish home full of things they don’t need w hile
people just a few miles aw ay are suffering so desperately. Surely, pride in the
nation that afforded them riches for hardly w orking has not extended tow ard the
realization that those that w ork the hardest are barely squeaking by. Here, the
people that provide the most valuable services – janitors and farmers, for
instance – often aren’t even paid a living w age and can’t afford health care for
their children. It’s an embarrassment I feel should affect the people w ho toss a
ball or act or trade stocks for a living, the most. Instead, they cut a check to a
charity and continue w ith their multiple homes, jets, yachts, cars, personal
trainers, assistants, chefs, maids, etc… Unfazed.
Gandhi said, “be the change you w ish to see in the w orld.” Well, before you can
be a force of change, you need to see the w orld, for w hat it is. India has its
beautiful moments and its ugly moments… Like all of us. Sometimes you have to
see the ugly to appreciate the beautiful, and hopefully that learning experience
w ill make you a better person w ho ultimately seeks to bring out those qualities in
others and make the w orld a more beautiful place.

this is w hy w e end up w ith ‘the boy in the bubble’ syndrome w here kids can’t be

also their religion dictates that they have reincarnation (buddhists multi lives,

Actually, America does not behave in the manner mentioned above. In America,
the Africans live in abject poverty w ithin the big cities w hile Asians tend to be very
successful and w ealthy w hile living in the same cities. It’s a matter of “Multi-
culturalism” w hich is an idea that many Americans espouse. In America, the
new est victim of racism and prejudice is the adult male of European descent.
Africans, hispanics, and Asians are not required to assimilate and adapt to societal
norms, but are encouraged to live separately in their ow n communities w ithin
American cities. This breeds racial and ethnic division and all blame is assigned to
the adult European male as the cause of everyone else’s w oes and miseries.
I have never seen such squalor as this in any of my many travels across America.
It is strange, how ever, in America, that one often notices that it is the w ealthy
w ho choose to live in the country-side and not in the cities. America’s biggest
cities are its filthiest and poorest, and its smallest tow ns and villages are its most
pristine.
I have changed my mind about travelling to India after reading this report and
view ing the photographs. Even the country-side rice paddies of China in the early
and middle tw entieth century could not have harbored such filth and vermin and
disease as the most modern cities of India. I have no desire to subject myself to a
culture that has not enough self-respect to make even the slightest attempt to
bring its sanitary standards up to European middle ages standards. It is little
w onder that cattle, and not humans, are considered sacred in such a land.

These comments shocked me:” There’s truly something w rong w ith Indian people.”
“All this is easy to fix, just use violence. China uses the hukou system to keep the
poor population from settling in cities, and then uses chengguan to beat the
rabble to death. The cities w ill then look very nice.”
THE W RITER SHOULD E ASHAMED OF THEMSELF.

If they w ant to change it, they can do it, they don’t need your help (that you
probably w oudlnt provide anyw ay) and certainly even less your judgment on how
they live.
From w hat i read here, alot are talking like british anthropologists discovering a

values and supperior morality”. Its ridi-fucking-culous to still think like that in the
21st century. Instead of judging, try to understand w hy they act like that (thats if
the subject really interests you, not just shock you w ith a shitpile of gross photos
directed at making you sick).
The article goes very fast on how varanassi is spiritually energizing.
People die evryday, w e bury them partly cause w e dont w ant to think of our ow n
death and partly cause its more hygenic. Indians are much closer to nature than
any civilized capitalist society (and that includes parts of china) and there is some
stuff to learn from them if w e w anna save the planet from environmental chaos

There is some BS in this article.
There are lots of places that are incredibly dirty as show n above, but if the author
has in fact been to the south, they’d know much of it, including Goa, etc, are very
developed and have booming service and IT industries in cities that are rather
developed.
Lastly, I’ve been to a public hospital in india, and most public hospitals have more
or less the same standards in terms of sterile technique as w estern counterparts.
It’s a lie to say that is a picture of a real operating room.
And as far as “w iping w ith your left hand” goes, the lack of toilet paper doesn’t
mean people use their hand, the custom in south asia is people w ash their
behinds after going by pouring w ater from hose or bucket for cleaning.
I think w hat grosses most foreigners out more than anything is the lack of toilets,
w hich more than anything, is because of a preference for squatting.
For people w ho have never squatted, unless you are a fatass, it comes much
more naturally to humans, so most toilets are built into the ground or in less
civilized villages they just go in the w oods. Don’t get me w rong, it’s clearly a third
w orld country.
And you may very w ell be “racially superior” because of your shitting preferences.
But it’s silly to say the least that you determine someone’s value by w hether or
not they squat. Most indians in india face a great deal of adversity and w ork and
study rather hard and use a fraction of the resources.
Especially you Chinese. There w as a time w hen China w as considered the sickest
nation in Asia, had a minuscule literacy rate, and w as falling apart at the seams.
You’d think there w ould be a little more understanding for w hat it takes to move a
third w orld nation forw ard.

W hile I don’t deny that the sentiments portrayed in this post are true, w hat it
successfully does and that’s w hat is irksome is that it’s one-sided, one-track,
narrow -minded and, hence, not a true representation of the multi-faceted
personalities and realities of India. Simply put, it’s a baseless argument.
Besides, the w riter does w hat most w annabe bloggers do in the hope of
garnering attention w hile hiding behind the voyeuristic masks of citizen journalism
– he/she looks at things as they appear to be and not the w ay they truly are.
That itself should tell you how superficial and surface-led this portrayal is.
Structurally, it doesn’t even offer an explanation as to w hy this filth and this

almost indignant indifference to it exists in India.
As a civilisation, the concept of cleanliness in India has alw ays been prescribed by
social, cultural and religious institutions as that of purity, not industrial hygiene.
Mind you, it’s the same in almost all Eastern civilisations.
So, w hile the w ater of the Ganges can be muddy (understatement), because it
comes from a “divine” source, it’s pure. That is to say, the source and proximity of
the content to it or any unadulteration of it is more important than it’s treatment.
Less geeky w ay to say it – don’t interfere w ith the original content and the place
it comes from.
For instance, Indians w on’t see the contamination in a man using his hands to
make an evening snack but w ill w orry more about w hether the oil or milk or butter
he’s using is pure, hasn’t been adulterated and comes from natural refinement
processes instead of machines. Smelly butter made by hand, using milk straight
from the cow and using an old-fashioned egg-beater is “purer” and, hence,
healthier than something available in a plastic box in the supermarket.
Hence, bathing in the Ganges for a Hindu is not about w iping his body clean of
bacteria but more about cleansing his soul of impurities this “impure” daily w orld
may have inflicted on him.
Of course, this creates a complete oversight in terms of personal and social

hygiene and the situation is appalling. But that doesn’t mean that’s the only w ay
Indians live.
The younger generation in India today, in fact, is more inclined tow ards industrial
hygiene and cleanliness vis-a-vis purity. And that’s only the result of their
exposure to a more Western, globalised, urban socio-cultural and economic
system. So, yes, things are changing. But that’s not to override or ridicule the
purpose of w hat existed. It’s only a matter of social conditioning.
And please, I could get as cynical as you like about Shanghai’s slums, the
travesties and horrendous disregard for human life, hygiene and the environment
during the construction of the Three Gorges Dam and the fatal artificial cleaning of
the Beijing air prior to the 2008 Olympics but that’s not w hat w e are taught in
India. We learn from a very young age that before making blind assumptions and
rhetorical claims about anyone or anything, look at things the w ay they really are
and try and understand the mental models and circumstances guiding them. No
one’s foolish, everyone’s just bred a certain w ay. But alas, in the w ake of killing
every second child for years, then resorting to throw ing babies in the w ater and
suffering from tremendous inferiority tow ards the Japanese and the West, the
Chinese evidently forgot there is something called the human brain, the flipside of
the coin, embracing diversity and tolerating a different opinion or point of view .
One final rhetorical statement to make the author feel good about his populist,
trash style of w riting – in the mad race for economic grow th, you can have many
millionaires in China. But alas, not any Slumdog Millionaires.
That can only happen in India’s heterogenous setup and acceptance of nuances in
socio-cultural values that enables that. As they say, it happens only in India.

hi everbody…. I’m an INDIAN… and alw ays proud to be… HEY people there are
many perspective view s for everything w e see.. you guys please don’t get bad
impression about india because of these pictures above. you just know about
river ganga and varanasi and the belief people have about it before posting such
provocative comments on INDIA and INDIANS …
ok let me put a question for you all…
w ill you go to place just to die???????

the place w here these pictures are taken is kasi w here people come to die as a
ritual..
really w ierd right? yes kasi (varanasi) is the place w here people go on a
pilgrimage and pray god that they should die in the banks of river ganga. Every
“hindhu” have a belief that if w e die in kasi our spirits reach heaven and w e w ould
never struggle by reborn back in earth.. it is considered the eternity…
daily there are hundreds of dead bodies brought to bank of river ganga… some of
them are cremated and most of them throw n into the river.. its the ritual here… its
taking place for thousands of years so these things are not strange for the people
over here.. only for the outsiders its strange and they start think bad of india…
w e have five fingers in each arm.. and each one is unique and different.. if
everything is same then w e cant do anything w ith our arm.. India is a country of
DIVERSITY.. so instead of sitting in your closet and commenting bad about India
rather you research a lot about it, feel it, see in different perspective and you
w ont say bad about india..
stop discrimination and dont think you are great than others… everyone is equal.
everybody has lots of dirt on his back so make sure your back is clean before
pointing others…
i don’t know how to say these.. see it in different point of view then you may
understand…
there are people here in kasi w ho came to kasi and w aiting for 40 years to die in
kasi. there is a belief that if our bodies are throw n in the river our spirits reach
heaven… and people w ho w atch these corpse can learn that life and death is
nothing,they are also going to be floating like this one day so until w e live lets
share love and help others… this is w hat w e people learn here by visiting kasi…
ok let me end this by saying these , im not making fun or discriminating.. you
people use chop sticks to eat, you may have 1001 reasons to do so but people
here w ould laugh w hen they see you using chop sticks, they w ould ask haven’t
god given them hands w ith fingers to eat, w hat a fools they are to use a w odden
chop stick instead of fingers.. this is different point of view .. do u people
understand this…

Superstition- it has been believed by everyone allover the w orld, But all the
developed and modernized community is deeply trying to w ash out these
types superstitious craps, and they achieved. In this particular subject, India
is nothing if compared to China! You Indians are also 1001 reasons to say
about it. The main fact is Majority of Indians are not aggressive as Chinese in
extracting modern thoughts and lifestyle. If you w anna proof of it..just go to
“Little India” at Singapore and compare the other parts of Singapore w ith
this ‘Little India. I know you all w ould say “Spiritual purity is better than
Industrial or physical hygiene” , right I agree it is, but including these

Dear blind angry Indian

These reply is typical pointless Indian’s stuff, from your
inferiority and lack of modernity. All Indians have to say the same forever. If
anyone having nothing valuable today they w ould alw ays says about their
w orm-eaten folktales. It is historical method that using the Louts to pretend
like cultural lions!
It w ill not end if China started to say about its cultural heritage like Indians.
If you don’t know about it study Chinese history since BC 4000!
“China is the w orst country in the w orld”
There is no country in this w orld as w orst, I understand it is your reactions

from country mind. It’s the problem from lack of good thought. If china is
w orst w hat w ould w e characterize India???
w e hate cheap chinese goods and toys ,milk they are toxic
But you all buy and eat this thinks w ithout any shame!!! and one thing, All
the computer hardw are using in India is china made! Remember….
“”there is lot of pollution in china.it is the most polluted country in the w orld
w ith factories everyw here”"
Yeah, its true, but its only pollution from factories, not this type of shits made
by smelly idiot people like in those photos! Factories are exhibiting china’s
development and economic w ealth!!!
this dead corpses pics show that ur mentality.w e burn bcos and send to
ganges it is our culture
Some of your glorious cultures like ‘sati’ are banned after achieving
know ledge! and still things like these are remaining..
all the developed and modernized community is deeply trying to w ash out
these types superstitious craps!! But Indians Don’t!!
“”u keep ur fucking culture w ith ur self .at least indians dont eat trash but u
chinky shit eating pigs eat w hatevere u find anyw here – rats

Ha, Ha ..W ho said Indians w ould not eat pigs? You Indians eat all creatures
even human corps by the name of their glorious culture , and you
shamelessly acts like god-men!!
w e respect animals and u butcher them badly.india is very cultural and ethical
country not like your damn fucking dragon culture ha ha ha.east to w est

As a w esterner w ho have been in india many times (cause I like the spirit of
India) I have to say (still give one comment:) like some indians here say that
these pictures is nothing new . But many like me still choose to come to India
because there is lot more in india w hy one w ants to comes.
And believe me for most people it is even good thing to know before hand
many side of things they might come to see because it’s less shoking then.
They w ill come to see many things in india w ith their ow n eyes anyw ay and
it’s good to be open minded and prepared. It w ill only be dissapointment if
foreigners holds in their minds pictures about holy mountains, golden
temples, spicy basars and paradise beaches. (since that is not the exact
case anyw ay) and are truly dissapointed w hen their images of the holy land
does not come to be real. Then they might lose the interest to go beyond
and see beyond and see w hat india really can offer, teach and give. Those
people w ho choose to come to India are not looking for comfort, material
things and all this things since w e have it all in w est, they might come to
experience another kind of life, w ay of life and side of life. So anyone can
discriminate, tv’s, internet, magazines are full of pictures, articles, information
of any country, so nobody is so blind that reading one article thinks that this
w as the w hole picture. I can say honestly good and bad things about my
native land and w hat visitors, foreigners w ill come to experience probably
also w hen they come here. that’s it. I don’t have anything to lose or w in.
Facts are facts. I’m here if I choose to be, I travel w here ever I choose to
travel, anyone can choose w hat ever feels good to them

Dear bjw h50, I live in America and have visited Germany, lived in England, visited
Scotland and Holland and visited Canada.
Just to gently correct you, despite the aw ful things that sometimes happen in
America w ith the police, there is often a big uproar of public opinion against a
minority of bad police w ho “tazer”, beat or shoot and injure or kill citizens. Even
so, such evils are truly not happening in numbers to match those of old evil
countries such as East Germany, Soviet Union, or even China back in the days of
the (so called) Great Leap Forw ard.
The overall numbers of those murdered by their ow n government in America over
the past tw o centuries, including slaves (by their ow ners, not the government)
and indians w ould be in the few millions, maybe.
Adolph Hitler w as responsible for some 22 million dead, w hile Stalin w as

responsible for some 60 million dead and Mao w as responsible for how many
millions dead? 50? 60? 80? Nobody know s. Also, Pol Pot w as responsible for many
dead, and Africa is one big killing field of constant w ars, is it not?
This is not to defend the w rongs that America has done, but to put them in the
perspective that all nations can do evil. Britain did evil tow ards the many nations
w hich they had under their control over hundreds of years, as did France, Spain,
Portugal, Japan, and Holland.
Face it, humanity can show itself to be immeasurably evil, and also can be good at
times. It is not the exclusive nature of any one country to be monsters; w e all can
be.
So let real truth come out – w e normal American folks do not w ish any harm to
others, and surely do not w ish for others to live in conditions such as this. Little
w onder the Indian man w ho is a computer expert and w orks at my w ork alw ays
has a smile on his face! He no longer must live near this kind of thing in his native
India . But poverty exists here, in America, and it is grow ing even w hile China
prospers and becomes more w ealthy.
This is the normal w ay of things; Britain w as at the “top of the w orld” until the
1940′s, before that it w as France, before that it w as Spain, before that it w as
Holland, and also in Asia, various cultures w axed and w aned.
It is the w ay of how the w orld w orks, is it not?

I can say that some of those images make me aghast. But you chinese need to
understand that the Ganges is not representative of all of India. Don’t be so
foolish and provincial. In fact, 2 of the main things that influence China, martial
arts and Buddhism, came from India. Also, there are many poor and filthy areas in
China. This is a problem not of the rich and middle class of India, but the problems
of the poor. Once they get richer, you w ill see less of this.

I am chinese canadian, born in malaysia and grew up in canada. I must admit

that some chinese ppl can be very racist and narrow -minded, especially
those from China – but that’s probably because they’re never been
anyw here outside their little bubble and they don’t interact w ith ppl from
other countries and try to understand their culture and w ay of life. I have to
say though, w hen I first saw these images I w as shocked and slightly
traumatized but I’ve come to realized that this is the reality of poverty in a
3rd-w orld country. W ho are w e to judge? Both India and China have faults.
In one country, ppl eat anything and everything that moves (w hich I don’t
understand myselfy being chinese. Especially dogs/cats w hich is totally
w rong but that’s another topic). In another country, the majority of ppl are
vegetarion but they have animals living on the streets and feasting on
garbage and human remains. So in this China vs India debate, neither
country is better than the other.

It’s interesting to understand the Chinese w ay of thinking. I laugh at the author

and all chinese people w ho think like her.
She has not done much except taken some old selective pictures so that she can
feel better about her ow n miserable life. She seems obcessed w ith shit, cow s,
dirty bathrooms, dead bodies, using foul language and such… does this author
represent the “civilized” chinese people?
If India is so bad, then how come there are so many Chinese moving to India to
do business, study or w ork? Koreans and Japanese have already realised this and
India is already the 2nd fastest grow ing economy in the w orld.
Culture, history, beauty and progress does not seem to be of interest to this

The lack of any serious religious adherence in combination w ith a chaotic recent
history and rapid modernization is actually one of the main reasons w hy China is
an empty place, morally. In India, you can find dead bodies floating in the Ganges
because of religious practice and tradition. In China, you don’t – but not because
people give a fuck about human life, but because they like to pretend to have
some hygene standards (even though they live and eat in rat and cockroach
infested shitholes all the same).
The truth is that Chinese people take some of the parts of Buddhism that are
easy to relate to and call it their faith. They are not interested in the moral
consequences of their actions at all. They’d go to a temple if they believe it could
help them or their families, but I doubt many of them understand the concept of
karma. That w ould only get in the w ay of things, you see. If they w ould actually
believe in the w hole “repercussions of selfish deeds” thing that is big in religion,
China might become a nicer place.

So people w ho believe in karma (or in heaven and hell, perhaps) behave better,
do they? That simply doesn’t stand if you take a nice look at the w orld. India itself
is full of people doing horrible things just as much and more than China is, w ith or
w ithout religion.
Anyw ay in China there is a philosophy w hich influenced the culture hugely, it is
called Confucianism and it does talk about morality, even though it is not a
“religion” in the Western sense and people don’t go to temples to pray to
Confucius.
It is w rong to assume that the Chinese don’t have ideas about morality, they
have basic ideas about good and bad as much as anyone else, and they brake
them as much as anyone else.

Actually I have travelled in both china and India (including rural areas), and I must
say that even though you can see some pretty depressing or revolting sights in
China, it’s never as bad as India. Not by far. The richest regions of India looks
w orse than the poorest ones of China.

absolutely… i w as born and brought up in india, now reside in the US and

engaged to a chinese girl.
religion is the greatest means of control used by the corrupt politicians to control
the poor undeducated people in india.
China is so much better off w ithout it. I think for an economy to develop w ell an
authoritative goverment is good to start off w ith .. but further development is
easier if it itransitions to a democratic government.. some land reform and
redistribution of w ealth w ould have done india good after independence.
