The toilet issue in non-resort India, to put it mildly, will surprise the average tourist who has not left the hotel and has not left the resort area. About the wild customs of Indians, their strange relationship with toilets, which should be regulated by “toilet inspectors”, the traveler told in his blog.
The tourist said that Indian beggars, who consider such places “bad”, do not recognize bathrooms. Instead, they fulfill their needs in the bushes, forests, and gardens as whole families. Due to unusual views on the arrangement of the world, there are no toilets in their houses. “He just shouldn’t be where people live. That’s why the family goes to the toilet wherever they want,” said the travel blogger.
According to him, Indian men “wetted everything, every centimeter of the roadside.” During walks in non-tourist areas, locals urinating are often found – the blogger was shocked by such spicy details.
“I used to be shocked by the Chinese that they urinate on the go… But when I saw it live, I decided that all Chinese are crazy. How can you relieve yourself in front of passers-by, right on the road? In general, these babies are Chinese. But now the Indians, they too have not gone far. They trample in the same place as decades ago, and when they need to go to the bushes because it has not been customary to build toilets in houses since time immemorial. And if they ask about the toilet, many Indians do not even understand my surprise, why going to the toilet with the whole family in the forest is strange. Many religious people, and even more rural residents, go to the wind in the forest or in the vegetable garden to this day,” the traveler shared.
The Indian authorities have joined the struggle for toilets in residential buildings. They obliged the residents to allocate a separate place for defecation in the living space or next to it. The prescription was carried out with reluctance, so it was decided to appoint special toilet inspectors, whose duty is to go around the houses and check the condition of the bathrooms. This does not check cleanliness, but the fact of use. “If the toilet is not used, people pay fines,” the tourist added.
