Hi,welcome to solsarin site,today we want to talk about“why is india so dirty”,
thank you for choosing us.
Unlike many countries where special efforts are made to keep areas surrounding tourist attractions spotless, India allows such places to be as clean or as dirty as the less-frequented tourist spots.
Although Russians are not known for being particularly politically correct, members of the country’s polite society often avoid asking Indians about public hygiene, in order to not sound offensive.
Indian streets and (parts of) e.g. stations and other public buildings are far far more dirty than e.g Vietnam or Thailand, while poverty levels aren’t that different; India has its rich and poor (slum) areas like all other developing countries. I have far too many Indian friends to want to be rude, but there are reasons for this. It’s partly an attitude problem, with lots of ‘superstition’.
There are even some temples where cleanliness is, well, doubtful – and even a temple where RATS are worshipped, and the ‘holy rivers’ which are also open sewers and still used for ‘purifying baths’. And the overt respect for Holy Cows including their droppings which in turn can pollute the stations and Streets too much.
But whether this means more risk of getting sick – nope. It can happen in a 4- or 5 star Vietnamese or Thai resort as much as with Indian street food; it’s all about how proper and controlled the supply chain is, and you want to see what happens in the kitchen of the Thai resort and in the delivery fans bringing ‘fresh’ refrigerated food to it as little as you want to see what happens in some Indian street restaurants.
Simply stress on freshly cooked and thoroughly baked food, avoid anything that could have been touched by dirty hands without heating afterwards, and you are as fine as elsewhere in e.g. Vietnam. No 100% certainty against Delhi Belly but get that nowhere in the 3rd world.
Recently, Minister of Rural Development Jairam Ramesh courted a controversy with his remark that India needed more toilets than temples. Open defecation has become so rooted in India that even when toilet facilities are provided, the spaces round temple complexes, temple tanks,
beaches, parks, pavements, and indeed, any open area are covered with faecal matter.
Some years ago, while staying at the Guest House of an undertaking,
I watched with disbelief the wife of a fellow-guest occupying another room letting her child out into the compound to do its business. When I asked her why she was doing it when there was a good attached bath-room,
she blandly said that the child was not comfortable with any other mode of evacuation. True story!
If one wants to keep one’s sanity,
one should avoid entering the kitchen of a hotel or even an ordinary household. I sometimes wonder how we are still alive eating at our hotels. At the dining hall of a posh mansion hired out for weddings,
I noticed stacks of dahi vadas and jalebis kept covered by the dirtiest clothes I ever saw.
Here are some sample findings from a published study conducted by Hygiene Council and supported by Reckitt Benckiser:
All swabbed kitchen cloths in India are heavily contaminated and found to be the dirtiest item in Indian households; in 92 per cent cases, chopping boards and knives are found to be contaminated; 45 per cent of home makers do not wash fruit and 51 per cent of them do not wash vegetables before eating; only 44 per cent of them clean and disinfect their child’s lunch box every day; only 44 per cent of children are made to wash their hands after playing outside.
