At the bottom in terms of what? What are you comparing them to? If you're comparing some country to another country, only then you see the inferiority or superiority of that country. The West only looks nice and clean from the outside; inside, its just as rotten and dirty to the core.

Both of these civilizations are over 5,000 years old so lets just keep things in perspective. There is always a cycle of ups and downs. The West has enjoyed materialistic prosperity over the past 500 years or so while the East not so much. Maybe it will change in the future, who knows. The point is, every country has the same type of problems as another country.

Lets not forget the immense knowledge that came from these two countries. Too bad nobody lives that way.

You are living in Australia, a country that was stolen from the natives by the so-called "superior" Westerners. Now you build giant skyscrapers and call yourselves modern and educated. Keep an eye on your own home turf before mocking other people.

Err, no.

He also changed his mind and supported Indian troops in the British army in WWII. Lincoln also felt that slavery was unimportant in the north/south problem but changed his mind later.

The poster who said that British efforts in 'democracy' did not take in India is intentionally being hilarious. I suppose its the same sort of 'democracy' that did not take in Africa and the rest of Asia like the French in Vietnam. The fact is that the British didn't willingly give up its colonies and the elites in those colonies made sure that real democracy and independence were never achieved.

IMO his role was far too overstated in India's independence. India was going independent no matter what since the British was pulling out everywhere round the globe after bankrupted by WW2 and more importantly Indian armies weren't loyal to their masters anymore. Even Clement Atlee himself said Gandhi was a non-factor in the equation.

After which India was run by inept elected politicians borrowing his legacy ever since.

Thats what you think. I've lived in USA my entire life and once, only once, have I seen someone shitting out in public. It was a homeless guy who dropped his drawers and shit on the sidewalk right next to the courthouse on the streets of Paterson NJ, in full view of passer-bys. Paterson is a shithole anyway so I wasn't ultimately surprised.

In the "west" our dead are buried/cremated decently or kept in morgues etc... not disposed of like that. Even animal carcasses are treated more respectfully in the west than this. My post is not a slight on any Indians here but more of a STRONG disagreement with your statement.

Those pictures were shocking. There is no way in hell the society I'm accustomed to behaves that way.

I actually did a research paper on Water Quality of the Ganges River. Let me just say, I don't know how more people don't die from doing everything that they do in that river. They actually breed flesh eating turtles in the river now to help dispose of the carcass's of humans and cows alike. These turtles have lived for thirty years so far and haven't had any other real impact on the environment other than helping to clean it, and getting to the size of a small boat. I kid you not, they said that these turtles have been seen to get as tall as five feet and 3 feet or more in width. It's pretty cool stuff if you look it up.

Thanks, I never knew flesh eating turtles even existed:

http://www.tehelka.com/story_main53.asp?filename=Ne160612GANGA.asp

With the Ganga ferrying thousands of half-burnt corpses and animal carcasses, flesh-eating turtles were released to clean up the cesspool the river has become. But it didn’t work. According to BD Tripathi, member, National Ganga River Basin Authority (NGRBA), “A little more imagination was required. Here, turtles were released, but there was no effort to ensure that they survived. As a result, most of the turtles were poached by fishermen or killed.”

I watched it. It was very interesting. I do not want to visit India for sure, or Indonesia or any other place where toilets and plumbing are rare commodities.

Good to hear.

The worst toilet situation I remember was these public ones in Italy, oh my gosh.

Starting to watch it now. Do they say why they don't build outhouses? That's low tech, but it works. Beats shitting in a river anyway.

Good to hear, post your comments.

Before outhouses comes education why to have them, I guess.

I'm Vietnamese and I went back for the first time ever in 2008.
Remembered that Vietnam was pretty much blacklisted for 25+ yrs after the war.
Even after 25 yrs of very little improvement in their infrastructure, VN is no where as bad.
I traveled up and down VN and the worst I saw was people pissing on the street.
I guess it has everything to do with the mindset of the people.
If its OK to piss, shit, dumb corpses everywhere, people will continue to do it.
On another note, I think India has some of the most beautiful women in the world.

Its a combination of many problems. Poor infrastructure being the main one which is made worse due to the rampant corruption. People dont piss and shit on the streets out of choice. Its due to not having enough toilets (made worse by having over a billion people).

Criticize it all you like but hoping that the country wipe off the face of the planet is just WRONG.

Doesnt surprise me. I dated an Indian girl in highschool. Her mom was from Inda, her dad Bangledesh. Anyways they went to India in her early teens. Her and her sister were eating at an outside cafe and some guy fell off a cart and the wheels ran over his head splitting it wide open. People just stepped over him like nothing happened. He obviously died right there. And my then GF puked. While strangly her younger sister laughed.
