A lot of people have seen the Ganges photo thread showing corpses in the river Ganges. It was posted on a Chinese site.
My Indian friends tell me that when they travel to China, they don't get treated right.
Chinese wait for Indians to leave the lift before entering.
Why are they so prejudiced? A search of Google gets you this humor sheet of points as to why the Chinese may not like India:

Let me ask you this:
Why haven't Americans done ANYTHING about 911?
Why haven't they moved ass to prevent thier country from getting into Afghanistan, Libya, Iraq etc.
Well , there are reasons that make India for what it is.
But if you wan't to make a site about how India is so filthy, then go ahead.
YOu're missing the point.
India is a cultural melting pot with HUNDREDS of different languages, religions, beliefs, traditions. You move 500 kms any which way and everything changes. Language, religion, food, vegetation.
Tell me: which other country in the world can claim this?
There are other factors. Massive corruption.
The current fasting for the Lokpal bill is important to decide the future of India.
On one side we have the corporate educated clean India, on the other the uneducated masses, scraping for a living , and not having had the luxury of an education , they live the orthodox way which creates the filth and dirt that you see in the posted photos.
But this is NOT the INdia that exists.
India is much more complicated than you imagine.
ANd getting India up from its orthodox past , and getting its people to be more contemporary is going to take time.
I ll leave you with these links to pics of the India you may have NOT seen:

So to all those of you who say India is filthy, I say go fuck yourself.
Look at your own country. Have YOU DONE ANYTHING ABOUT YOUR PROBLEMS?
No?
Then understand , that we too have a complex set of problems to tackle. And if you can't understand THAT, then screw you .
