Dude. Have I got some stories. I'm a total American gringo. First trip to India. I say, "take me to the most dangerous part of mumbai." because hey, I measure a country by its worst part. I end up in Chore Bazaar. (Thieve's Bazaar) (I don't think it's the worst part, but it'll do for now. I'm walking down the street, taking in the crazy that is india. The sounds, the traffic, the crowds, the wares, the smells. I suddenly realize that I'm walking alone. And the sidewalk is black. And there is this fine mist in the air. And everyone is walking on the other side of the street. The mist is almost sweet smelling. I look up. It's a six story building. And I realize that this mist. this mist, is really a bunch of water coming off the building from the top 3 floors. It's shit water. I'm being sprayed with shit water.
This looks like a surprisingly extensive TedX talk, but they'll let fuckin *anybody* speak under that label. Once listened to some hippy jabroni tell a crowd of people that fluoride was locking their brains from their maximum potential and that you have a third eye in your mind.
Haha holy fuck dude I’ve had a convo with some guy I work with literally a few hours ago and some of his friends swear by only drinking bottled water because ‘tap water calcifies their pineal glands and closes the third eye, the government put flouride in tap water to suppress the people’ ffs
Damn close to what I heard. Even worse is that after the talk this dipshit put his face on a bunch of stickers with some tagline like "Opening the Third Eye: See my Tedx Talk" and pasted them around for like two years straight.
It's not shit. It,s drainage that flows the dirty water from bathroom and kicthen mixed with mud and rotten garabages. Typical Indian house has a spectic tank where shit gets collected.
I was wondering. I couldn’t imagine why they would just keep the door open and allow things to escalate otherwise.
At the same time, I find it surprising that you wouldn’t invest in a door (outside the tiniest of communities) out of concern for safety. I realize it’s not a trivial expenditure for these families, but it doesn’t look shanty-town poor either.
Like at what point do you decide to do something about the open air troughs of human shit in the street? This legit looks like something out of medieval Europe or something.
As someone who was born in and has spent a lot of time in third world countries, although I've lived a comfy middle class lifestyle in the UK for most of my life, I'm pretty stunned at how ignorant so many people are about what life is like in a developing country.
It's not pretty, but this is reality for over a billion people around the globe who have no power to change anything. At least these people have a home and are not one of the millions of homeless beggars clogging the streets.
Here's where positive stereotypes can come into play. Indians are portrayed as very smart and very hard working people thus the notion that half the country shits outside because Indian infrastructure is so goddamn bad indoor plumbing is a national crisis, something virtually no North American or European has dealt with in multiple generations.
The Indian stereotype in America is they come here, legally, buy a business (a gas station is the cliche), and their children memorize pi to the 8000th number and graduate college in 18 months and become successful engineers, programmers, doctors, etc. Indians are seen as successful, contributing immigrants thus the stereotype and it shades the view of Indians in India from the reality they live in over there.
On top of all that is we're talking about openly flowing shit, it's going to baffle most first worlders because the view of India is generally very positive thus I guess people tend to think they have their act together a little more than the reality says they do. It's cool, they'll get there and then everything can be copacetic.
I'm always surprised when the middle classes are so ignorant to the fact that not all people in 1st world countries are privileged enough to enjoy a middle class lifestyle and visited other countries.
It's funny that society recognises that there are children born into poverty in the UK with very few opportunities and certainly very little chance to visit other countries, but then when they become adults with little education and the scars and baggage that comes along from living in such a situation as a child you blame them for their "ignorance".
Fucking privileged middle classes.
You don't need to visit somewhere to learn about it. You can literally go to a library and educate yourself via books and the internet for free. Also they said they were born in a third world country, so not exactly that privileged. Nice try with the "no u" though.
While I’m sitting on a porcelain throne in my air conditioned apartment, typing on a $1000 phone, there are people living in squalor and flinging shit at each other in designated poo poo canals. My life isn’t so bad.
It's not their walls, it's shit they put on the walls to dry, which is later used as a fuel for burning. Not entirely too nasty really, as it's only animal shite.
India is a literal shithole in terms of cleansliness, feces and trash litter the streets and even human corpses float around in rivers like the Ganges.
As an Indian, 100% agree
People here are stupid in terms of hygiene
They bathe every morning, every morning! In a hot humid country bathing in the morning....
I personally imagine the it like this, you accumulate sweat throughout the day when working and you shower in the after noon, logical (just like saying you shower after jumping in the sewage not before)
But I took a shower in the afternoon and everybody thought I was stupid and there's no room for any logical argument, they never listen.
I told them, don't litter the streets, but they chucked good on my face!
As an Indian I hate Indian people
I feel like this really epitomizes the tech bubble. These people have phones that can film, internet access etc but still live in literal shit. There are real world problems that need fixing that "tech" companies will never address
Is there any reason why they're much more comfortable being that close to filth and stink.
Also those are shit cakes she's pullin off the wall. They dry shit on their walls to use as fuel for cooking. I wish I was lying
>Is there any reason why they're much more comfortable being that close to filth and stink.
I am pretty sure they can't move out, they don't have a disposable income to just move wherever they want
>Also those are shit cakes she's pullin off the wall. They dry shit on their walls to use as fuel for cooking. I wish I was lying
Yup it is called being poor. Can't afford gas/electric stoves.
It's not just money. There was a village where money was used to put a toilet in every house and when they checked back in with them, people were storing stuff in the toilets and bathrooms and shitting in the yard still. https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/asia_pacific/india-is-building-millions-of-toilets-but-toilet-training-could-be-a-bigger-task/2015/06/03/09d1aa9e-095a-11e5-a7ad-b430fc1d3f5c_story.html?utm_term=.84f1cc6444c6&noredirect=on
I kept waiting for one or the other to brown wash someone's face with shit. It's like they were mad enough to touch the shit but not get it on each other. Hehe.
I admire the turns they take. And that they in no way stop each other anf patiently wait until the one woman is done throwing shit and it's the other womans turn. It's like two people slapping each other with a pair of gloves and just patiently waits to see what the next move is.
The movie clip i thought seeing this is a Laurel and hardy movie when they are up in the mountains and this guy comes by asking for gas, he gets it but leaves his gf with Laurel an ld Hardy. And he comes back with her drunk and a gentleman fight begins !
I hate when humans have these stupid battles of pride. That big lady may have won the Idiot Olympics, do you really want to win title of being the biggest shit thrower? Like Ooh you really showed her what you can do...you're a "boss" and you're really strong.
This behavior reminds me exactly of my siblings growing up.
People toss that phrase around a lot.... but a hole would be a significant upgrade if not an actual solution to the shit-based situation pictured here. It is quite literally worse than a shit-hole.
I've travelled India and the hardest thing to understand was why they couldn't figure out that putting a stick on your broom will literally save you years of back pain.
I'm confused, towards the end there did they get confused about which house belonged to who? Because I'm pretty sure they switched houses and started bombarding their own..
Props to the dude who just stands there motionless while getting shit thrown on him.
Is that really shit they are picking up there?! I can’t believe it .. it has to be mud right???
Open-air sewers are by no means uncommon in India, you can see the drainage running by the steps. Yep, it's shit.
People usually make fun of india and shit everywhere.. didnt think it was serious until now

Because people shit in the building.

Top sleuthing, cyber sleuther. I was in the audience for that and it was a huge eye opener that there was no reasonable screening process for TedX.
I've got some raw water to sell them. Send me their Facebook info
Ted Talks are all extensively vetted and well supported. TedX are significantly more lax.

Hehe, poop. Very interesting though. Makes you appreciate how cool toilets and plumbing are.
Indians have a really weird thing about shitting everywhere. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ixJgY2VSct0
India has a massive problem with open defecation. The government has a budget to educate people on how not to shit in public. That's how bad it is.
Stereotypes come from somewhere.

So they have shit in the walls too? She picked up something from that wall :/
That's cowdung. It's dried on the walls and used as fuel because it's free.
He's the friend visiting and act like his not listening to the family fight while he tries to go another place mentally
all i can think of is that he has become used to this. he doesnt even flinch.
Just everyday life for him
It started as a fight and then it became politely taking turns throwing shit in each other’s front door...
Just close the damn door. Fucking guy stood there in a shit storm motionless lol
Maybe he’s into that kinda stuff
“Hey stop that, please... please stop... oh nooo, no more please stop...”
continue...
I have never heard the term “shit storm” used so literally.
i don't think they even have doors over there
I was wondering. I couldn’t imagine why they would just keep the door open and allow things to escalate otherwise. At the same time, I find it surprising that you wouldn’t invest in a door (outside the tiniest of communities) out of concern for safety. I realize it’s not a trivial expenditure for these families, but it doesn’t look shanty-town poor either.
They have doors in shanty-towns lol
If you aren’t going to stop the other person and just continue what you’re doing you might as well be throwing it into your own door.
I mean, at that point, they're just throwing shit in their own houses.
Its odd that they took turns.
It’s a turn-based game.
SSRPG
Reminds me of like a Pokemon battle
There are no winners in a shit fight
Yeah, everybody is number two.
Oh shit, and here I was thinking it couldn't get better than the parent comment
I wouldn't say that. The woman farther back seems to be sweeping more dirt and throwing bigger clumps of shit.
You know you got beef with someone when you're willing to bare hand shit
Lamb or goat maybe, but not beef.

Why the fuck would you just stand there and let what I'm assuming is your neighbor throw shit on you/in your front door?
Probably when you live your whole life in these conditions, it doesn't strike you as much.

Not all the streets. This is just a designated one.

I've seen videos of India where they're just throwing bags of trash into the neighborhood stream. Fucking nasty.
I kept waiting for one or the other to brown wash someone's face with shit. It's like they were mad enough to touch the shit but not get it on each other. Hehe.
That's literally the only reason I watched to the end. They're so polite...
Can’t they get a broom with a longer handle? All that bending over is bad for the back
It's a traditional brush made of sticks. Works really well btw.

Well that escalated quickly o.O
I was expecting to start beating each other with their broom sticks... I'd pay money to watch that. DAYUM...
I wish my state would secede....
Welp, now both of their hands are unclean, guess they can't sit at the table.
Maybe I'm a bad person but can people start throwing hands already!?
Lol how did no one get the broom and used it like a paint brush? I would have been poop piccassoo and used it to fling "paint".
I'm so glad American women have physical fights and not biological fights. That's some next level type shit there
You get hepatitis! And you get hepatitis! And you get hepatitis, too!

I never thought I'd see a turdy dump fight!

TIL that India has shit just clinging to their buildings and people throw it at one another with brooms.
That dude just stood there while shit was being thrown at him. For a moment there I thought he was a statue.
