You must have watched the educational ad series, "Atithi Dev Bhava" presented by Aamir Khan on Television channels. One of those ads shows a small kid peeing at a flyover, assisted by his parents and all this catches the sight of some foreign tourists moving in a car close to them. The tourists get really shocked to see what was that happening? Another ad shows how a woman moving in a bus throws the peels of banana from the window of the bus that fall inside the car moving parallel to the bus. The foreign passengers sitting in the car are again disgusted to experience such a thing.
It's a good initiative but I feel like it's not intended just to show a kid there, in fact the finger is raised more towards mature adults who can not be shown on television doing the same. But it's a shocking truth that this type of scene is very common in many parts of our country, specially in northern states of Bihar and UP. Health and Hygiene for the people living in those areas are their least priorities. It feels disgusting to those who are not frequented with these things. But those who do such things, are so habituated and shameless that they do it in full public view at roadside and at many public places. At many places on walls, you can read slogans that peeing there is strictly prohibited, still people don't spare even those places for such actions.
However I won't blame those people squarely for all this. People remain out of their homes for long hours and it's something which can not be controlled by everyone for long intervals. Moreover, Governments' and local bodies' apathy towards providing public toilets at optimum distances in most of the northern states in India is well known to all of us. Those who talk about the necessity of creating more and more toilets in India, before creating Temples are mocked at. Even those politicians who make statements in favour of this, only do the lip syncing, but even when they remain in power, they hardly do much in this regard.
Well we can't be perceived as educated, well-mannered and civilized citizens in the eyes of people from other parts of the globe until we provide our people these basic necessities. Government and local bodies need to provide clean and hygienic toilets every few meters at public places and on roads at affordable rates to the people. Once these are provided to our people, this will automatically inculcate discipline and manners in them required for a decent life standard. Your take please..
