People peeing and shitting on the streets in India

Relieving oneself or pooping in public is a common street practice in India. These are some pictures of people doing it in and around Mumbai.

The adult in the picture does not care that the road is busy. He is too busy to  take his rickshaw and find a public loo.

This man probably thinks that there is nothing wrong pissing on the garbage dump, or perhaps into the pond. He has a cycle (seen in the right of the pic) which he can use to find a public loo, if he wants to.

Usually number two is done early in the morning, but at times one finds them at it even on a sunny day. The man in the foreground has done his job and is going back home.  The boy in the background is sitting peacefully, drawing in the mud. A small bucket of water is next to him. Their shanties can be seen to the left of the picture.

  1. Well, I've seen a lot of Filipinos (Philippines) shitting around too. All kinds of shit are everywhere (in the rural part). The thing is, India is a big country and its defects can be easily seen by other people. Since Philippines is a small and not so popular country, our shithole is not that exposed as it must be.

  2. Ofcourse, this must be happening in other places too I am sure.
