Why do you think India is — for the most part — so deep in filth? And we are talking about the real one here, not the philosophical kind. If you travel, you’ll note that there might be places in our country which are really clean and orderly but you are seldom away from people who won’t think twice before littering. And this condition has very little to do with one’s status in the society. People rolling down their glass windows to dump plastic out of car is as common as the local train commuters slipping the same out of their grilled window. Everybody is more or less guilty. Even if you are one of those who never throw away garbage in public or test your spitting skills on a nearby wall, your efforts continue to remain an individual task as long as you don’t rebuke/chastise those defiling their surrounding. Yes, that sounds unfair. But the trouble with such civic responsibilities is you’ve got to involve as many citizens as possible. You can see the change by being the change itself but what’s the point if others are constantly changing your change?
