Well, i guess by heavily fining such people spitting can be controlled, there is no other way. Just like now people do wear seat belts to avoid paying fine, similarly only if they have to pay a price by spitting will it be controlled to some extent. Also, govt should have spittoons for people to use them.

Catch hold of the person who spat and force him to spit in his own house.

Thank you Sir, and Madam.  Sir's views are well taken.  In fact, one day, I did argue with a guy who went on spitting on the road, if he would do it in his own house.  This happened in Tiruchirapalli.  The shameless fellow replied that India is a democratic country, and I could not complain. 

I just wondered, what exactly we mean by democracy.  Apart from fine, do you think educating children at schools and so on, can help?

Perhaps, he meant democracy as spitting everywhere and thereby  declaring at the top of his voice, "I'm a proud citizen of Democratic India."

Educating children can definitely help, in fact if school children see elders doing a wrong action such as spitting in public, they can also forbid such people. In fact as parents  everybody should also teach their respective children to inculcate the habit of not spitting anywhere they like other than spittons. I see the autodrive mostly doing this irritating thing of spitting right in the middle of the road.

Democracy comes with a price since we need to respect others freedom and not encroach on their freedom. But Indian democracy is a selfish one, meant only for an individual and may be extends to his family...damn the rest ! You tell someone, 'please dont spit' , he will immediately tell you, is this your road? this is public property and I can do what I want !!!! In such an uneducated and backward scenario, to get these people to think as one naton is not an easy task...It may take centuries before we see any positive change 

The spitting habit came into Indians because of the Congress misrule all these years.It was under Congress that India became a democratic country. Now that the dynastic and corrupt rule has been replaced by a new govt.which  will follow such policies that Indians will stop spitting !!!.

None can stop spitting habit of Indians. If that day comes, I'll  be the first to celebrate.

We are thic skinned, no amount of discouraging will work. Yesterday at the beach I noticed people spitting and urinating under the board that carried the message of Swatcha Bharat.
