Yeah!! We Indians are so inscrutable!!
While we are so fastidious and meticulous about personal hygiene, we are extremely dirty once we step outside our homes! Without second thought, we nonchalantly spit, urinate, and litter the surroundings indiscriminately!! :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

@chinmoy, that is because there is absolutely no one to check our behavior on the streets!
When I was in England, people were extremely careful to pick up even a single scrap of paper they dropped by mistake! If they did, they knew they would be immediately fined heavily by a traffic cop! Similarly it is so in Singapore and other countries! In all these countries, it was not always so but the govt. put their foot down and ensured that by hook or by crook, people follow those rules! Any errant behavior was immediately punished. Sticking to the rules and regulations has now made them habitual of those rules!
Wonder when it will happen in India 'coz I have seen cops themselves spitting and urinating on streets!! :woohoo:

I have also heard from old and elderly people that during the British Raj the adminstration was very firm in dealing with these cases.Although I am stating this in a different context,giving more laws to the law enforcers seem to help them in lining their pockets only.The other I heard a motorcyclist saying the purpose behind wearing helmet is not to protect his head but to save himself from police trouble!!!
