I don't really understand, Hinduism the faith teaches respect and love for nature, this is the sacred Ganges, why are Indians doing this to the Ganges?
Even i can't understand this, this is the river we worship and revere 1 and whose waters we consider holy, yet we remain silent about its desecration 2.
S claimed the pollution is caused by other towns and cities on the Ganges, and not by them. Water and sanitation 3 remains 4 a colossal 5 issue in India, up to 600 million people here don't have access to a toilet, one study discovered the bacteria from sewage in the Ganges was 12,000 times permissible 6 levels for bathing. The Ganges and other Indian rivers are horrifically polluted, and successive Indian governments have failed to clean them up.
I travelled another 200 miles to Varanasi, one of the most sacred Hindu holy cities.
