There really is no shame in admitting this.
Civic sense is not the Forte of us Indians. While the interiors of our houses are neat and clean and aesthetically designed, the ugly Indian does not think twice before spitting on the road or throwing out trash ( recycling and garbage segregation are concepts that we turn a deaf ear to).

It is not about the Indians residing India. Indians includes our not so friendly neighbours
(those who
shall not be named) as well. And the
wide diaspora of us and them that is spread out all over the world.

For example in an otherwise clean and disciplined city of London, Civic sense and lane discipline plunge as you
head into the predominantly South Asian Suburb of Southall. Elsewhere
we are law abiding immigrants who obey rules.
That is because we are a clan who obey. We obey authority. It is hard to inculcate a
sense of self discipline amongst us.

| Bangalore 10K run 2011 Picture shot on Blackberry curve June 2011, Cubbon Park, Bangalore, India |
Here were some pictures clicked after the Bangalore 10K run in 2012 at Cubbon park. The event raised funds for many Charity organizations that included the ones who worked for the environment. Kingfisher also got a lot of advertising mileage doling out free water bottles to the runners and onlookers who littered it all along the way.

Wonderful post and good to know people all over the world are trying to clean up the litter. It is bad here and when the snow disappears one sees all the garbage people leave behind. We know better so why do we do this? Thankfully, to the few, they clean up other people's messes
ReplyDeleteThis lack of civic sense among Indians is really shameful. I feel disgusted to see how we treat our public places, streets etc...I am familiar with the great work The Ugly Indian is doing. We need more of such dedicated groups/individuals.
