>>22654212For anyone wondering why this memeflagging jeet is saying “you literally shit in your house” as an insult, I can explain because I keep up on Indian social issues. You’re not gonna fucking believe this.
Many more conservative Hindus, particularly in rural areas, refused to have toilets installed in their homes when the government pushed forward it’s major sewage management initiative, installing proper receptacles and sewer systems in many areas. Citing that it as unclean. Why you may ask? They believe human shit in the house is “spiritually unclean” even if it is only in your toilet bowl’s water for mere seconds before being flushed. I’m dead serious. Of course burning cow dung in your home is fine and dandy, but human shit being in water in a pipe for 40 seconds is sinful.
An Indian man came up with a solution, basically conservative Hindu families would have two rectangle-shaped boxes in their backyard/courtyard, where they would squat and shit. You shit in the first box until it is full, and then let it ferment and dry iut until it turns to dung, at which point they believe it’s fine to touch. When the first is full, you begin shitting in the other, and ideally by the time that one is full the other is done turning to dung, and you repeat the cycle.
A majority of Hindu families which had this installed were too lazy to commit to using it and returned to public defecation within a year. Shitting in the streets and along a riverbank is fine even if it makes you sick, because “the river is holy” and so if you drink the tainted water and get sick it means “you weren’t a real believer”. But shitting in a toilet? OH GID FORBID!
Don't believe me? Look it up
